The Sloan vacuum breaker trap primer provides a constant

water seal in a floor drain. Each time the flushometer is

activated, a small amount of water is diverted to the floor

drain to maintain the water seal. This seal prevents

objectionable sewer gases from escaping into the air.

Perform the following functions using the rough-in guides illustrated in Figures A and B:

• Installflushometerfollowingtheinstructionsincludedwiththevalve.UsetheseinstructionstoreplaceONLYthe

Prior to inserting the flex tube into the elbow fitting, ensure

that the restrictor washer has been inserted into the elbow

fitting. The restrictor washer prevents too much water from

beingdivertedawayfromthebowl.Thishelpsensure

optimal bowl performance, even when used with 1.28 gpf

(4.8Lpf)High-EfficiencyToilets.

Usethe3/8”(9mm)diameterflextubingtoconnectthe

bottom of the elbow fitting with the restriction washer to the

tubefittingatthewallflange.Sloanprovidesa12”(305

mm) length of flex tubing. Cut tubing to appropriate length.

Tighten compression fittings at both ends of the flex tubing.

Complete the valve installation according to the installation

instructionsincludedwithyourSloanflushometer.
