Tho following test procedun: shall be followed to verify that the toilet <br />meets thia n:quin:ment: <br /> <br />Purpose or Test: Tho objective of this Adjustability and After-Marlcet Seal Test is to <br />determine the upper limit to the volume of water that may be discharged when an otf- <br />the.shelf replacement flush valve seaVflapper is installed on the toilet. <br /> <br />Test shall be eonducted per section 8.4 of ASME AI 12.19.2-2003 with the following <br />modification: <br /> <br />Test proeedare: <br />a. The toilet shall be installed on a leveled test stand and all adjUBtable tank trim <br />components (any lield adjustment features in the tank that might incn:ase the <br />toilet flush volumo) shall be adjusted for maximum waler use, while taking can: <br />not to damsgo or alter the parts. <br />b. Remove the original equipment flush valve seal and n:place it with a standard <br />(buoyant) non-adjustable after-1DlUicet seaVflapper for that toilet. In the case of a <br />standard configuration 2-inch flush valve, a Fluidmaster Bullseye Super flapper <br />(part no. 50 I) or a Coast FoundJy Ultna Blue flapper shall be used. For non- <br />standard !lush valves, illCluding J-illCh flush valves, one or more ~Iacement <br />seal. Iv.ilablo athardWlInl and building supply stores shaJJ be used . <br />c. Tho water level in tho tank shall be set to 0.25 inches +1- 0.06 inches below the <br />top of tho overtlow lUbe. Whete the tsnk utilizes an internal containment vessel <br />and does not possess an overflow lUbe, tho vessel shall be filled to a level 0.25 <br />inches +1- 0.06 inches below the top rim of the vessel or to the manufacturer's <br />designated water line, whichever is higher. <br />d. The slsm pressure of the water supply shall be adjusted to 80 PSI +1_ 2 PSI. <br />e. The toilet ahaJI be tJushed msinlsining the activator in the flushing position for a <br />period of one (I) second maximum, the water being drained into a container. <br />f. After the flush cycle is complete, the total flush volume shall be observed and <br />recorded. <br />g. This procedure shall be repeated untillivll (5) seta of dais are obtained. <br />h. The static pressure of the water supply shall be adjusted to 20 PSI +1- 2 PSI or at <br />the manufacturer's recommended minimum presSUre as noted in the product <br />literature and product packaging, and test procedure steps c-f-g shall be repealed. <br /> <br />Report: The liVe (5) individual flush volumes and the average of the five (5) runs <br />shaJl be reported for each of the two static water supply pressures specilied. <br /> <br />i Where neither the Fluidmaster Bullseye Super napper nor the Coast FOImdry Ultra Blue flapper fir the flush va've, <br />where a 3-imh nUJh valve i. employed, or in the ClISe of non-.rtandanI fI...h valve seall, the approved lisling agency <br />shaJl have discreliOll as to which atlcr.marI<er flapper or seal shall be used in the IesI. <br /> <br />Lo.
