Important:
• All plumbing is to be installed according to state and local
codes and regulations.
• Water supply lines need to allow proper water ow for each
xture.
• Flush all lines of any debris before making connections.
• Do not use pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any tting other
then the control stop inlet.
The AquaVantage valve is designed to operate under several
varieties of water pressure. The pressures fall between 10
and100 psi (69 to 689 kPa). Each valve is tested at the lowest
and highest pressures before being shipped.The minimum
pressure is determined by the type of xture purchased and
the gallons per ush requested. Consult your catalog for ow
options.Most low consumption valves (1.6 gallon) require a
minimum of 25 psi ow pressure. Rough-in for plumbing and
double gang box per specication sheet and Figure A. When
installing your quality Zurn valve it is recommended that to
protect the polished nishyou do not use a toothed wrench. This
will cause gouges and scratches on your valve.
STEP NO. 1
Measure distance from nished wall to centerline of xture spud;
cut supply pipe 1-1/4” shorter than this measurement. Chamfer
O.D. and I.D. (See Figure B.)
STEP NO. 2
Slide threaded adaptor onto supply pipe until shoulder stops on
endof pipe, then sweat-solder the adaptor to the water supply
pipe. (See Figure C.)
STEP NO. 3
Measure from nished wall to rst thread of adaptor for length
ofchrome tube. Cut chrome tube this length ‘X’. (See Figure C.)
STEP NO. 4
Slide wall escutcheon over chrome tube and slide both chrome
tubeand wall escutcheon over supply pipe pushing wall
escutcheonall the way to the wall. (See Figure D.)
STEP NO. 5
Screw control stop onto water supply adaptor. (See Figure E.)
Sweat Solder Adaptor Installation Instructions for Exposed Valves

FV241 Rev. A 10/30/18 Page 4
AquaVantage®Valve Installation Instructions for Exposed ZH Series
STEP 1
Control Stop Installation (Figure 1)
Install the Zurn control stop valve with “Siphon Guard” back check
protection (and wall escutcheon on exposed ushometer installations)
to the water supply line with outlet positioned as required.
Note: For sweat solder applications,see recommended instructions
on Page 3 or refer to those included in the Zurn sweat solder kit.
STEP 2
Install Vacuum Breaker Flush Connection (Figure 2)
Top Spud – Slide the tube nut, spud nut, ber washer, rubber gasket,
and xture escutcheon over the vacuum breaker tube and insert into
xture tube. Hand tighten spud nut into xture spud.
Back Spud – Assemble pipe,elbow,coupling nuts,ber washers,rub-
ber gaskets,and xture escutcheon as illustrated in Figure 2.
STEP 3
Installation of Main Valve Body
• Run the black inlet tube of the push button (Figure 4) through the
small hole of the cover plate (Figure 3).
• Run the clear outlet tube of the push button (Figure 4) through the
large bottom hole of the cover plate (Figure 3).
• Loosely mount the cover plate to the electrical box (Figure 3).
• Run the top black nylon tubing through the small cover tube and
small cover tube ring (Figure 3).
• Run the top clear bottom nylon tubing through the large cover tube
and large cover tube ring (Figure 3).
• Place the main valve body in position and connect the nylon tubing
to the compression ttings on the back of the ushometer (Figure
4).
• Tighten the compression ttings but do not over tighten.
• Position valve body on control stop body and vacuum breaker
tube. Valve body tailpiece compensates for mismatched rough-ins
on the job. Maximum adjustment is 1/2” [13 mm] plus or minus
the recommended 4-3/4” [121 mm] centerline of ush valve to
centerline of control stop dimension (Figure 5).
• Align ush valve with centerline of xture and tighten ush tube nut
and tailpiece nut.
• Push the cover tubes ush against the valve body and tighten the
setscrew on cover tube rings.
• Tighten the four screws on the wall plate using the hex wrench
(Figure 3).
• Push the cover tube rings against the cover plate and tightenthe
setscrews (Figure 3).

FV241 Rev. A 10/30/18 Page 5
STEP 4
Install push button actuator.
STEP 5
Flush out supply line (Figure 6). Make sure the control stop is closed.
Remove ushometer cover. Lift out the diaphragm kit assembly.
Install the ushometer cover, wrench tight and open stop. Turn on
water supply to ush line of any debris or sediment.
After completion, shut off control stop, remove cover and reinstallthe
diaphragm kit assembly. Install ushometer cover wrench tight.
STEP 6
Adjust Control Stop
Adjust the control stop to meet the ow rate required for proper
cleaning of the xture. Open control stop counterclockwise 1/2
turnfrom closed position. Activate ushometer with pushbutton.
Adjust the control stop after each ush until the rate of ow delivered
properly cleanses the xture. The nal setting for urinals should be
such that the xture will not overow when the valve is activated in
succession. The stop cap screw cover should be replaced after nal
adjustments have been made.
STEP 7
Install vandal-resistant cap with setscrews provided (Figure 7).

Care of Chrome Plated Surfaces
The suggested cleaning of chrome-plated surfaces is to simply wash with mild soap and water, then dry. Commercial cleaning
compounds are never recommended as they may dull the luster and the decorative nishes.

internals to allow the water to drain from the ush valve itself. The tubing must also be disconnected from the push button assembly
and the actuator assembly to allow for drainage.
