Installation Specifications
EXCEL and COMPACT
Space Required and other Installation Considerations
1) Ensure that the toilet is installed on a level surface or sloping slightly towards the safety drain.
2) Compost will be removed from the finishing drawer. Ensure that there is at least 15” in front of the
EXCEL or COMPACT toilet so that the drawer may be removed from the unit. (See page 12)
3) Install the toilet in a location where the safety drain hose can be connected if required. The safety drain
exits from the back of the toilet and must slope downward at all points. (See page 9)

Install in a location where the vent pipe can b

.
(See page

)
5) To ensure proper ventilation, install in a location that is not air tight. The toilet must be vented to ensure
odorless op
eration.
6) The fan will run continuously 24 hours per day while in use. A ground fault interrupter (GFI) circuit is
recommended for any toilet installed. If you are in an area where you experience power fluctuations,
you may wish to use a surge protector.
The 230V models have an over current protection device on the heating element circuit, which is
intended to
p
rotect the fuse
and is loca
ted on the electri
c box.
EXCEL NE (Non-Electric)
Space Required and other Installation Considerations
1) Ensure that the unit is installed on a level surface or sloping slightly towards the safety drain.
2) Compost will be removed from the finishing drawer. Ensure that there is at least 15” in front of the
EXCEL NE toilet so that the drawer may be removed from the unit. (Page 12)
3) Bends in the vent, downward or horizontal runs, installation near hills, or overhanging trees may cause
downdraft. A 12V fan may be required.
4) Competing appliances (ie. wood stove) may need an air intake installed from the outdoors. The EXCEL
NE has a passive vent. Competing appliances draw a lot of air and may cause your composting toilet
vent to draw air into the building rather than venting to the outside. A 12V fan may be required.
5) The safety drain is required in all installations of the EXCEL NE. Install the unit in a location where the
safety drain can be connected. The safety drain exits from the back of the unit and must slope
downward at
al
l points.
