Installation & Maintenance Instructions

Prior To Installation
Before installing the flushometer, be sure
the following items are properly installed:
• Urinal fixture
• Drain line
• Water supply line
Tools Required for Installation
• Slotted screwdriver
• Standard box wrenches
• Smooth jawed adjustable wrench or
Chicago Faucet Quaturn wrench.
Water Pressure and Volume
Geberit valves require a minimum operating pressure of 10 psi while flushing. All
plumbing fixtures demand at least 10 psi,
so if this minimum requirement is met, the
valve should function properly.
In addition to pressure, volume requirements must be met to secure an adequate
syphon. Most toilets require a
minimum flow rate of 30 gpm. The lower
the pressure, the larger the piping must be
to supply the minimum flow.
Geberit valves are designed to operate at
water pressure up to 100 psi. Ideally , pressures should range between 30-60 psi. At
pressures of 80 psi and above, we recommend the use of pressure reducing valves
in supply lines. At higher pressures,
splashing is inevitable, noise is increased
and the life span of all plumbing brass is
reduced.
It is recommended that air chambers
and/or water hammer arrestors be
installed with flush valves. They should be
installed as close to the fixture as possible.
Air chambers are helpful in supplying a
reservoir of water in the event of sudden
pressure drops.
Chrome Plating
If installation is into new construction, we
recommend protecting all chrome surfaces from acid or cleaning fluid that can
discolor chrome, until the building is occupied. This will help to protect the surface
from damage.
Do not use serrated-jaw wrenches
on chrome surfaces. Use a smoothjawed adjustable wrench or Chicago
Faucet Quaturn wrench.

IMPORTANT! Installations may be performed at different times of construction by different individuals. For this
reason, these instructions should be

Safety Information
• Read this entire instruction sheet to
ensure proper installation.
• Compliance and conformity to local
codes and ordinances is the
responsibility of the installer.
Flush all the water supply lines
before making connections.
CAUTION indicates a practice or
condition that MAY result in damage to
the equipment if the instruction or
