RECOMMENDED SETTING OF CLOSET OUTLET CONNECTION AND FIXTURE STUDS
Manufacturers have slight differences in the depth of the closet horn and flange thickness of their closets. Usually the fixture support closet connection should extend 5/16” beyond face of finished wall (Dimension “R”) and the fixture studs 2 1/4” (dimension “X”). For exact dimensions, please use the formulas below:





DETAIL A     S + 1/16” - D = R
R = Distance coupling should extend beyond finished wall.
S = Depth closet horn
1/16” = Distance closet is to set away from finished wall.
*D = 1/2” for felt gasket and 3/8” for neoprene gasket.

NOTE:
When the fixture is installed, closet gasket must be compressed sufficiently to assure a gas and water tight seal.

DETAIL B   Y + 1/16” + 9/16” = X
X = Distance supporting stud should extend beyond finished wall.
Y = Thickness of closet wall flange.
1/16” = Distance closet is to set away from finished wall.
NOTE:
Bearing nuts and washers must be set to take full loading from the fixture.
