SUFFIX -M17 WATER CLOSET SETTING GAUGE
Water Closet Setting Gauge

Smith’s lightweight cast aluminum water closet setting gauge is available for siphon jet bowls. The gauge has the same dimensions as the rear of the “off the floor” siphon jet bowl and is designed to eliminate costly trial and error test mounting and reduce the number of bowl “lifts” per day. The gauge locates the correct position of bearing washers and nuts, locates the correct protrusion of outlet coupling and support studs and checks the plumb of the wall. When the bowl is lifted, it’s ready to be installed.

Features of the Closet Setting Gauge include:

  1. Leveling pads to check horizontal alignment.
  2. Four openings to check vertical and horizontal stud alignment.
  3. Four extensions to determine stud length.
  4. Vertical plumb line.
  5. Four recesses in back of gauge for positioning of bearing washers.
  6. Opening with coupling setting locations for outlet connection.
Gauge Assists with Proper Installation
Slip gauge over studs and hold tight against wall. Check for plumb and level. Adjust bearing washers and nuts to fit tight against back of gauge. Make necessary adjustments for alignment of studs.
Hold gauge tight against wall and adjust outlet coupling flush with pad corresponding to closet horn depth.
Hold gauge tight against bearing nuts and washers, and mark cut-off point of studs flush with gauge extensions. Remove gauge and cut off studs. Install bowl.
