Sweat Solder Adapter Installation

NOTE: Before installation, turn off water supplies to existing fixture and remove flushometer if replacing an existing device.

1. Measure distance from finished wall to the center line of the fixture spud. If necessary, cut water supply pipe 1-1/4” shorter than this measurement. Deburr by chamfering O.D. and I.D of end of water supply pipe.
2. Slide threaded sweat solder adapter onto water supply pipe until shoulder stops on end of pipe. Then sweat-solder the adapter to water supply pipe.
3. Measure distance from finished wall to first thread of sweat solder adapter. If necessary, cut chrome cover tube this length.
4. Slide wall escutcheon over chrome cover tube and slide both items over water supply pipe. Press wall escutcheon flush against finished wall and tighten set screw with hex wrench (supplied) to secure it in place.

Control Stop Installation

1. Install control stop assembly by threading it onto water supply pipe and tightening with a smooth jawed wrench. Apply thread sealing compound or pipe tape to male NPT thread on sweat solder adapter only.
   Prior to turning on main water supply line ensure all stop valves are closed off tight by using a flathead screwdriver and turning the stop valve adjustment screw clockwise.

2. When all stop valves are properly connected to the water supply line and water pressure is available, open the control stop using a flat head screwdriver and turning the stop valve adjustment screw counterclockwise.
   Allow the water supply line to flush any debris or sediment that may be present in the line. Close the control stop once the lines are completely flushed.

Flush Valve Installation

Prior to attaching flush valve tailpiece to control stop, inspect and verify that the O-ring seal is located within the O-ring groove at the tailpiece. Ensure that the locking nut and locking snap ring are also present on the tailpiece.
Lubricate O-ring with water if necessary and insert flush valve tailpiece into the control stop valve. Tighten locking nut using a smooth jawed wrench.

Vacuum Breaker & Flush Connection Installation

Determine the length of vacuum breaker tube required to join the flush valve and fixture spud, and cut if necessary. Slide the tube nut, spud nut, slip gasket, rubber gasket and spud escutcheon over the vacuum breaker tube and insert tube into fixture spud. Hand tighten tube nut to valve body and hand tighten spud nut onto fixture spud. Adjust the valve assembly for plumb. Tighten fixture spud nut, vacuum breaker tube nut and locking nut with a wrench. Adjust and plumb the valve assembly. Tighten all connections with smooth jawed wrench and turn on water supply at the control stop.

DO NOT cut vacuum breaker tube shorter than 6” below the -C-L- indicator mark, as vacuum breaker must be 6” above the fixture. Consult plumbing Codes & Regulations for specific details.

E-Z Flush Installation

Place the supplied valve gasket onto the unit as shown. Use one hand to raise the unit to the handle port of the flush valve and use the other hand to rotate the unit’s valve nut to begin engaging the threads of the valve body. Use the supplied wrench to tighten the E-Z Flush unit securely to the valve body.

Flushing the System

When all flush valves are connected to the fixtures and water pressure is available, it is recommended that the supply piping be flushed to remove dirt, pipe chips, etc., from system.

Use the following procedure to flush out the supply piping:

1. Remove the main valve body cover.
2. Remove the working parts from the flush valve shown on the right
3. Replace the plastic cover and main body cover without reinstall-ing the working parts.
4. Open the stop valve by using the stop adjusting screw and flush out all debris from pipe and connections.
5. Shut stop, open cover, reinstall the working parts, replace both covers and tighten.

This procedure should also be repeated when the system is drained for seasonal use, as occurs in athletic fields, recreation parks, etc. The ZER flush valves are preset for fixture volume as marked on the valve cartons. The valve does not require regulation for variation in water pressure within its operating range. To set the flush valve for proper operation, gradually adjust the stop valve open, using the adjusting screw, while actuating the valve until the rate of water flow into the fixture is not excessive, yet is sufficient to adequately evacuate the waste. The final setting for urinals should be such that the fixture will not overflow when the valve is actuated in succession. The stop cap screw cover should be replaced after final adjustments have been made.

E-Z Flush Activation

Using supplied hex key, remove battery compartment from the E-Z Flush unit. Load the supplied batteries into the battery tray. Note the battery orientation shown. Reinstall the battery tray into the E-Z Flush unit using the hex key. The user LED will blink when the unit becomes powered.

Notes:

• Your E-Z Flush unit comes preset from the factory. If special circumstances require adjustment of the activation distance, see section of this manual “Adjusting Calibration Distance”.
• Each E-Z Flush comes with a 24-hour flush mode that is disabled by default. To toggle this mode, see the section of this manual entitled “Toggling 24-Hour Flush Mode”.

Adjusting Calibration Distance

Each E-Z Flush comes calibrated from the factory to work optimally in most restroom environments. In low light or highly reflective environments however, it may be necessary to adjust the calibration distance of an E-Z Flush unit. To do this, a Zurn Magic Magnet may be used. To re-calibrate an E-Z Flush with a Magic Magnet, follow the procedure below: comes calibrated from the factory.

To re-calibrate for a specific environment, follow these steps:

1. Stand at the desired calibration distance:
   • ~28” from the sensor in a water closet application.
   • ~22” from the sensor in a urinal application.
2. Raise the Magic Magnet to the top/bottom (depending on valve orientation – refer to image below) of the unit’s lens until the user LED lights up.
3. Hold the Magic Magnet in that position until the user LED begins to blink. Remove the magnet and allow the user LED to blink 10 times while standing in the same position. A quick double-blink signals that the calibration is complete.
4. Test the new calibration distance by walking away from the unit for 5 seconds and returning to the position at which it was calibrated. Watch for the user LED to blink. If the user LED blinks, the calibration distance has been reset successfully.

Note: In water closet applications, it is a good idea to make sure that the new calibration distance does not allow the sensor to see the stall door. To check this, exit the stall and close the stall door for 10 seconds. Open the stall door. If the unit does not flush, the calibration distance is okay. If the unit flushes, you will need to recalibrate to a closer distance.

Toggling 24-Hour Flush Mode

Each E-Z Flush comes with a 24-hour auto-flush feature that is disabled by default. This feature is intended for low-use applications where trap seal depletion is a concern.

To toggle this feature, follow the procedure below:

1. Raise a Magic Magnet to the top/bottom (depending on valve orientation – refer to image above) until the user LED lights up.
2. Lower the magnet so that the user LED turns off.
3. Repeat this turn on / turn off procedure three more times.
4. After the fourth time, the user LED will display a series of rapid blinks. Three blinks signifies that the feature has been toggled on. Six blinks signifies that the feature has been toggled off.
