STEP G. Cutting the toilet chute to length:
Place the toilet chute into the floor hole and through the compost tank top. Open the
tank inspection door and from inside the tank mark the cut-off length on the toilet
chute, allowing 80-100mm drip edge below the lowest part of the tank top. Remove
chute and cut off at mark.
STEP H. Fix the toilet chute and collar in place:
1. Having cut the toilet chute at the correct length, push the toilet chute back
through the hole in the floor, through the toilet chute collar and into the compost bin.
The top shoulder of the toilet chute should sit flush against the floor. Lift the toilet
chute slightly and put sealant between the toilet chute and the floor then press chute
down again to seat firmly onto the floor.
2. Bend and work the metal edging strip of the chute collar to match the shape of
the tank top for a good seal. (This step may be easier to do after the pedestal is fixed
and holds the chute in place)
3. Run a bead of silicon sealant around the underside edge of the collar.
4. Using the ½” stainless screws provided, secure the collar to the tank top by
screwing through the metal edging strip.
STEP I Fix the Toilet Pedestal:
1. With the chute in final position, place the pedestal in position by matching the
groove in its base to the upturned flange lip of the chute.
2. Carefully drill small screw-starter holes into floor through the 4 pedestal fixing
holes, taking care not to scratch or move pedestal. If your drill is too large to access
these holes then mark the hole locations,remove the pedestal to avoid damage, and
drill suitable floor holes for fasteners. Remove the pedestal to apply sealant as follows.
3. For sealing of the chute to the pedestal, place a large bead (8-10mm) of silicon
sealant around the inside corner of the chute.
4. On underside of pedestal, place a large bead (5mm) of silicon sealant along the
bottom of the V-groove in the pedestal. Also run a small bead of sealant around the
outer edge of the pedestal base, to seal it to the floor and prevent ingress of liquids
and grime from the outside.
5. Carefully place the pedestal into its final position over the chute and fixing
holes, then fasten the base to the floor with appropriate fasteners (screws if wooden
floor, concrete anchors if concrete slab).
6. Smooth sealant at the two exposed joints (on inside and exterior) and wipe
off excess. Do not use solvents to clean excess sealant from the pedestal as it may
damage surface.
7. Attach the toilet seat to the pedestal top using the supplied fixings.
