20. Mount the supply and discharge lines to the toilet with the seals provided and slip the toilet bowl into position over the mounting studs. Snug up the nuts, being careful not to overtighten and crack the porcelain.

21. Install the faucets and tailpiece in the sink before mounting. Mark the mounting holes on the wall and drill 5/16-in. holes through the tile and cement board and 1/4-in. holes into the backer boards. Screw the hanger bolts through the tile into the wood using the cap screw to drive the bolt . Slip the sink over the screws and snug down the nut.
