How to Install a Dual-Flush Toilet

Steps:
1 Remove the old toilet and both closet bolts; use a putty knife to scrape the old wax seal from the closet flange (toilet drain pipe).
2 Inset the two new closet bolts into the slots in the closet flange.
3 Place the plastic mounting flange over the closet flange.
4 Lay the paper template that comes with the toilet over the mounting flange and mark the screw-hole locations for both mounting blocks.
5 Drill through a tile floor using a carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.
6 Switch to a twist-drill bit and bore screw-pilot holes into the wood subfloor.
7 Screw the two mounting blocks to the floor.
8 Press a wax seal onto the plastic mounting flange, then set it on top of the closet flange; add washers, hex nuts, and then tighten with an open-end wrench.
9 Set the new toilet into place, making sure it fits over both mounting blocks.
10 Screw through the toilet base and into the mounting blocks to secure the toilet; conceal the screw heads with the chrome caps provided.
11 Remove the flush valve from inside the toilet tank.
12 Connect the flexible water-supply line to the underside of the tank.
13 Carefully set the tank onto the bowl and tighten the two bolts.
14 Install the flush valve inside the tank and connect the refill tube.
15 Connect the water-supply line to the shut-off valve, then open the valve to fill the toilet tank.
16 Flush the tank a few times and check for leaks.

How to Install a Water-Powered Sump Pump

Steps:
1. Attach two 3-foot-long 2x3 cleats to the wall above the primary sump pump; fasten the cleats with 3-inch screws.
2. Screw the backup sump pump to the 2x3 cleats using the mounting hardware provided. Be sure to set the float on the backup pump slightly above the height of the primary pump.
3. Next, cut into a nearby cold-water line and run ¾-inch-diameter copper pipe down to the control valve on the backup sump pump. Solder each connection with a propane torch and lead-free solder.
4. Unplug the primary sump pump. Then, drain water from the existing discharge pipe by using a slotted screwdriver to loosen the band clamp on the check valve.
5. Cut into the into existing discharge pipe leading from the primary sump pump, and run a new 1½-inch-diameter PVC discharge pipe from the backup pump.
6. Install a new check valve onto the backup pump, then use PVC pipe primer and cement to clean and solvent-weld together the plastic pipe and fittings.
7. Disassemble the backflow preventer, then open the water valve to flush any solder or flux into a bucket.
8. Fill the sump pit with water, plug in the primary pump and wait for it to turn on.
9. Unplug the primary pump and raise the float on the backup pump by hand to simulate water rising in the sump pit. When the float reaches the appropriate level, the backup pump will kick on and drain the water from pit.
