PRIOR TO FLUSHOMETER INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the Sloan OPTIMA equipped Flushometer, install the items
listed below. Refer to Rough-ins on Page 1 and illustrations on this page.
• 2-gang electrical box — 4" x 4" x 2-1/2" (102 mm x 102 mm x 64 mm)
for sensor; see paragraph entitled "Sensor/Solenoid Operator Box
Locations"
• 2-gang electrical box — 4" x 4" x 2-1/2" (102 mm x 102 mm x 64 mm)
for transformer; see paragraph entitled “Transformer Installation” (mount
in a convenient location)
• 2-gang electrical box — 4" x 4" x 2-1/2" (102 mm x 102 mm x 64 mm)
for solenoid operator, see paragraph entitled "Sensor/Solenoid Operator
Box Locations" (Models 110/111 ES-S, 115 ES-S and 116 ES-S)
• Electrical wiring to the transformer box (120 VAC, 2 amp service required
for each EL-154, 24 VAC, 50 VA transformer used)
• Closet fixture
• Drain line
• Water supply line
Important:
• ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING IS TO BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL/LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
• ALL PLUMBING IS TO 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.
• A 24 VAC STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER MUST BE USED.
• USE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHILE CONNECTING TRANSFORMER
TO 120 VAC POWER SOURCE.
• FLUSH ALL WATER LINES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTIONS.
Sloan
®
and Regal®Flushometers are designed to operate with 15 to 100 psi
(104 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 gallon/6.0 liter) require a
minimum flowing pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa).
Protect the Chrome or Special finish of this Flushometer — DO NOT USE
TOOTHED TOOLS TO INSTALL OR SERVICE THE VALVE. Also, see "Care
and Cleaning" section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: EXCEPT FOR CONTROL STOP INLET, DO NOT USE PIPE
SEALANT OR PLUMBING GREASE ON ANY VALVE COMPONENT OR
COUPLING!
Transformer Installation
Install Transformer (EL-154) on a 2-Gang Electrical Box, 4" x 4" x 2-1/2" (102
mm x 102 mm x 64 mm) in a convenient location; refer to the illustration at
upper right side of this page.
Note: One Sloan EL-154 transformer can operate up to ten OPTIMA
equipped Flushometers. Run 18-gauge wire from transformer to
Flushometer(s). Wire supplied by others. DO NOT supply power to
transformer until installation of Flushometer is complete.
Note: A maximum of ten (10) Flushometer units can operate from one (1)
Sloan EL-154 Transformer, Class 2, UL Listed, 50 VA (min.) at 24 VAC, plate
mounted.
Sensor/Solenoid Operator Box Locations
Exposed closet models employ two (2) electrical boxes while concealed
closet models employ one (1) electrical box. Refer to rough-in illustrations
for locations.
ELECTRICAL BOX LOCATION IS CRITICAL — Failure to properly
position the electrical boxes to the plumbing rough-in will result in
improper installation and impair product performance. All tradesmen
(plumbers, electricians, tile setters, etc.) involved with the
installation of this sensor activated flushometer must be familiar
with the requirements of its installation. Improper installation may
void the manufacturer's warranty.
Note: A template is packaged with Models 110/111 ES-S valves to properly
position electrical boxes. Refer to rough-in illustrations for installation of
electrical boxes.
Note: Use Appleton #4SD1 Electrical Box and #8470 Plaster Ring or
equivalent.
Exposed Closet Models
Note: Install plaster ring so screw holes are on left and right side of
box.
Note: Break tiles to allow screw holes in plaster to show.
Tools Required for Installation
• Slotted screwdriver
• 5/64" hex wrench (supplied)
• Wire stripper/crimping tool
• Sloan A-50 Super-Wrench™, Sloan A-109 Plier Wrench or smooth jawed
spud wrench

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 !!!
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.
