The provided document is an installation manual for the Trone Zentina toilet, indicating it is a plumbing fixture designed for bathroom use. While the manual primarily focuses on installation, it provides insights into the device's function, some technical specifications, and usage/maintenance considerations.
Function Description:
The Trone Zentina is a toilet system, likely a smart or bidet toilet, given the emphasis on water valve installation, battery installation, and a remote control. Its primary function is waste disposal, but the detailed instructions for water supply connection and the presence of a battery and remote suggest advanced features beyond a conventional toilet. The installation process involves connecting to a water supply, securing the toilet to the floor, and installing a battery for what appears to be electronic functionalities controlled by a remote. The mention of a "braided hose" connecting to an "angle valve" further confirms its reliance on a pressurized water supply for flushing and potentially other water-based functions. The toilet is designed for indoor bathroom applications, as indicated by the caulk application instructions.
Important Technical Specifications:
The manual specifies critical water supply requirements for optimal operation:
- Minimum static water pressure: 20 psi
- Maximum static water pressure: 80 psi
- Minimum water flow: 1 Gallon every 10 seconds
Electrical requirements are also noted:
- Power: 115 V power GFCI receptacle within 4 feet of the toilet. This indicates the toilet requires an electrical connection, strongly suggesting electronic features such as a bidet function, heated seat, or other smart functionalities.
Plumbing connections are detailed, with options for different water line types:
- Copper Stubbed Out of Wall: Requires adapting plumbing to ½” FIP (Female Iron Pipe) with a gasketed John Guest female adapter.
- PEX water line: Requires a ½” Female gasketed swivel adapter for crimping into the PEX water supply.
- Existing valve: Involves replacing the existing supply line with a 3/8" to ½" FIP supply line.
The manual also implicitly indicates the use of a standard wax ring for sealing the toilet to the floor drain, a common component in toilet installations.
Usage Features:
While the manual is installation-focused, it hints at several usage features:
- Electronic Functionality: The requirement for a 115V GFCI receptacle, battery installation, and a remote control strongly implies advanced features such as bidet washing, possibly heated seating, air drying, or other automated functions. The remote control is the primary interface for operating these features.
- Water Supply Options: The provision of three different water valve installation options (Copper Stubbed Out, PEX, Existing Valve) offers flexibility for various plumbing setups, though one option (existing valve) is noted to reduce water pressure and volume, suggesting a potential impact on performance if not properly addressed.
- Secure Installation: The instructions for aligning the toilet with floor marks, using closet bolts with washers, and applying mildew-resistant caulk ensure a stable and hygienic installation, contributing to safe and long-term usage.
Maintenance Features:
The manual touches upon initial setup and leak prevention, which are crucial for long-term maintenance:
- Leak Checks: Instructions to "check for leaks before setting the toilet in place" after water valve installation and "Open the supply stop and check for leaks" after connecting the braided hose are critical for preventing water damage and ensuring the system's integrity.
- Caulk Application: The recommendation to "Caulk the bottom edge of the toilet with a mildew-resistant caulk" serves as a maintenance feature, preventing mildew growth and providing additional security and strength to the toilet's base. This also simplifies cleaning around the toilet base.
- Battery Replacement: The battery installation steps imply that batteries will need to be replaced periodically to maintain the electronic functionalities of the toilet, although the frequency is not specified.
- Warning against Overtightening: The explicit warning "DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Over tightening may crack the porcelain base" during closet bolt installation highlights a critical maintenance-related caution to prevent damage to the toilet's porcelain, which would require costly repairs or replacement.
