1. Place a new wax ring over the flange (figure A).

2. Next, line up the closet bolts with the bowl and gently let down the bowl.

3. To make sure you create a proper seal with the flange and drain, temporarily add the seat and sit on the toilet. Your weight will evenly press the seal tight.

4. Tighten the provided nuts over the closet bolts, then tighten.

5. Line up the flushing valve to the opening in the top of the toilet bowl. After making sure the seal is in place add the tank to bowl gaskets (figure B), then tighten down with a screwdriver and crescent wrench.
