PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Prior to installing the Sloan GEM •2 Flushometer, install the items listed below

as illustratedin Figure 1.

• Closet/urinal fixture

• Drain line

• Water supplyline

Important:

• ALL PLUMBING IS TO BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

APPLICABLE CODES ANDREGULATIONS.

• WATER SUPPLY LINES MUST BE SIZED TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE

VOLUME OF WATER FOR EACH FIXTURE.

• FLUSH ALLWATERLINES PRIOR TO MAKING CONNECTIONS.

TheSloanGEM •2

isdesignedto operatewith10 to100psi(69 to689 kPa)of

water pressure. THE MINIMUM PRESSURE REQUIRED TO THE VALVE IS

DETERMINED BY THE TYPE OF FIXTURE SELECTED. Consult fixture

manufacturer forminimum pressurerequirements.

Most Low Consumption water closets (1.6 gallon/6 liter) require a minimum

flowing pressureof 25 psi (172kPa).

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 thismanual.

IMPORTANT: WITH THE EXCEPTION OFCONTROL STOPINLET, DONOT

USE PIPE SEALANT OR PLUMBING GREASE ON ANY VALVE

COMPONENT OR COUPLING!

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

• Slotted screwdriver

• Sloan A-50“Super-Wrench™” or smooth jawed spud wrench

INSTALLATION

Step 1 - Control Stop Installation (Figure 2)

InstalltheSloanBak-Chek

ControlStopandSupplyFlangeto thewatersupply

line with theoutlet positioned as required.

For Sweat Solder applications, refer to the following instructions and

Figure 3:

A. Measure distance fromfinishedwall tocenterlineof Fixture Spud. Cutwater

supply pipe 1-1/4" (32 mm) shorter than this measurement. Chamfer O.D.

and I.D. of water supply pipe.

B. SlideThreadedAdapterontowatersupplypipeuntilendofpiperestsagainst

shoulder of Adapter. Sweat solder Adapter towater supply pipe.

C. Determinelengthof CoveringTubeby measuringdistancefrom finishedwall

to the firstthread ofAdapter(dimension“X” in Figure 3). CutCovering Tube

to this length.

D. SlideCoveringTubeontowatersupplypipe.SlideWallFlangeoverCovering

Tube until it restsagainst thefinished wall.

E. Install the Sloan Bak-Chek

Control Stop to the water supply line with the

outlet positioned as required.

Step 2 - Install Vacuum Breaker Flush Connection (Figure 4)

Slide the Spud Coupling, Nylon Slip Gasket, Rubber Gasket and Spud Flange

over the Vacuum BreakerTube and insert tube into Fixture Spud. Hand tighten

Spud Coupling onto Fixture Spud.

On valves furnished less vacuum breaker (xyv variation), connect flush tube to

the bottom of thevalve using the Slip Gasketsupplied.

Step 3 - Install Flushometer

SLOAN ADJUSTABLE TAILPIECE(Figure 5)

The Sloan Adjustable Tailpiece compensates for “off-center”roughing-inon the

Important Note: Use a

Sloan A-50 “Super-

Wrench™” or smooth jawed

spud wrench to secure all

couplings. This will eliminate damage to chrome or special finish that normally

occurs whenslip-joint pliers, pipe wrenches or other “toothed” tools are used.

Step 4 - Install Handle (Figure 6)

Install HandleAssemblyto ValveBody and tighten securely.

Step 5 - Flush Out Supply Line (Figure 7)

Shut off Control Stop and remove Flushometer Cover. Lift out the Piston

Assembly. Install Flushometer Cover wrench tight andopen Control Stop. Turn

on water supply to flush line of any debris orsediment.

Important: The Sloan GEM•2

Flushometer isengineered for quiet operation.

Excessivewaterflowcreatesnoise, whiletoolittlewaterflow maynotsatisfy the

needs of the fixture. Proper adjustment is madewhen:

1. Theplumbingfixture iscleansedafter eachflushwithoutsplashingwaterout

from the lip.

2. A quiet flushing cycle isachieved.

After adjustment: Wrench Tighten Control Stop to EliminateVandalism.

CAREANDCLEANINGOFCHROMEANDSPECIALFINISHES

DO NOT useabrasiveor chemical cleanerstoclean Flushometers asthey may

dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative finishes. Use ONLY

soap and water, then wipe drywith clean cloth or towel.

Whilecleaningthe bathroomtile, theFlushometer should beprotectedfromany

splattering of cleaner. Acidsand cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome

plating.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

I. Flushometer does not function.

A. ControlStopor MainValveisClosed.Open ControlStopor MainValve.

B. Handle Assembly is worn. Install Sloan Handle Repair Kit (G-50-A) or

replace handle.

C. Relief Valve is worn andsticking inUP position. Replace Piston.

II. Insufficient volume of water to adequately siphon fixture.

A. Control Stopnot open enough. Adjust Control Stop fordesired delivery

of water.

B. Urinal Piston Parts inside a Closet Flushometer. Replace Piston Parts

with proper Closet Piston.

C. Low Consumption Flushometer installed on a non-Low Consumption

fixture. Replacewith proper Piston Kit.

D. Inadequate volume or pressure at supply. Increase water pressure or

supply (flow)to Flushometer.Consult Factory for assistance.

III. Length of flush is too short (Short Flushing) or Flushometer

closes off immediately.

A. Piston Assembly is nothand-tight. Screwthe assembly hand-tight.

B. Enlarged By-passorifice from corrosionor damage. Install NEWInside

Piston Kitto correct problemand update Flushometer.

C. Urinal Piston in Closet Flushometer. ReplacePistonwith proper Closet

Piston.

D. Low Consumption Piston installed in non-Low Consumption fixture.

Replace Piston with properCloset Piston.

E. Handle Assembly is worn.Install Handle Repair Kit G-50-A.

IV. Length of flushistoolong(Long Flushing)or failstocloseoff.

A. Piston is not seating properly or By-pass orifice is clogged because of

foreign material, or By-pass orifice is closed by an invisible gelatinous

film from “over-treated” water.

Disassemble the working parts and wash thoroughly. NOTE: SIZE OF

THE ORIFICE INTHE BY-PASS ISOF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR

THEPROPERMETERINGOF WATERINTO THEUPPERCHAMBER

OF THE FLUSHOMETER. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS

ORIFICE. REPLACE PISTON IF CLEANING DOES NOT CORRECT

PROBLEM.

B. Line pressure has dropped and is not sufficient to force Relief Valveto

seat. Shut off all control stops until pressure has been restored, then

open them again.

C. 3.5 gpf Closet Piston hasbeen used ina 1 or 1.5 gpfUrinal or ona 1.6
