    1. To set up for a sink connection, cap off a piece of 1 1/2 inch PVC and connect it into the supplied accordion connection.

    2. Secure all connections with clamps.

    3. To install the toilet, set the clamp onto the toilet's discharge outlet (figure B).

    4. Next, place the bowl in from of the macerating unit and pull the accordion gasket all the way onto the discharge outlet (figure C).

    5. Carefully inspect the gasket and make sure that it's even all around and that the clamp rests over the edge of the gasket, then tighten down the clamp.

    6. Once the bowl is over the holes in the floor, slip the china protectors over the lag screws (figure D).

    7. Then, tighten the lag screws being careful not to over-tighten them.

    8. Snap the bolt covers into place.

    9. Install the toilet tank by lining up the gasket and tank bolts (figure E). Again, be careful not to over-tighten.

    10. Install the seat.

    11. Attach a stainless steel flex line from the bowl to the valve (figure F) and turn on the water to check for leaks.

    12. All plumbing connections are completed and it's time to plug the unit in. Turn on the water and test out the system.
