• Water supply lines need to allow proper water flow for each
fixture.
• Flush all lines of any debris before making connections.
• Do not use pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any fitting other
then the control stop inlet.

The Aquaflush valve is designed to operate under various

water pressures with a recommended range between 10 and
100 psi (69 to 689 kPa). Each Zurn valve is tested for proper
performance at the factory before being shipped. Consult the
product pages of the catalog for available flow options.

Most low consumption fixtures (1.28 and 1.6 gallon) require

a minimum of 25 psi running pressure through the valve to
obtain proper evacuation. Please be sure to consult fixture
manufacturer on minimum running water supply requirements
for proper evacuation.

6. 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. Before
the water is turned on, be sure all stop valves to the flush
valves are closed off tight. The stop valves can be opened
and closed by using the adjusting screw located at the center
of the stop valve cap, behind the stop snap cap screw cover Working
Parts
if already installed (see 6a). Stop valve adjustments can only
be made by using the adjusting screw. It is not neces sary
to remove the stop valve cap when making adjustments.
If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the
stop valve cap, be certain the water is shut off at the
main supply valve.

7. The Aquaflush flush valves are preset for fixture volume as

marked on the valve cartons. The valve does not require
regulation for vari a tion 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 enough 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 snap cap screw cov er should be
secured after final adjustments have been made.

Use the following procedure to flush out the supply piping:

A. Remove the main valve body cover.
B. Remove the working parts from the flush valve (shown in 6b).
C. Replace the main valve body cover and plastic cover without
reinstalling the working parts.
D. Open the stop valve by using the stop adjusting screw, and
flush out all debris from pipe and connections.
E. Shut stop, open cover, replace the working parts, replace
and tighten cover.

This procedure should also be followed when the system

has been drained for some time, as occurs in athletic fields,
recreation parks, etc.

Care of Chrome Plated Surfaces

The suggested cleaning of chrome plated surfaces is simply to clean them with mild soap and water, then dry. Commercial cleaning
compounds are never recommended.
Seasonal Use
Valves used in installations subject to shut down because of cold and freezing conditions should be maintained in the following
manner. After the main supply has been shut off and the water drained from the system, remove the stop valve cap and stop valve
internals to allow the water to drain from the flush valve itself.
