LEAKING
AT HANDLE ASSEMBLY |
| |
|
|
| |
CAUSE: |
|
| |
A)
HANDLE SEAL MAY HAVE DETERIORATED |
| |
B)
HANDLE GASKET HAS BEEN OMITTED |
| |
C)
VALVE IS OLD STYLE AND HANDLE PACKING IS WORN |
| |
|
|
| |
SOLUTION: |
|
| |

PROBLEM: |
|
| |
INSUFFICIENT
VOLUME OF WATER TO ADEQUATELY SIPHON FIXTURE |
| |
|
|
| |
CAUSE: |
|
| |
A)
CONTROL STOP NOT OPEN ENOUGH |
| |
B)
URINAL VALVE PARTS INSIDE A CLOSET VALVE |
| |
C)
LOW CONSUMPTION VALVE INSTALLED ON A NON-LOW CONSUMPTION VALVE FIXTURE |
| |
D)
WATER SAVER KIT INSTALLED IN OLD, NON-WATER SAVER BOWL |
| |
E)
INADEQUATE VOLUME OR PRESSURE AT SUPPLY |
| |
|
|
| |
SOLUTION: |
|
| |
A)
ADJUST CONTROL STOP FOR DESIRED DELIVERY OF WATER |
| |
B)
REPLACE INSIDE URINAL PARTS WITH PROPER CLOSET VALVE PARTS FROM EQUIPARTS |
| |
C)
REPLACE WITH PROPER INSIDE PARTS KIT |
| |
D)
POSITION REFILL HEAD ON GUIDE SO THAT SIDE ONE (1) IS IN UP POSITION |
| |
E)
IF NO GAUGES ARE AVAILABLE TO PROPERLY MEASURE SUPPLY PRESSURE OR VOLUME OF WATER
AT THE VALVE, THEN REMOVE THE RELIEF VALVE FROM THE INSIDE PARTS KIT, REASSEMBLE
THE VALVE AND OPEN THE CONTROL STOP. IF THE FIXTURE SIPHONS, MORE WATER VOLUME
IS REQUIRED. IF A 3.5 GPF INSIDE PARTS KIT IS INSTALLED IN THE VALVE, THEN FIRST
FLIP THE REFILL HEAD (UNDER THE DIAPHRAGM) TO OBTAIN A 4.5 GPF VOLUME. IF THIS
VOLUME IS STILL INADEQUATE, REMOVE THE FLOW RING FROM THE GUIDE TO OBTAIN A 6.5
GPF VOLUME. IF ADDITIONAL FLOW IS STILL REQUIRED, TRY LOW PRESSURE GUIDE KIT.
IF FIXTURE DOES NOT SIPHON OR IF A LOW CONSUMPTION FIXTURE IS INSTALLED, OR IF
THE ABOVE STEPS DO NOT PROVE SATISFACTORY, STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO INCREASE THE
PRESSURE AND/OR SUPPLY. |

| |
|
|
| |
SOLUTION: |
|
| |
A)
SCREW THE TWO ASSEMBLIES HAND TIGHT |
| |
B)
INSTALL DIAPHRAGM OR EQUIPARTS INSIDE PARTS KIT |
| |
C)
INSTALL PROPER WHITE CLOSET RELIEF VALVE |
| |

PROBLEM: |
|
| |
LENGTH
OF FLUSH TOO LONG OR FAILS TO CLOSE OFF |
| |
|
|
| |
CAUSE: |
|
| |
A)
RELIEF VALVE IS NOT SEATING PROPERLY OR BY-PASS ORIFICE IS CLOGGED BECAUSE OF
FOREIGN MATERIAL, OR BY-PASS ORIFICE IS CLOSED BY AN INVISIBLE GELANTINOUS FILM
FROM "OVERTREATED" WATER |
| |
B)
LINE PRESSURE HAS DROPPED AND IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO FORCE RELIEF VALVE TO SEAT |
| |
C)
WHITE CLOSET RELIEF VALVE HAS BEEN USED IN A URINAL VALVE |
| |
D)

| |
|
|
| |
SOLUTION: |
|
| |
A)
DISASSEMBLE THE WORKING PARTS AND WASH THOROUGHLY. NOTE: SIZE OF THE ORIFICE
IN THE BY-PASS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN THE PROPER METERING OF WATER INTO THE
UPPER CHAMBER OF THE VALVE. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. REPLACE INSIDE
KIT IF CLEANSING DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. |
| |
B)
SHUT OFF ALL CONTROL STOPS UNTIL PRESSURE HAS BEEN RESTORED, THEN OPEN THEM AGAIN |
