Transformer Installation
Install Transformer (EL-154) on a 2-Gang Electrical Box, 4” x 4” x 2-1/2”
(102 mm x 102 mm x 64 mm) in a convenient location; refer to the
illustration at upper right side of this page.
Note: One Sloan EL-154 transformer can operate up
to ten OPTIMA equipped Flushometers. Run 18-gauge
wire from transformer to Flushometer(s). Wire supplied
by others. DO NOT supply power to transformer until
installation of Flushometer is complete.
Note: A maximum of ten (10) Flushometer units can
operate from one (1) Sloan EL-154 Transformer, Class 2,
UL Listed, 50 VA (min.) at 24 VAC, plate mounted.
Sensor Box Location
Failure to properly position the sensor to the plumbing rough-in will result
in improper installation and impair product performance. All tradesmen
(plumbers, electricians, tile setters, etc.) involved with the installation of this
product must coordinate their work to assure proper product installation.

mm) for transformer; see paragraph entitled “Transformer Installation”
(mount in a convenient location)
• Electrical wiring to the transformer box (120 VAC, 2 amp service
required for each EL-154, 24 VAC, 50 VA transformer used)
• Closet/urinal fixture
• Drain line
• Water supply line
Important:
• INSTALL ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NATIONAL/LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
• INSTALL ALL PLUMBING IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS.
• WATER SUPPLY LINES MUST BE SIZED TO PROVIDE
AN ADEQUATE VOLUME OF WATER FOR EACH
FIXTURE.
• A 24 VAC STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER MUST BE
USED.
• USE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHILE
CONNECTING TRANSFORMER TO 120 VAC POWER
SOURCE.
• FLUSH ALL WATER LINES PRIOR TO MAKING

Flushometers are designed to operate with 15
to 100 psi (104 to 689 kPa) of water pressure.
THE MINIMUM
PRESSURE REQUIRED TO THE VALVE IS DETERMINED
BY THE TYPE OF FIXTURE SELECTED.
Consult fixture
manufacturer for minimum pressure requirements.
Most Low Consumption water closets (1.6 gallon/6.0 liter) require a
minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).
Protect the Chrome or Special finish of this Flushometer —
DO NOT
USE TOOTHED TOOLS TO INSTALL OR SERVICE THE
VALVE
. Also, see “Care and Cleaning” section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: EXCEPT FOR CONTROL STOP INLET, DO
NOT USE PIPE SEALANT OR PLUMBING GREASE ON
ANY VALVE COMPONENT OR COUPLING!
With the exception of Control Stop Inlet, DO NOT use pipe sealant or plumbing grease
on any valve component or coupling!

exceeds the flow capability of the fixture. In the event of
a valve failure, the fixture must be able to accommodate a
continuous flow from the valve.
