Installation
22. Your local or state plumbing code may require you
to test the system with a "10 foot water column test".
If so, make certain the pump chamber lid screws
are tightened down properly and that the lid gasket
is seated. Plug the 4" diameter toilet opening (in
the top of the tank) with an expandable plumber's
plug (available at hardware stores). Also plug any
other openings in the system except the highest one
(normally the top of the vent stack). Make sure that if
the system is tied in to existing vents, drains, sewers,
toilets, etc., that any openings in these system
components are also plugged securely. The system
can now be tested per code requirements. Consult
your local code officials for more information about
this test.
Risk of flooding . Risk of damage to floor
and possible flooding. The tank and lid will expand with
the water column pressure while being tested. If you are
installing the tank under the floor, complete the testing
before the floor is installed.
23. Install the long studs and nuts (Repair Parts, Key
No. 10) that are used to fasten the toilet to the tank
or subfloor.
NOTICE: To tighten the studs, thread both nuts onto
one stud, then use the 1/2" wrench to tighten the
upper nut. The nuts should jam on the stud and turn
it into the threaded hole in the tank. Remove the
nuts and repeat for the second stud.
NOTICE: A standard floor flange is not required.The
position of the toilet must be determined to allow
the stud to be inserted in the correct holes. Install the
wax ring. Be sure to align the studs for installation
of the toilet bowl in the desired direction. (i.e., If the
vent and discharge pipe are to be installed behind
the wall to one side of the Add-a-Jon, you can turn
the toilet sideways on the tank top so that the flush
tank is flat against the wall – see Figure 5).

24. Install the wax toilet bowl seal(s) at the hole on
top of the tank and install the toilet following the
instructions from the wax seal package.
NOTICE: Do not use a wax seal having a flange that
extends into the tank; it may cause clogging. If a 1/2"
or 1/4" floor is installed over the tank, the appropriate
floor flange extender seal kit must be used. See NOTICE:
Floor Seal. Hook up the water line to the toilet. Turn
on the water and fill the toilet tank. Test for leaks,
flush the toilet, and allow the pump to cycle to ensure
proper operation.
