PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Prior to installing the Optima Plus flushometer, install the items listed below as illustrated in the Rough-in Diagram. (New installations only.)

Closet or Urinal fixture
Drain line
Water supply line

Important :

ALL PLUMBING SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WATER SUPPLY LINES MUST BE SIZED TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE VOLUME OF WATER FOR EACH FIXTURE.
WHEN INSTALLING A FLUSHOMETER, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FLUSH MODEL MATCHES THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLUMBING FIXTURE.
FLUSH ALL WATER LINES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTIONS.

The Optima Plus is designed to operate with 15 to 80 PSI (104 to 552 kPa) of water pressure. THE MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIRED TO THE VALVE IS DETERMINED BY THE TYPE OF FIXTURE SELECTED.
Consult fixture manufacturer for pressure requirements.
Most Low Consumption water closets (1.6 gallon/6 liter) require a minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

Slotted screwdriver to adjust control stop.
Sloan A-50 Super-Wrench™, Sloan A-109 Plier Wrench or smooth jawed spud wrench for couplings.
Strap wrench (supplied) to install Optima Plus to valve body.
7/64” hex wrench (supplied) to secure Optima Plus cover to base plate.

VALVE ROUGH-IN

Typical Water Closet Installation
Model 8110/8111 Reference for RESS-C Retrofit

Typical Urinal Installation
Models 8180 & 8186 Reference for RESS-U Retrofit

High Rough-in Water Closet Installation
Models 8113, 8115 & 8116
Model 8115 & 8116 valves are designed for installations where the water supply is roughed-in 24” – 27” (610 mm – 686 mm) above the top of the water closet.
For new installations, Sloan strongly recommends the use of our Model 8111 which has a shorter installation height.

Model	“X”	“Y”
8113	16” (406 mm)	21” (533 mm)
8115	24” (610 mm)	29” (737 mm)
8116	27” (686 mm)	32” (813 mm)

Squat Toilet Water Closet Installation Model 8137

ALTERNATIVE WATER CLOSET INSTALLATION

When installing the Sloan G2 Electronic Flushometer in an ADA compliant stall: Per ADA Guidelines (section 604.9.4) it is recommended that the grab bars be split or shifted to the wide side of the stall. For alternative installations, lower water supply rough-in to 10” (254 mm), or use the H-1018-A 1-1/2” offset adapter (not supplied) to lower the overall height. The Sloan H-1018-A 1” NPT x 1-1/2” offset adapter kit (sold separately) is designed to lower a G2 Flushometer 1-1/2” when the space above the top of the Flushometer conflicts with grab bar clearance. Mount the grab bar at the 36” (914 mm) maximum allowed height (top of grab bar at 36”).

FOR COMPLETE VALVE INSTALLATION START HERE. FOR RESS RETROFIT INSTALLATION, START AT STEP 6. INSTALL OPTIONAL SWEAT SOLDER ADAPTER (ONLY IF YOUR SUPPLY PIPE DOES NOT HAVE A MALE THREAD)

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

The Strap Wrench provided with Optima Plus is a convenience tool and is not to be used to remove or install the Flushometer Couplings. Use Strap Wrench ONLY to install Optima Plus Locking Ring.

C Sweat solder the Adapter to pipe

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
With the exception of Control Stop Inlet, DO NOT use pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any valve component or coupling!

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Protect the chrome or special finish of Sloan Flushometers — DO NOT USE toothed tools to install or service these valves.
Use a Sloan A-50 Super-Wrench™, Sloan A-109 Plier Wrench or smooth jawed spud wrench to secure all couplings. Also see “Care and Cleaning” section of this manual.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
LAWS AND REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF HIGHER FLUSHING VOLUMES THAN LISTED ON FIXTURES OR FLUSHOMETERS.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
This product contains mechanical and/or electrical components that are subject to normal wear. These components should be checked on a regular basis and replaced as needed to maintain the valve’s performance.

INSTALL COVER TUBE, WALL FLANGE AND CONTROL STOP TO SUPPLY PIPE

FLUSH OUT SUPPLY LINE

A Open Control Stop

B Turn on water supply to flush line of any debris or sediment
C Close Control Stop.

INSTALL VACUUM BREAKER FLUSH CONNECTION

NOTE
If cutting Vacuum Breaker Tube to size, note that Critical Line (C/L) on Vacuum Breaker must typically be 6” (152 mm) above fixture. Consult Code for details.

A Slide Spud Coupling, Nylon Slip Gasket, Rubber Gasket and Spud Flange over Vacuum Breaker Tube.
B Insert Tube into Fixture Spud.
C Hand tighten Spud Coupling onto Fixture Spud.

INSTALL FLUSHOMETER

A Lubricate tailpiece O-ring with water. Insert Adjustable Tailpiece into Control Stop. Tighten Tailpiece Coupling by hand.

B Align Flushometer directly above the Vacuum Breaker Flush Connection by sliding the Flushometer Body IN or OUT as needed. Tighten Vacuum Breaker Coupling by hand.

NOTE
Maximum adjustment of the Sloan Adjustable Tailpiece is 1/2” (13 mm) IN or OUT from the standard 4-3/4” (121 mm) (centerline of Flushometer to centerline of Control Stop).

If roughing-in measurement exceeds 5-1/4” (133 mm), consult factory for longer tailpiece.

C Align Flushometer Body and securely tighten first the Tailpiece Coupling (1), then the Vacuum Breaker Coupling (2), and finally the Spud Coupling (3). Use a wrench to tighten these couplings in the order shown.

WHEN RETROFITTING AN EXISTING VALVE, START HERE. REMOVE COMPONENTS FROM EXISTING FLUSHOMETER (RESS RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS ONLY)

A Remove Control Stop Cap.
B Turn off water supply at Control Stop. Push Valve Handle to relieve water pressure.
C Remove Outside and Inside Covers and old Inside Parts Kit.
D Remove old Handle Assembly and Gasket.
E Install Chrome Handle Cap with Gasket to handle opening on Flushometer Body. Tighten Chrome Handle Cap securely.

NOTE
An extra H-553 Tail O-ring is included in the event leakage occurs if the valve is repositioned during the installation of the new Optima Plus.
USE ONLY AS NEEDED.

G2/ECOS FLUSH VOLUME

The Flush Volume of the G2/ECOS is controlled by the Regulator in the Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit. Regulators are identified by color.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
LAWS AND REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF HIGHER FLUSHING VOLUMES THAN LISTED ON FIXTURES OR FLUSHOMETERS.

ASSEMBLE FLEX TUBE DIAPHRAGM TO G2/ECOS ASSEMBLY

NOTE
Sensor Lens must face directly forward. Rotating the Sensor to either side will decrease the Sensor’s ability to detect a target.

TIGHTEN LOCKING RING

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The Locking Ring must be installed down past the valve body threads by at least one thread. If difficulty is experienced installing the Locking Ring, turn the Locking Ring back and forth, each time working it further down the threads. The Locking Ring will act as a thread chaser in the event there has been a build-up of matter on the threads of the old valve body.

If retrofitting the Optima Plus onto a †Zurn valve body, a special Locking Ring must be used (identified by a machined groove around the ring).
Order the Optima Plus with the “Z” variation to receive the unit supplied with this Ring.

REMOVE TAB TO ACTIVATE SENSOR MODULE

A Remove all removable objects in sensor view area and remove the Tab located over the Override Button to activate the Sensor Module. The sensor module will perform the start-up routine for one minute with LED blinking.
B After the start-up routine is complete, for the first ten (10) minutes of operation, a Visible LED Light flashes in the Sensing Window of the Optima Plus Flushometer when a user is detected.

NOTE
The start-up routine will be 1 minute long and allows the sensors to adapt to the surrounding environment. It is VERY IMPORTANT that no non-permanent targets (i.e. persons, buckets, covers, etc) are present at this time. The start-up routine consists of a long (3 seconds) LED light ON, followed by slow LED light blinking in for 1 minute. At the end of the routine the sensor will show ONE long (2 seconds) LED light ON for lithium battery or TWO long (2 seconds each) LED light ON pulses for alkaline to complete the routine. Only at this time can the non-permanent objects be present.

TEST SENSOR OPERATION

The G2/ECOS has a factory set sensing range:
Water Closet Models – 22” to 42” (559 mm to 1067 mm) Urinal Models – 15” to 30” (381 mm to 762 mm) The factory setting should be satisfactory for most installations. If a range adjustment is required, refer to the Range Adjustment instructions on this page.

A Test Sensor with Cover in Place.
B Step away from Sensor and listen for “CLICK.”
C Step away from Sensor and listen for “CLICK.”
*16 seconds-BT Water Closet Models

ADJUST CONTROL STOP AND INSTALL VANDAL RESISTANT STOP CAP

A Open Control Stop COUNTERCLOCKWISE ½ turn from closed position.
B Activate Flushometer by placing hand in front of Optima Plus Sensor Lens for ten (10) seconds (or press override button) and then moving it away.

C Adjust Control Stop after each flush until the rate of flow delivered properly cleanses the fixture.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The 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 plumbing fixture is cleansed after each flush without splashing water out from the lip AND a quiet flushing cycle is achieved.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The Control Stop should never be opened to the point where the flow from the valve 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.
D Install Control Stop Cap onto Control Stop. For RESS retrofit applications, reuse Stop Cap from existing valve. In complete valve installations, a new Stop Cap is provided.
For G2 models, follow the instructions packaged with the Free Spinning Vandal Resistant Stop Cap.

OPERATION

A continuous, INVISIBLE light beam is emitted from the G2/ ECOS Sensor.
After the user enters the beam’s effective range for 8-16 seconds, (22 to 42 inches (559 mm to 1067 mm) for closet installations and 15 to 30 inches (381 mm to 762 mm) for urinal installations), the beam is reflected into the Scanner Window to activate the Output Circuit. Once activated, the Output Circuit continues in a “hold” mode for as long as the user remains within the effective range of the sensor.
When the user steps away, the loss of reflected light initiates an electrical “one-time” signal that activates the flushing cycle to flush the fixture (1 second for urinal, 3 seconds for closet). The Circuit automatically resets and is ready for the next user.

RANGE ADJUSTMENT (ADJUST ONLY IF NECESSARY)

The G2/ECOS has a factory set sensing range:
Water Closet Models – 22” to 42” (559 mm to 1067 mm)
Urinal Models – 15” to 30” (381 mm to 762 mm)
The Factory setting should be satisfactory for most installations.
If the range is too short (i.e., not picking up users) or too long (i.e., picking up opposite wall or stall door) the range can be adjusted.
Note : Water does not have to be turned off to adjust range.

Make sure to remove all the non-permanent targets in sensor view area.
Push manual override button for 20-30 seconds. the LED in the G2 sensor starts slow blinking. Release the button during the LED blinking.
(For BT models, press manual override again for 20-30 seconds).The G2 will enter into distance setting mode. The setting mode will run for one minute.
