Caroma Caravelle Smart Button, the Cadillac of Dual-Flush Toilets
The Caroma Caravelle Smart 2-Piece (Button) Dual-Flush Toilet is a cutting-edge bathroom fixture that combines water efficiency, modern design, and superior performance. Here are the key features that set this model apart:
Advanced Flushing Technology: Washdown System: The Caravelle Smart 2-Piece (Button) utilizes a gravity-assisted washdown technology. This system forcefully propels waste down the drain before introducing water, contrasting with conventional siphonic toilets. The result is a dramatic reduction in clogs throughout the entire plumbing system.
Clog-Resistant Design: Engineered for maximum efficiency, this toilet features a trapway that's more than twice the size of standard models. The shorter, wider design makes clogging virtually impossible, ensuring consistent performance.
Installation and Maintenance
Smart Connect System: This patented installation method for skirted bowls offers unparalleled flexibility. The system's offset adapter can be adjusted to accommodate rough-ins from 10" to 12" or any measurement in between, simplifying installation in various bathroom configurations.
Smart Glaze Technology: The toilet's vitreous china surface is treated with advanced nanotechnology. This Smart Glaze repels liquids and oils while inhibiting germ growth, making the fixture easier to clean and maintain over time.
Comfort and Compliance: The Caroma Caravelle Smart 2-Piece (Button) Dual-Flush Toilet provides exceptional comfort while meeting ADA requirements. Its ergonomic design and convenient top-mounted dual-flush buttons offer ease of use for a wide range of users.

This toilet exemplifies Caroma's commitment to combining water conservation with superior performance, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious consumers who don't want to sacrifice quality or comfort.
How to Inspect Your Fragile Toilet Before Signing Off On It
Before you sign off on your toilet and accept it as is, open every box, remove each piece, and thoroughly inspect all sides of the bowl and tank for any major or minor fractures in the porcelain. If you see any damage, reject the damaged pieces and keep the undamaged pieces.
Write on the Bill of Lading (BOL) that you are rejecting it because the rejected piece(s) arrived broken. If possible, take photos of the broken pieces.
Keep a copy, or take a photo of the BOL for your records before you sign it.
Email the photos of the BOL and broken pieces to Eco Building Products. This will enable us to file a claim with the carrier to cover the cost of replacing the broken pieces, as well as the shipping cost.
Notify us at Eco-Building Products as soon as you reject the pieces so we can file the claim with the carrier and ship replacements for the damaged pieces.
**If, on the rare chance, the driver will not wait for you to conduct a thorough inspection, either reject the whole order and have the carrier return with a more cooperative driver, or write in the BOL that "driver did not allow for thorough and complete inspection upon acceptance of delivery".
Please email or call if you have any questions.
Installation Guidelines
-
Two-Piece Installation: As a two-piece model, the bowl and tank are installed separately:
-
Bowl Installation: Secure the bowl to the floor first, using the Smart Connect system.
-
Tank Mounting: Attach the tank to the bowl following Caroma's specific instructions for proper alignment and seal.
-
Floor Mounting: The toilet requires secure floor mounting. Ensure the floor is level and stable for optimal performance.
-
Water Supply: Connect the toilet to a standard water supply line. The Caravelle Smart is compatible with typical household water pressure.
-
Wax Ring and Bolts: Use a high-quality wax ring and appropriate floor bolts for a secure, leak-free installation. The Smart Connect system may require a specific installation kit from Caroma.
-
Clearance: Provide sufficient space around the toilet for comfortable use and easy maintenance. Adhere to local building codes for minimum clearance requirements.
-
Leveling: Proper leveling is essential for optimal flushing performance. Use shims if necessary to ensure the bowl sits perfectly level on the floor.
-
Button Mechanism: The dual-flush button mechanism is pre-installed in the tank lid. Ensure it's properly connected to the flush valve during tank installation.
Remember to consult Caroma's detailed installation manual and consider professional installation if you're unsure about any steps. Correct installation is crucial for maximizing the toilet's performance and water efficiency.
