DIY installer lacks clear, sequential guidance on connecting a flushometer valve to a horizontal supply line with unfamiliar components like straight stop and tailpiece.

Existing resources (forum posts, manufacturer manuals) don't provide a simple, visual step-by-step for non-standard installations like a horizontal supply line, leaving DIYers guessing on component compatibility and assembly order.
