Flushmate Parts Breakdown

A) Condition: Water runs and will not shut off

A run-on condition may be caused by insufficient water pressure, an improperly adjusted Flush Valve Cartridge, or a clogged inlet screen. Refer to "Installation Requirements" for recommended minimum pressure. (See "Points to Remember" for a simple method to determine whether your water pressure is adequate). Check water pressure, marginal pressure can cause any of these conditions. If sufficient water pressure has been verified and the toilet continues to run-on, the following steps may be required:

B) Condition: Weak, incomplete, sluggish, or no flush

Inadequate water pressure, an improperly adjusted Flush Valve Cartridge, a clogged inlet screen, or insufficient air draw may cause a weak, sluggish, or no flush condition.

C) Condition: Vacuum Breaker Leaking

If the Vacuum Breaker (E) is leaking, it is likely that the water pressure is insufficient or that there is insufficient flow due to a plugged inlet screen in the lower Supply Shank. The recommended static pressure for the 503 Series is between 20 psi and 125 psi and for the 504 Series between 25 and 125 psi.
