Urinal Flush Valve Sloan 1.0 GPF Chrome Polished Brass Valve

Description

Product Overview

The Sloan 1.0 GPF urinal flush valve is engineered for durability, efficiency, and compliance in demanding commercial environments. Constructed from solid brass with a polished chrome exterior, the valve offers a sleek, corrosion‑resistant surface that maintains its appearance even after years of heavy use. The internal flow pathways are precision‑machined to deliver exactly one gallon per flush, meeting water‑conservation standards while providing a powerful, reliable flush. An ADA‑compliant metal oscillating handle operates without a hold‑open feature, reducing water waste and simplifying maintenance. The valve incorporates a built‑in vacuum breaker, a critical safety component that prevents backflow and protects the plumbing system from contamination. All connections are designed for a 0.75‑inch inlet and outlet, using a sweat solder adapter for a leak‑free seal. The product meets ADA specifications, carries a three‑year limited warranty, and is backed by Sloan’s reputation for quality in the plumbing industry.

Usage

This flush valve is ideal for public restrooms, commercial office buildings, schools, hospitals, and any high‑traffic facility where reliable, hygienic urinal performance is essential. The non‑hold‑open handle allows users to activate a single, measured flush, conserving water without sacrificing the force needed to clear waste effectively. Because the valve is water‑resistant and built to operate at pressures up to 80 psi, it performs consistently in both new construction and retrofit projects. Installation is straightforward for licensed plumbers: the sweat solder adapter connects to the water supply, while the cast wall flange with a set screw secures the unit to the wall, providing a stable mounting platform. The valve’s chrome finish blends seamlessly with a variety of interior design schemes, from modern stainless‑steel fixtures to classic tile work. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing downtime for facility managers.

FAQ

What maintenance is required for the Sloan urinal flush valve?

The valve is designed for minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning with non‑abrasive cleaners will keep the chrome finish bright. Inspect the vacuum breaker annually for debris and verify that the handle moves freely. If water pressure fluctuates, the control stop plug can be adjusted to fine‑tune flow without disassembly.

Can this valve be used with existing plumbing that has a different inlet size?

The standard inlet and outlet connections are 0.75 inches. If your existing plumbing uses a different size, a compatible adapter can be installed to match the valve’s specifications. It is recommended to consult a licensed plumber to ensure a proper, leak‑free connection.

Is the valve compatible with water‑saving regulations in my jurisdiction?

Yes. The Sloan 1.0 GPF flush valve meets most regional water‑conservation standards, including those that require a maximum of one gallon per flush for urinals. Its non‑hold‑open design further reduces unnecessary water usage, helping facilities achieve sustainability targets.

How does the vacuum breaker protect my plumbing system?

The vacuum breaker prevents reverse flow of water, which can introduce contaminants into the potable water supply. By automatically closing when a back‑pressure condition occurs, it safeguards both the building’s plumbing and the health of its occupants.

What is included in the package?

The package contains the urinal flush valve, a sweat solder adapter, a cast wall flange with set screw, a control stop plug, and installation hardware. No additional tools or batteries are required.
