Step 4 - Flush Out Supply Line (Figure 7)
Shut off Control Stop and remove Flushometer Cover. Lift out the Piston
Assembly. Install Flushometer Cover wrench tight and open Control Stop. Turn
on water supply to flush line of any debris or sediment.
After completion, shut off Control Stop, remove Flushometer Cover and reinstall
Piston Assembly. Install Flushometer Cover wrench tight. Open Control Stop and
activate Flushometer Valve.
Step 5 - Adjust Control Stop (Figure 8)
Adjust Control Stop to meet the flow rate required for the proper cleansing of the
fixture. Open Control Stop COUNTERCLOCKWISE l/2 turn from the closed
position. Activate Flushometer. Adjust Control Stop after each flush until the rate
of flow delivered properly cleanses the fixture.
Step 6 - Volume Adjustment (Figure 9)
The Sloan Naval Flushometer can be adjusted to meet the flushing requirements
of any plumbing fixture. The flush volume (gallons per flush) may be increased
or decreased by turning the adjustment screw located beneath the hex nut in the
center of the cover.
CLOCKWISE reduces flush volume
COUNTERCLOCKWISE increases flush volume
ADJUSTMENT RANGE:
Urinal:
0.5 to 3 gpf (1.9 to 11.4 Lpf)
Closet:
1.5 to 7 gpf (5.7 to 26.5 Lpf)
Important: Many local plumbing codes prohibit adjustable Flushometers. For
these applications, the Naval Flushometer can be supplied in a non-adjustable
style.
Important: The Sloan NAVAL Flushometer is engineered for quiet operation.
Excessive water flow creates noise, while too little water flow may not satisfy the
needs of the fixture. Proper adjustment is made when:
1. The plumbing fixture is cleansed after each flush without splashing water out
from the lip.
2. A quiet flushing cycle is achieved.
After adjustment: Wrench Tighten Control Stop Cap to Eliminate Vandalism.
CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES
DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean Flushometers as they may
dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative finishes. Use ONLY
soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the Flushometer should be protected from any
splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome
plating.
