Have multiple buildings at work that are seasonal so they get disassembled every year for winterizing but never rebuilt unless they are broken. About half of them are running like this when I turned the water on. The building isn't open yet so I will be rebuilding valves this week. Thanks for the video!

Great video, Ken. There are several aspects of your video that stand out and make it a great tutorial: 1. You explained and showed the symptom, the "before-state." This was very helpful for one of our back-up mechanics over a holiday weekened. It was the same symptom he is seeing. 2. You set up your camera in such a way that we could see what you were doing, and then used a flashlight when needed. 3. Your audio was clear and there was little background noise. 4. You explained details that may be taken for granted by someone experienced, but unknown to a novice. The explanation about the equalizer valve was good example of this. This is one of the primary reasons for leaving these comments. 5. You used the technical terms for the components on the valve system, instead of "thing-a-ma-bob", or some obtuse label. That is one of the things that set you apart as a professional in my mind. 5. You provided a close up of the replacement part. 6. You showed the repaired state, the "after-state." From your video, audio, and clear explanation of what you were doing, we were able to understand the symptom, cause, how to repair it, and how it should function properly. Good job on this, Ken.

This was extremely helpful. Plumbing is not a skill I possess and I was called at 9:00 at night that the mens urinal wouldn't stop flushing. I didn't even know how to shut the water off. But after watching this, I got the water turned off and I feel confident I will be able to go back out to the theatre and fix the urinal if I can find the correct part. Thank you!

@mackbastard8 жыл бұрын
My advice: stock your repair kit with plenty of vacuum breakers, diaphragms, O-rings and spud gaskets. If you are replacing the flushometer diaphragm because it is worn out, it just makes some sense to replace other wear items if possible. The annoyance of replacing a diaphragm only to have the connections start leaking at 3 other unions can be avoided.

Thanks for the video comrade! I'm an Australian plumber, I've recently started work at a hospital, the place is ancient with concealed Sloan/Zurn brand flushometers throughout. We're forever having hassles with them either constantly running, or not flush. We changed each piece, bit by bit, flush them out, and they'll just keep playing up, seems to be no rhyme or reason to them! There are nowhere near enough videos on youtube, or detailed manuals online. This video is a major help!
@mikebrown7282 Жыл бұрын
We have a similar issue where I work. It is due to our water supply having sand/small gravel particles come through the system. The get under the diaphragm and cause it to stick.

I would also suggest you replace the inner cover too. Just to make sure the inner cover seals with the diaphragm. I had one yesterday where the inner cover looked fine but it was allowing water to leak out of the chrome cover.

An exhaustive video on the finer points of Sloan automatic hand wash units like the EBF 650 and the like would be great. going beyond changing batteries and cleaning filters would be great. I have about 20 of them to take care of,Problems like consistant flow from one unit to the next, when do i really need to repair/replace solenoids, etc. I sometimes try to cannibalize old units rather than having to buy new ones, but this only goes so far.

Cynthia I have had this before and it was rubber inside the valve just before the diaphragm. 1. remove the diaphragm and look down there with a flashlight and look for any debris. also make sure the seating surface is clean. if all that does not work you could replace the whole valve for about $150 or so.

One problem I have also had with a Sloan Flushometer that was causing a constant flushing toilet was due to the cracked plastic cap that covers the diaphragm. Sometimes the cracks can barley be seen which makes it tough to spot.

Hi Ken, I have a urinal flushometer on the building that even after I have replaced the diaphragm with three different ones brand new ( I ordered 6 from Grainger) still won't stop also the body is not corroded, it only works with a toilet flushometer 1.6 Gal. but I have to disarm it very often because after some time stop working, it doesn't flush no more, only after a disarm it and reinstall it again, that's why I started to wash videos to see if I can see somebody with something similar, I think I'm going to have to replace the whole Flushometer. I forgot to mention one thing, I have to reduce the pressure from the angle stop because the water doesn't go as fast as is coming from the flushometer and it over flows, but I increase the pressure for a little bit just to see if that was the problem but, not still it wont stop. :(
