Installation
The Add-a-Jon can be installed as a free-standing unit or
can be enclosed.
1. Determine the location of the Add-a-Jon. Make sure
you will have access to the existing discharge and
vent lines. Make the necessary measurements, and
determine the necessary fittings and piping that are
required. Be sure to observe all local plumbing codes.
2. Put the tank in position. It must be level to within 1/8"
over its entire length. Make sure that nails, screws, or
other sharp objects do not puncture the tank.
3. For an enclosed installation, the flat portion of the
tank is 5-3/8" high, so it will fit between 2" x 6" floor
joists. Note that you will need to cut one joist (with
16" centers) and put headers in to accommodate the
24-1/4" width of the tank.
NOTE: A floor-flange-extender seal kit (purchase
separately) must be used for this type of under-floor
installation .
4. Set the pump in the pump chamber with the discharge
toward the right back corner as viewed from the toilet
opening (see Figure 2). Line up the pump discharge
with the 3" hole in the tank lid, then swing the pump
so that the vertical float switch is shielded (from solids)
as much as possible by the baffle in the tank between
the toilet mounting hole and the pump chamber (see
Figure 2). Shim the pump as required to make it
steady in the pump chamber.

5. Apply the foam gasket (see Exploded View, Page 10,
Key No. 5) to the flange of the pump chamber. For
best results, overlap the ends of the gasket about 1/2".
6. Place the pipe grommet in the 3" hole in the pump
chamber lid; this is the discharge seal. See Figure 3 for
correct orientation.

7. Lubricate the pipe grommet with soapy water and
push the discharge pipe (2" x 32") through it.
8. Install the lid on the tank as follows.
A. Push the 2" discharge pipe down until approxi-
mately 16" projects down through the lid.
B. Glue on the adapter.
C. Pull the pump and switch power cords up out of
the pump chamber and hang them over the edge
of the chamber.
D. Screw the threaded adapter into the pump dis-
charge by rotating the lid assembly until it is hand
tight.
E. Thread the pump and switch power cords up
through the 2-1/2" hole in the lid.
F. Insert the cords into the split cord grommet (see
Exploded View, Page 10, Key No. 3), making sure
that the cord grommet is right side up (see Figure
3) and outside the pump chamber. Leave yourself
some slack in the cord.

G. Push the lid down into position on the pump
chamber. Start bolts in the four corners of the lid to
keep it in position on the pump chamber.
H. Tighten the discharge pipe into the pump discharge
with a strap wrench. Do not press the cord grom-
met into the lid yet.
I. Install and tighten all lid bolts with a 7/16" wrench
(see Exploded view, Page 10, Key Nos. 6, 7).
J. Press the cord grommet into the lid.
