Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, use, and maintenance of a Side Entry Flushing Kit, identified by EAN 5059340756653 and Impala Ref: PRJ27918. The kit is designed for use in toilet cisterns to manage water filling and flushing mechanisms.

Function Description

The Side Entry Flushing Kit comprises two primary components: a fill valve and a flush valve, along with associated seals, nuts, and a flush button. The fill valve is responsible for regulating the water supply into the cistern after each flush, ensuring the cistern refills to the correct level. It features a float mechanism that rises with the water level, eventually shutting off the water supply once the desired level is reached. The flush valve, on the other hand, is responsible for releasing water from the cistern into the toilet bowl when activated. It is a dual-flush mechanism, offering both a "full flush" for larger volumes of water and a "half flush" for smaller volumes, promoting water conservation. The kit is designed for side-entry water connections, meaning the water supply enters the cistern from the side.

Important Technical Specifications

The kit includes several key components:

  • 01. x1 (Flush Valve): This is the main flushing mechanism, featuring an adjustable overflow pipe and settings for full and half flush volumes.
  • 02. x1 (Fill Valve): This valve controls the water intake into the cistern, equipped with a float to sense water level. It is designed for side entry.
  • 03. x1 (Flush Button): A dual-flush button that activates either the full or half flush, depending on the user's selection.
  • 04. x1 (Water Seal): A critical component for ensuring a watertight seal between the flush valve and the cistern.
  • 05. x2 (Cistern Screws): Used to secure the cistern to the toilet pan or wall.

Adjustable Flush Volumes: The flush valve allows for adjustment of both full and half flush volumes. The full flush volume is controlled by a larger button section and can be adjusted by moving a slider up (to reduce water volume) or down (to increase water volume). Similarly, the half flush volume, controlled by a smaller button section, can be adjusted using a separate slider. These sliders are intentionally stiff to prevent accidental adjustments during installation or use.

Overflow Height Adjustment: The overflow tube of the flush valve is adjustable. It should be set between 25 and 32 mm above the water level within the cistern and a minimum of 20 mm below the fill valve's critical level (CL marking). This ensures proper overflow function and prevents continuous water flow into the bowl if the fill valve overfills.

Fill Valve Water Level Adjustment: The fill valve's float level can be adjusted to achieve the desired water level in the cistern. The recommended water level is 25-32 mm below the height of the overflow pipe.

Minimum Flush Pipe Insertion: When reattaching the cistern to the wall or toilet pan, the flush pipe must be inserted a minimum of 50 mm to ensure a proper seal.

Usage Features

The kit is designed for straightforward installation and user-friendly operation.

  • Dual Flush Capability: The primary usage feature is the dual-flush button, allowing users to choose between a full or half flush, which is beneficial for water conservation.
  • Adjustable Settings: The ability to adjust both full and half flush volumes, as well as the overflow height and fill valve water level, allows for customization to suit individual preferences and local water regulations, optimizing water usage.
  • Side Entry Design: The fill valve is specifically designed for cisterns with a side water inlet, making it suitable for a common type of toilet setup.
  • DIY Friendly: The instructions are detailed, aiming to guide DIYers through the installation process, including removal of existing valves. However, it also advises contacting a professional plumber for those with limited experience or complex installations.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of the flushing kit.

  • Diaphragm Cleaning (Fill Valve): It is recommended to clean the fill valve's diaphragm every 6 months, or more frequently in hard water areas, to prevent blockages and ensure proper water flow regulation. The manual provides detailed steps for accessing and cleaning the diaphragm.
  • Seal Cleaning (Flush Valve): Similarly, the flush valve's seal should be cleaned every 6 months, or sooner in hard water areas, to prevent leaks into the toilet bowl. Instructions are provided for accessing and cleaning this seal.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as continuous water flow into the bowl. This guide helps users identify whether the problem is related to overfilling by the fill valve or an incorrectly sealing flush valve, and provides steps to rectify these issues.
  • Component Replacement: The guarantee covers manufacturing defects for 10 years, excluding wear and tear components like diaphragms, flush washers, flush buttons, and seals, implying that these parts are designed to be replaceable if they wear out.

The product is manufactured by Kingfisher International Products Limited in the UK and Kingfisher International Products B.V. in the EU, and comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing defects under normal household use. It is emphasized that the product and its components are not toys and should be kept out of reach of children. The instructions stress the importance of isolating the water supply and draining the cistern before any work to prevent water damage. Over-tightening components is also cautioned against, as it can cause damage to plastic parts and lead to leaks. The use of sealing compounds and chemical additives in the cistern water is discouraged to prevent damage to plastic components.
