INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Skyline Champion®4 2-piece Toilets

Thank you for selecting American Standard - the benchmark of fine quality for over 100 years.
To ensure this product is installed properly, please read these instructions carefully before you begin.
(Certain installations may require professional help.) Also be sure your installation conforms to local codes.

epending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from

the Champion in a back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on

the system and draw water from the opposing bowl. The National

Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a cross fitting for

drainage as throw over is possible. The code does approve a

directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting to direct the water

downward and away from the other toilet.

Manufacturer's First Year Fill Valve Warranty:

TROUBLESHOOTING FILL VALVE

IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 14.

IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:

• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.

• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or misaligned (replace seal or flush valve).

IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster

Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
