1 Water Closet SUPPORTSTECHNICAL DATACUSTOMER DRIVENSMITH Smith engineers have developed an unusually complete line of fixture Supports formounting all types of "off the floor" fixtures. Supports have been designed for waterclosets, urinals, lavatories, sinks, drinking fountains and many special purposehospital, institutional and industrial plumbing which are wall mounted and have no external contact with the finished floorare classified as "off the floor plumbing fixtures." Fixtures so mounted are supportedon concealed cast iron or steel Supports (carriers). These Supports are completelyconcealed in the wall, and support the load of the fixture by means of a suitable faceplate and base support which is firmly anchored to the floor. Thus the load of the fixtureis effectively taken off the wall and transmitted to the Closet support SYSTEMSBy incorporating a waste fitting which functions in conjunction with the support section,an entire system of "Combined Fixture Supports and Waste Fittings" has beendeveloped.

2 Thus, when mounting "off the floor" Water closets, a complete unit isavailable which Supports the fixture and includes a fitting which will tie into the drainagepiping system. Fittings are available in vertical and horizontal patterns. Used incombinations, these fittings can satisfy waste and vent requirements of most engineers have worked closely with plumbing designers, contractors and codeofficials to develop a system which meets their rigid demands and attention was given in design so that--- the engineer can select Supports with fittings to meet allproblems created by architectural, structural, code oresthetic requirements. the plumbing contractor can easily and economically install arigid and code approved support with fitting, which willfunction for the lifetime of the building. the code official is assured that fittings used with supportsare designed to meet code requirements relative to theproper sizing for drainage piping and OF "OFF THE FLOOR" Water CLOSETS OVER FLOOR MOUNTEDD esign--The complete line of fittings available offers great latitude to architects andengineers when laying out the spacing, piping diagrams and wall space requirementsfor plumbing fixtures.

3 The Smith system offers the engineer an option of designing aplumbing drainage system which is compact, yet extremely functional. The architectis assured that the system uses a minimum of floor space, with all the necessarycomponents the floor Water Closet systems can be installed more economicallythan conventional floor mounted systems. This comparison is particularly obvious inmulti-story buildings which have batteries of Water closets on each floor. Thecontractor is assured a simple, fast and efficient installation. Off the floor systemsreduce costs for the following reasons:1. Less sleeving. In most cases only one sleeve is required to takecare of the vertical inlet fitting at the start of the horizontal Since all the roughing is done on the floor and not in the ceilingbelow, no scaffolding, ladders or similar Supports are required(Fig.)

The installer works on the floor (Fig. 2) and not in the ceilingbelow; thus, time is saved since working conditions are Because all the rough-in piping is on the floor above, "droppedceilings" are not required; thus, ceiling space is saved. Thisenables building ceiling height to be lower, effectively savingoverall construction 1 INSTALLING piping FOR FLOOR MOUNTED FIXTURESFig. 2 INSTALLING piping FOR "OFF THE FLOOR" FIXTURESS anitation--After the building is turned over to the owners, cost for cleaning in thearea under the "off the floor" Water closets is considerably less than in similar areaswhich have floor mounted fixtures. A mop is easily passed under off the floor fixturesthoroughly cleaning the floor beneath as compared to the very difficult task ofcleaning around and in back of floor mounted Water closets.

5 Cleaning costs arereduced, and the toilet room is maintained in a more sanitary siphon jet bowl is the most common because its action is relatively silent andeconomical in Water usage. It operates by a jet of Water directed through thetrapway which quickly fills and starts the siphonic action immediately upon quiet action and large Water surface, among other features, make it the mostdesirable bowl type. It is readily distinguished by the four bolt holes which receivethe fixture support blowout bowl is particularly adapted for public use as in airports, stadiums orplant washrooms. Its action is a driving one of high velocity. It is economical inwater use and has a large Water area and an unrestricted trapway. It is also morenoisy than the siphon jet bowl because of its direct jet action. The blowout bowl issecured to the Supports by three of horizontal fittings with adjustable Closet Supports used in conjunction witha vertical of horizontal fittings with adjustable Closet Supports connected to a JETBLOWOUTTYPICAL BATTERY INSTALLATIONSSUFFIX -M17 Water Closet SETTING GAUGETYPES OF Water CLOSETSThe architects construction design and physical layout of the toilet room dictates the type of fittings that can be selected by the engineer for battery installations.

The gauge has the same dimensions as therear 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 andsupport studs and checks the plumb of the wall. When the bowl is lifted, it's ready to be of the Closet Setting Gauge include:1. Leveling pads to check horizontal Four openings to check vertical and horizontal stud Four extensions to determine stud Vertical plumb Four recesses in back of gauge for positioning of bearing Opening with coupling setting locations for outlet gauge over studs and hold tight against for plumb and level.

To determineleft or right hand fitting, face the stack from the fixture side of the wall. If the inlet is tothe left of the stack, it is a left hand fitting.

8 If the inlet is on the right of the stack, it is aright hand fitting. The vent is always located on the same side as the inlet on a singleinlet stack fitting.

This vent can be located on the right side when vertical adjustable fittings with side inlet are regularly furnished with 2" vent onthe same side as the inlet. The vent can be located on the side opposite the sideinlet when vertical adjustable fittings can be supplied with either a -N15 (1 1/2") or -N2 (2")tapped inlet, either side. To indicate auxiliary connection, add Suffix -N to the figurenumber and specify location and size desired. The auxiliary inlet is ideal for receivingwaste from lavatories, urinals, etc., where local code will permit. When using soilpipe, the female iron pipe thread can be converted to hub with Smith Fig.
