Do you have a question about the ProFlo PF9800 Series and is the answer not in the manual?

This document describes the PROFLO PF9800 Series UHET Toilet Bowl and Tank, designed for efficient water usage at 0.8 GPF (Gallons Per Flush). The manual provides detailed instructions for installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance, available in English, French, and Spanish.

Function Description:

The PROFLO PF9800 Series UHET Toilet is a high-efficiency toilet system comprising a bowl and a tank, designed to minimize water consumption while maintaining effective flushing performance. It operates at an ultra-high efficiency rate of 0.8 gallons per flush, making it compliant with WaterSense criteria and certified by IAPMO R&T. The toilet features a standard two-piece design, with the tank mounted directly onto the bowl. The flushing mechanism includes a fill valve, float cup, and flush valve, all working in conjunction to ensure proper water levels and efficient waste removal. The system is designed for easy installation, with clear instructions for setting up the bowl, tank, and connecting the water supply.

Important Technical Specifications:

Water Consumption: 0.8 GPF (Gallons Per Flush).
Compliance: WaterSense certified, meets EPA criteria, certified by IAPMO R&T.
Components: Toilet bowl, toilet tank, fill valve, flush valve, float cup, triangle gasket, plastic seal, rubber seal, hexagon seal, bolt caps, bolt, washer, nut.
Recommended Tools: Screwdriver, adjustable wrench, marker, sponge, ratchet wrench, measuring tape, level, hacksaw, putty knife, wax seal, toilet bolts, water supply and shut-off valve, toilet seat.
Minimum Water Pressure: 20 psi for optimal flushing performance.

Usage Features:

The toilet is designed for standard residential or commercial use where water efficiency is a priority.

Installation: The manual provides a step-by-step guide for installing the toilet, starting with the removal of an old toilet, preparing the flange, setting the new bowl with a wax ring, securing the bowl to the floor, and then attaching the tank to the bowl. Specific instructions are given for tightening bolts and connecting the water supply.
Tank-to-Bowl Connection: The tank connects to the bowl using brass bolts, washers, and nuts. The flush valve barrel needs to be removed and reinstalled during tank assembly to allow for bolt insertion.
Water Supply Connection: A water supply line connects to the float valve. It is crucial to hand-tighten the water supply connection and not use pliers or pipe dope, plumber's putty, or other sealants, as this will void the warranty.
Flushing Mechanism: The toilet uses a standard flush lever mechanism. The water level in the tank is controlled by the float valve and float cup.
Troubleshooting: A comprehensive troubleshooting guide is included for common issues such as the fill valve not filling or shutting off, leakage, and poor flush performance. Solutions range from checking the water supply and adjusting the fill valve to cleaning components and ensuring proper gasket placement. For instance, if the fill valve doesn't fill, users are advised to check if the water supply is closed, if the float is stuck, or if the drain guards are obstructed. For leakage, checking the tightness of flush valve and fill valve nuts, and centering the flush valve gasket are recommended. Poor flush issues suggest checking water level, water pressure, bowl obstruction, or a distorted flush lever cable.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the toilet.

Regular Inspection: Users are advised to inspect the fixture frequently after installation to ensure no leaks develop.
Cleaning: It is important to not use abrasive powder or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the product surface.
Tightening: Avoid over-tightening the lock nut or coupling nut, as this can lead to breakage and flooding.
Specific Component Care:
- Cone Washer: Do not use a cone washer with plastic supply lines.
- Pipe Dope/Silicon Sealants: Do not use pipe dope or other silicon-based materials to tighten the supply coupling nut, as this will void the warranty.
Toilet Bowl Cleaners: A critical warning is issued against using in-tank toilet bowl cleaners containing bleach or chlorine. These chemicals can damage tank components, potentially causing flooding and property damage, and will void the PROFLO Fixtures Limited Warranty.
Warranty: The product comes with a one-year warranty from the date of installation, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty does not cover installation or labor charges, damage due to accidents, abuse, improper installation or maintenance, or modification of the original product. It also explicitly states that Ferguson is not responsible for failures or damage caused by the use of abrasive cleaners. For warranty service, purchasers should contact their local Ferguson location or customer service.
