How does a sloan valve work?

A "Sloan Valve" is the well known valve used on (primarily) commercial toilets and urinals. Touching the chrome handle causes the toilet to flush, violently washing your troubles down the drain. What does that handle do and what makes the toilet flush with such great force? If you look closely, the pipe coming into the valve is much larger in diameter than an ordinary toilet's pipe. This is the secret to the Sloan Valve. The normal water pressure in the building pressurizes the big pipe and when the famous chrome handle is moved, the water in the big pipe is allowed to dump all at once into the toilet. When most of the water pressure in the big pipe is depleted the chrome handle resets and the water stops flowing. If the toilet had a small pipe like most other toilets, the large water volume would not be possible, and the high power flush that we have all grown to love would not be possible. So, the Sloan Valve is not the secret at all. It's the large pipe ahead of it that stores all the water and it's associated pressure. The Sloan Valve is just a large valve capable of releasing it all at once.

Why does your toilet only flush when you pull the lever?

That's how it is supposed to work. Pulling the lever lifts the flapper in the tank which lets water into the bowl.


Who invented the flush able toilet in 1596?

In 1596 ,Sir John Harington,Godson of Queen ElizebethI,had a brainwave."I'll invent a toliet that flushes! Making the flush work properly took age's fact, most people didn't have a flush for another 200 years 1880 ,the toilet had really arrived. Since then, only the shapes and decorations have changed.


What to do when your your toliet can't flush?

look in the tank and see if the flapper is working when turning the handle or then use a plunger or buy a toilet snake they are cheap. If you have kids or etc then maybe something jammed in the trap and if you can't get it out then take out the toilet and snake it backwards. If your toilet don't flush but the drains of other fixtures work fine then its something wrong with your toilet most cases. More information is actually needed to give a proper answer

Can you replace a Sloan Flushmate tank with a regular flush valve?

"Better off" below should be amended to say "NO." You cannot replace a Flushmate with a regular toilet valve. I have tried it, and I can tell you for certain that is does not work. The bowl itself is specially designed to work with the Flushmate system. Observe the shape and path of the pipe going from the tank to the bowl and compare to a regular toilet to see the difference. If you replace the BOWL, then you can replace the Flushmate system in the tank with a standard valve, as the TANK is the same as a toilet without the Flushmate system, but the BOWL must be designed to work with Flushmate. DIsclaimer: I am not a plumber, this is based on my own experiments and observations as a money-grubbing homeowner. No your better off throwing the flushmate away with the toilet and buying a new T&B


Why does the toilet and shower in the bathroom have great water pressure but the sink faucet has almost no water pressure?

The under sing shutoff valves and or the fill lines to the sink are clogged.Sometimes you can flush the lines and everything will work fine.Other times you need to replace the lines.Be sure to remove the aireator and check the flow first it might be the whole problem.


Do toilets flush without electricity?

Well....it should. My toilet, for one, works when the power is out. I mean, any toilet now should work. So, this is probably an old question.


How much water goes down the toilet when you flush?

Generally, modern toilets are required to be low flow, which is 1.6 gallons (6L) per flush. Older toilets were 3 gpf (11L). Modern toilets vary in the amount of water required to flush them, from 6L to 3L. Some have a dual flush system allowing solids (faeces) to be flushed with a full volume flush, say of 6 or 4.5L, and liquids (urine) to be flushed with a smaller volume flush of about 3L. It is not possible to flush properly a toilet with less water than that with which it was designed to be flushed. Low volume flush toilets have been designed to work efficiently with a smaller volume of water.
