PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Before you install the Regal XL flushometer, be sure the items listed below are installed. Also, refer to the rough-in diagrams on the next page.

Closet or urinal fixture
.Drain line
Water supply line

IMPORTANT:
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.
FLUSH ALL WATER LINES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTIONS.

Sloan’s flushometers are designed to operate with 10 to 100 psi (69 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 gpf/6.0 Lpr) require a minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

  • Straight blade screwdriver
  • Sloan A-50 Super-Wrench TM, Sloan A-109 Plier Wrench or smooth jawed spud wrench

SLOAN 3301038 3.5 GPF General Repair Kit-2

  1. Control Stop is available with Whitworth Thread

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • When mounted on an ADA accessible bowl, the rough-in to the supply inlet should be no higher than 372″ or the handle will exceed maximum height allowances under ADA guidelines.
  • New ADAAG Guidelines allow toT Split or Offset Grab Bars, check with local authorities or reference section 604.5.2 of ADAAG.

!! IMPORTANT !

  • WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CONTROL STOP INLET, DO NOT USE PIPE SEALANT OR PLUMBING GREASE ON ANY VALVE COMPONENT OR COUPLING!

  • 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.
  • NEVER OPEN CONTROL STOP TO 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.
  • LAWS AND REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF HIGHER FLUSHING VOLUMES THAN LISTED ON FIXTURE OR FLUSHOMETER.

INSTALL SWEAT sOLDER ADAPTER (ONLY IF YOUR SUPPLY PIPE DOES NOT HAVE A MALE THREAD)

F. Insert Tube into Fixture Spud.
G.  Hand tighten Spud Coupling onto Fixture Spud.

INSTALL FLUSHOMETER AND HANDLE ASSEMBLY

NOTE
For high efficiency urinal flushometers (0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 gpf), it is necessary to first insert the flow control component into the tailpiece assembly. See the H1015A flow control kit and separate instructions for details on how to install.

A. Lubricate tailpiece 0-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. Using a wrench, securely tighten couplings in the order given: (1) Tailpiece Coupling, (2) Vacuum Breaker Coupling and (3) Spud Coupling.

C. Adjust control stop after each flush until the rate of flow delivered properly cleanses the fixture.

IMPORTANT!
Sloan’s flushometers are 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 the plumbing fixture is cleansed after each flush without splashing water out from the lip AND a quiet flushing cycle is achieved.
Never open Control Stop to 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. I nstall plug into the control stop by pressing into the bonnet.

CARE AND CLEANING

DO NOT USE abrasive or chemical cleaners (including chlorine bleach) to clean Flushometers that may dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative inishes. Use ONLY MIld soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, protect the Flushometer from any splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids will discolor or remove chrome plating.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

  1. Flushometer does not function (no flush).
    A. Control stop or main valve is closed. Open control stop or main valve.
    B. Handle assembly is damaged. Replace handle (B-32-A or B-73-A) or install handle repair kit (B-50-A).
    C. Relief valve is damaged. Replace inside parts kit.

  2. Volume of water is not sufficient to siphon fixture.
    A. Control stop is not open wide enough. Adjust control stop for desired delivery of water volume.
    B. Urinal flushometer parts inside a closet flushometer. Replace inside urinal parts with proper closet fiushometer parts.
    C. Low consumption flushometer installed on a non-low consumption fixture. Replace A-41-A inside parts kit with A-38-A water saver kit.
    D. Water saver kit installed in old, non-water saver bowl. Position refill head A-170 so that SIDE 1 is in the UP position.
    E. Inadequate volume or pressure at supply.

    • If no gauges are available to properly measure supply pressure or volume of water at the flushometer, then remove the relief valve from the inside parts kit, reassemble the flushometer and open the control stop. If the fixture siphons, more water volume is required. If a 3.5 gpf inside parts kit is installed in the flushometer, then first flip the refill head (under the dliaphragm) to obtain a 4.5 gpf volume. If this volume is still inadequate, remove the flow ring from the guide to obtain a 6.5 gpf kit. If additional flow is still required, try a low pressure guide kit A-175-A (#0301104). IMPORTANT- LAWS AND REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF HIGHER FLUSHING VOLUMES THAN LISTED ON FIXTURE OR FLUSHOMETER.
    • If fixture does not siphon or if a loW consumption fixture is installed, or if the above steps do not prove satisfactory, steps must be taken to increase the pressure and/or supply.
  3. Flushometer closes off immediately.
    A. Damaged diaphragm. Replace inside parts kit to correct problem.
    B. Enlarged by-pass orifice from corrosion or damage. Install inside parts kit to correct problem and update flushometer

  4. Length of flush is too short (short flush).
    A. Diaphragm assembly and guide assembly are not hand-tight. Screw the two assemblies hand-tight.
    B. Enlarged by-pass orifice from corrosion or damage. Install NEW Inside parts kit to correct problem and update flushometer
    C. A-19-AU (Black) urinal relief valve in closet flushometer. Replace relief valve with A-19-AC (White) closet relief valve.
    D. A-41-A low consumption kit installed in non-low consumption fixture.
    Replace with proper Inside Parts Kit.
    E. Handle assembly is damaged. Replace handle (B-32-A or B-73-A) or install handle repair kit (B-50-A).

  5. Length of flush is too long (long flushing) or fails to close off.
    A. Relief valve (A-19-A) is not seating properly or by-pass orifice is clogged because of foreign material, or by-pass orifice is closed by an invisible gelatinous film from “over-treated” water. Disassemble the working parts and wash thoroughly.
    NOTE: SIZE OF THE ORIFICE IN THE BY-PASS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE PROPER METERING OF WATER INTO THE UPPER CHAMBER OF THE FLUSHOMETER. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. REPLACE INSIDE KIT IF CLEANING DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM.
    B. Line pressure has dropped and is not sufficient to force Relief Valve to seat. Shut off all control stops until pressure has been restored, then open them again.
    C. A-19-AC (White) closet Relief Valve has been used in a 1 or 1% gpf Urinal. Replace with A-19-AU (Black) Relief Valve.
    D. Inside cover is cracked or damaged. Replace the Inside Cover (A-71).

  6. Chattering noise is heard during flush.
    A. Inside Cover is damaged. Replace lInside Cover (A-71).
    B. A-156-A Segment diaphragm has been installed upside-down. Rep0sition the Segment diaphragm properly (see markings on the Diaphragm).

  7. Handle Leaks.
    A. B-39 Handle Seal is worn or damaged. Install new B-39 Seal.
    NOTE: The B-39 Seal wll easily slide onto the B-40 Bushing when wet.
    B. Handle gasket has been omitted. Install Handle gasket (A-31) or Sloan handle repair kit (B-50-A).
