Resources - Flush Valve Buyer’s Guide
Stop flushing money down the drain, and start saving in one of the most important rooms of your facility: the restroom.
Restrooms can say a lot about your company. The cleanliness, design, and size can all produce an impression that customers and employees come to associate with your facility. So, too, can the type of products utilized in the restroom. Older, inefficient, well-worn, water-hogging fixtures can project an undesirable image while wasting your money needlessly.
Addressing water usage in the restroom must start with the biggest offenders: the urinals and toilets. But what do you do if those fixtures are fine, and replacing them now is entirely too soon in the product’s life cycle? The answer? Flush valves.
Flush valves are available in three types:
Automatic Flush Valve Retrofit Kits - These retrofit kits can convert the existing flushing systems of toilets and urinals from manual to automatic, saving the money otherwise spent on water and the time required to clean toilets that may go unflushed. This can be especially helpful in public restrooms where the majority of users expect touchless fixtures. Choose from side-mounted and top-mounted styles for toilets and urinals that install within minutes.
- Installs in minutes
- Existing plumbing does not need to be moved
- Ensures toilets and urinals are always flushed
- Touchless - preferred by the majority of users
- Capable of reducing the gallons per flush (GPF) by 20% on toilets and 75% on urinals
Manual Flush Valves - These valves offer the lowest price point for toilets and urinals. These manual, exposed urinal, diaphragm model flushometers can provide savings on water usage without giving up performance advantages. Features such as accurate flush delivery and quiet performance can make the manual flush valve a good fit for your facility
- Eliminates “phantom flushing” that wastes water
- No batteries or sensors to maintain
- Capable of reducing the gallons per flush (GPF) by 20% on toilets and 75% on urinals
Automatic Flush Valves - Similar to the retrofit kits, these valves save the money otherwise spent on water and the cleaning required when manual flush toilets are left unflushed. This can be especially helpful in public restrooms where the majority of users expect touchless fixtures. Choose from side-mounted and top-mounted sensors for both toilets and urinals.
- Designed for new installations
- Ensures toilets and urinals are always flushed
- Touchless - preferred by the majority of users
- Capable of reducing the gallons per flush (GPF) by 20% on toilets and 75% on urinals
