Condition:
Vacuum Breaker Leaking
If the Vacuum Breaker (E) is leaking, it is likely that the water pressure is insufficient
or that there is insufficient flow due to a plugged inlet screen in the lower Supply
Shank. The recommended static pressure for the 503 Series is between 20 psi and
125 psi and for the 504 Series between 25 and 125 psi.

WINTERIZING
1. Turn off the water supply valve and flush the toilet to relieve the pressure.
2. Place a bucket under the lower Supply Shank (A) and disconnect the water supply
line, allowing the water to drain into the bucket.
3. Push down on the Actuator and pull it up momentarily to allow air into the vessel.
4. Follow the fixture manufacturer’s instructions for winterizing the bowl.
5. Do not put antifreeze or any other chemical agents in the china holding tank or in
the
FLUSHMATE
®
Tank.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
• When replacing components on the

make certain that the water supply valve is turned off and the toilet has been
flushed to relieve pressure in the

®
tank.
• USE OF PETROLEUM-BASED LUBRICANTS OR CORROSIVE CLEANING
PRODUCTS CONTAINING CHLORINE, SUCH AS HOUSEHOLD BLEACH,

• The Flush Valve Cartridge can be removed by inserting the handles of a pair of
pliers into the top of the Flush Valve Cartridge and turning counterclockwise.
