American Standard 6045.101.002 Exposed Manual 3/4-Inch Top Spud 1.0 Gpf Urinal Flush Valve, Polished Chrome

Easy to install

I am writing this review to potentially help someone who runs into the issue I had with installing this flush. I, the homeowner did the installation. I have installed dozens of toilets, sinks and shower valves and am very comfortable doing so. This is only the second urinal I have done, and the first was over twenty years ago. Experience relative to a urinal goes a long way, and I have little to none. Having said that there is always YouTube right? However little is posted on urinal flushes on YouTube and none on this model. Installation is relatively simple, but when I was finished there was a loud metallic bang at the end of the cycle. Sounds like it needs a hammer arrestor, however, I had one. I repositioned the hammer arrestor. Still no success. Then, by accident, I flushed the fixture with the inlet flange almost an inch further out of the supply stop. The banging stopped. I re-set the supply line ¾” further from the center of the spud flange. American Standard recommends 4 ¼” to 5 ¼”. I originally had it at 4 ¼”. I moved it to 5”. I hope that a plumber or an American Standard rep chimes in on this one. Here is my theory, our water pressure is very good/strong. That extra ¾” was necessary in the rough in due to our pressure. Again, it is only my thoughts and I am not a licensed plumber or technician. I love having the urinal (American Standard also) and the flush now works very well. Instructions are straightforward and simple. A couple of the large nuts are already attached to the fixture (I spent a few minutes looking for parts that were already attached). Two suggestions, go overboard when securing water line. It should not budge! Secondly, a large, two inch plus crescent wrench (smooth not toothed) essential not only for installation but handy for future use. I also have easy access to the back of the unit which is a huge advantage not only for the installation, but for future repairs. Overall seems to be a very good product at a nice price. Hope this helps someone.

As described

Nice piece of hardware, works great and looks great, love that stream line design.

Easy install. Works well. A. It on the heavy side.. But maybe that means there's a lot of good old solid parts inside.
