*Note* Teflon tape, or pipe joint compound is not to be used on any connection that uses an o-ring or gasket. It is however needed on the brass control stop adapter. This was not shown in the video but will still help provide a leak proof connection.

Always use 2 wrenches . 1 wrench is asking for trouble with old plumbing
Thanks for watching. Do you mean 1 wrench to stabilize and another wrench to tighten?
I'm a maintenance man. Great advice. Movement is bad in plumbing. Thanks
super video for thanks
You're welcome Mremonmiah! Thanks for watching!
Nice video. 👍🏽
Thank you, we're just happy to help!
I always prefer the regal over the royal. The regal is sexy.
Thanks for watching. Both are models are solid overall.
howdy. great video, Thanks! A couple pieces are listed in the installation and maintenance guide but do not see them mentioned in your video. how should the tail piece O-ring and Locking Ring sit within the Stop Coupling? O ring I would assume fits right inside the Stop Coupling against the Control Stop...unsure on the Locking Ring.
Thank you, we're glad that you found it helpful! It has been a little while since we filmed this so I'm just going from memory. There should be a small ridge that the o-ring sits against. The locking ring will be on the other side of the ridge. I think the idea is that the locking ring needs something to press against to help the coupler to "lock" into place. Hope this helps!
Very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Good job guys great video very specific ,,make my job so much easier Lol tHANKS GUYS
You are welcome Juan Jaramillo! We're glad the video helped make things easier for you!
Thanks
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Nice, interesting informative videoclip. I've wondered why some flushometer valves are shorter, others are medium "altitude" & still others contain much more "altitude", yet those of the same "altitude" whether short, medium or tall may have the same capacity of gallons per flush.
Thanks for watching. The capacity comes from how long the valve stays open. This is is a timing issue not an issue of how large the valve is. This video on diaphragm will explain this in more detail: czcams.com/video/IhBA-AZBXGc/video.html
@@AmreSupply Much gratitude for your response.
Hey, thanks for this video. if the measurement from the center of the flush valve to the cut off is not long enough with the provided pipe how do you adjust that pipe to extend it by quarter inch or half an inch or whatever is required. It appears that that pipe is actually soldered or maybe welded on to the flush valve. I’m sure that is not the case.
Thanks for watching. In most cases the tail piece can removed and there are various lengths available. You'll be looking for a H551A - Adjustable Tailpiece.
Yes I like the video!
Thank you!
Do you sell those wrench? I can't find smooth Jaws that are big enough
Yes we sell that wrench it expands up to 3". You can find it here: www.amresupply.com/part/ULN1129-1-inch-3-inch-ADJUSTABLE-SLIP-NUT-WREN
This is the second one for the basement bat. czcams.com/users/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
Thanks for watching.
Hey, do you by any chance have any tips on how to install a bidet seat on the flashometer toilet? Basically - what kind of parts could help getting into the water supply needed for the bidet seat?
Thanks for watching. There are many tutorials out there showing how to install bidets. The steps will be the same but for flushometers you can't connect to the large 1" supply line. You'll have to connect a T to the water supply at the sink, and run a line to the toilet.
@@AmreSupply thank you!
@@syuganov You're welcome!
Hi, getting a leak at the flush breaker connections. Have the washer in there. Any ideas ?
Thanks for watching. Is this on a new installation or an older flushometer?
Actually replacing parts on old installation. @@AmreSupply
@@HarryPatel-xq2qg Then it's best to install a new vacuum breaker. This will come with a new washer. As well it can be good to clean the threads and any surface that makes contact with the vacuum breaker, this will ensure that there is a good seal.
Great . Thank you
You're welcome Erik!
Why do you say cut the copper tube 1" shorter than measurment but then say copper tube should be 1 1/2" shorter than measurement?
Thanks for watching. To clarify, the copper pipe is 1 inch shorter, and the "cover tube" is 1-1/2" shorter. The adapter on the copper pipe will be screwed into the control stop and will be about 1/2" deep.
What size pipe did you use? 1” or 3/4?
For these videos we used a 1" diameter pipe. Generally for water closets, 1" is used and 3/4" is used for urinals. You'll see some models listed as 1" inch or 3/4" in addition to being listed as WC or water closet and UR as urinal.
1"
sir what kind of bowl to be use?
Thanks for watching. Any commercial bowl can be used as long as you match the flush rate so the bowl and flushometer have the same gpf.
Can pex be used with a sloan toilet valve?
Thanks for watching. It is difficult to get enough pressure and an adequate flow rate by using PEX so it isn't normally recommended.
Do you need to turn off the water to install this?
Thanks for watching. It depends on the building but to install a new flushometer, you'll likely have to turn off a main water valve to that room or to that entire floor.
How would I install a bidet with this toilet
Thanks for watching. There is nowhere to attach the bidet to a flushometer. To make it work, you would have to install a tee in the pipe to the flushometer and connect the bidet to it with a shutoff valve. It might be easier to connect the bidet to the sink's cold water supply.
What do you do if the threaded part coming out of the top if the toilet spins and leaks
Thanks for watching. We haven't got a video showing this exact repair but if you search for "How to Replace a Closet Spud and a Spud Coupling" you should be able to see how to install a new one. www.amresupply.com/catalog/Spuds-Spud-Washers-PF7A
@@AmreSupply all good I bought a new spud and replaced it
@@Pipdad3000 We're glad to hear that you found a solution!
Is it possible to add a bidet to the flushometer?
Thanks for watching. It is possible to install it on the toilet, however you would need a supply of water to the bidet. The easiest would be to connect to the sink by installing a T shutoff valve. You can run a flexible line to the toilet.
@@AmreSupply that makes sense and I now see how it can be done. Thanks very much.
@@yolandasanchez2217 You're welcome, we're just happy to help!
Bery good
Thank you!
You neeed Teflon tape
On the adapter fitting…. And most of the times you have to cut the vertical piece, it never fits in place like that lol usually to long
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are currently working on our appliance series before we update older videos like this. There are a few points that would be good to clarify and that includes the use of teflon tape and the distinction between the connections that do and do not use an o-ring.
What about the bottom brass part
Thanks for watching. The 1-1/2" brass spud is built into the tank on commercial water closets.
No plumbers paste?
Thanks for watching. Except for the control stop inlet, Sloan does not recommend that any thread sealant or plumbing grease to be used on any fitting or component. This is referenced in the instruction manual. All the other fittings either use a gasket or a washer.
How to with pex hose?
Thanks for watching. We don't have a video showing any installation with pex hose. Using pex will require an adapter but check your local codes as it might have some specific requirements or restrictions.
You said minimum of 2 1/4" away from the wall, but it can be more right? Because it looked to be about 5 1/2" in the video.
Yes, the minimum distance is to give enough clearance to the flushometer itself, so you can exceed the 2-1/4".
