1. Rough-in & Toilet Positioning
Rough-in Distance (Critical)
- Standard rough-in: 12 inches (305 mm) from finished wall to flange center
- Always verify before installation
⚠ Incorrect rough-in size may prevent proper installation
Side Clearance
- Minimum: 15 inches (38 cm) from centerline to wall/obstacle
Front Clearance
- Recommended: ≥ 30 inches (76 cm)
⚠ Provides better comfort and meets modern bathroom design standards
Floor & Leveling
- Floor must be solid, level, and finished
- Ensure toilet is level (front-back & side-side)
- Prevents:
- Wobbling
- Seal failure
- Noise
2. Drainage Requirements (IMPORTANT)
Direct Connection Required
EPLO smart toilets are designed for direct connection to a standard floor flange.
❌ Do NOT install:
- Additional external P-trap
- S-trap adapters
- Flexible or corrugated drain hoses
- Offset drain extensions (unless absolutely necessary)
✅ Correct Installation:
Toilet → Floor Flange → Building Drain System
⚠️ Important Note
- The building’s plumbing system already includes internal trap protection
- No additional trap is required or allowed
⚠ Adding extra bends or traps may cause:
- Weak flushing
- Drain blockage
- Water backup
Flange Installation
- Flange must be:
- Flush with finished floor or slightly above
- Firmly secured
- Use:
- Wax ring or high-quality rubber seal
3. Water Supply (Angle Valve Position)
Recommended Position
- Side of toilet (left or right)
- Do NOT place behind the toilet
Height
- Approx. 6 inches (15 cm) above floor
Distance from Centerline
- Ideal: 6–10 inches (15–25 cm)
Installation Notes
- Ensure easy access for maintenance
- Use Teflon tape to prevent leaks
- Test for leakage before final installation
Water Pressure Recommendation
EPLO smart toilets are designed for a wide range of water pressure conditions:
- Models with built-in tank & booster pump perform well even in low water pressure environments
4. Electrical Requirements
Outlet Type
- Must use GFCI outlet (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
Recommended Position
- Same side as angle valve
- Avoid crossing cables behind toilet
Height
- Approx. 12 inches (30 cm) above floor
Distance from Toilet
- Ideal: 12–24 inches (30–60 cm)
Power Supply Recommendation
- Use a dedicated 120V circuit
- Avoid sharing with high-power appliances
Safety Notes
- Keep power cord away from water
- Do not use extension cords
5. Installation Best Practices
Sealing & Fixing
- Do not overtighten bolts (prevents ceramic cracking)
- Ensure stable base contact
Accessibility
- Keep:
- Water valve
- Power outlet
- Rear service area
easily accessible
Ventilation
- Ensure bathroom has proper airflow
- Prevent moisture damage to electronic components
6. Final Testing (MANDATORY)
After installation:
Water Test
- Check all connections for leaks
- Open valve fully
Flush Test
- Flush multiple times
- Confirm:
- Strong flushing
- No backflow
Function Test
- Test all smart features:
- Bidet wash
- Seat heating
