urinal flushvalves

[DrewJ]

Hey, I'm a new plumber with a school division. My boss is gone for a month, so I thought i would direct my dumb questions to someone else. I have a leaking flush tank that serves just one urinal. Wondering if they make a flushvalve for 1/2" supply, or if i can just use a reducer. If anyone can help me out that would be good. Or, I probably should just ask a whole saler. Thank you

If it's a Sloan flush valve you can get every single piece needed to totally rebuild it.

there is no flushvalve there yet. It's a flushtank. Was thinking of switching to flushvalve. But the water supply is only 1/2". Wanted to know if there is a valve that can be fed by 1/2" water supply.

Well, I'm scratching the old noggin here. You have a urinal with a flush tank? Guess I'm not picturing what you're talking about. However, Sloan flush valves don't like small pipes feeding them. They need volume and quite a bit of it to flush properly.

Flush valve

Chicago and Central are two companies that make a 1/2" urinal flush valve, either in line or angle pattern.
