WARNING:
When servicing or replacing components to the
FLUSHMATE Flushometer-Tank
System, make certain that the water supply is turned
OFF
and the toilet is then flushed to
relieve pressure in the vessel.
NEVER
use lubricants on any of the components unless otherwise noted in this manual.
NEVER
use corrosive chemicals or household cleaners on
FLUSHMATE products.
INSTALLATION _______________________________________________________________________________
The Sloan
FLUSHMATE
®
Flushometer -Tank System Fixture installs in the same manner as other water closets. Please follow
the instructions provided by the fixture manufacturer.
Using the gasket, washer and nuts provided with the fixture, assemble the tank to the bowl. Before connecting the supply to
the tank, be sure the supply line is flushed clean. Do this by running water from the supply stop into a bucket until water
flows clear.
After connecting the supply line to the tank, turn on the water again and check for leaks. You may be required to make
adjustments to the actuator for either pushbutton type or trip lever type units. Please follow the instructions provided by the
fixture manufacturer.
TROUBLESHOOTING __________________________________________________________________________
CONDITION:
Water runs on and will not shut off.
A newly installed toilet that does not shut off may be caused by inadequate or low pressure, and is usually the result of an insufficient
water supply flow rate into the FLUSHMATE Vessel. (NOTE: The recommended static pressure range by code is 20 P.S.I. to 125 P.S.I.).
If sufficient supply pressure has been verified and the toilet continues to run, the following steps may be required:
Step 1.
Make sure supply stop is fully open.
Step 2.
Check the Supply Shank Screen for any obstruction that would
restrict the supply.
Step 3.
Check the Actuator adjustment (see Installation Procedure). The
linkage rod or push button should not interfere with the flush.
On Pushbutton type units, loosen the setscrew on the actuator
(See Number 4F on the component list) and rotate the Actuator
up or down until proper clearance is obtained (1/8”). For trip
lever units, gently lift the actuator rod and observe proper
clearance is maintained (approximately 1/8” gap between rod
and actuator) See Figure 1.
Step 4.
Check the Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly for proper
installation. Proceed as follows:
a) Turn off the water supply and flush the toilet.
b) Remove the Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly using pliers’
handles as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
You may be required to
disconnect the Actuator Linkage Rod to remove the Flush
Valve Cartridge Assembly.
c) Inspect the “O” Rings on the Flush Valve Cartridge and the
seating area inside the tank for wear and/or improper seating.
Step 5.
Reinstall the Flush Valve Cartridge Assembly.
First, insert the cartridge into vessel and, while gently pushing
down on the cartridge, turn the cartridge counter-clockwise
until you hear an audible click, indicating that the threads are
now aligned. Screw cartridge clockwise into place until two
black threads of the vessel are showing. Next, turn on the water
and continue to turn cartridge until the water stops running. Do
not over-tighten.
