FITTING STEPS

Eight steps, in this order.

These are the steps from the leaflet in your kit. Read them all through before you start.

  1. Drawing: the water supply to the urinals turned off or capped
    01

    Isolate the water supply

    Before you start work, turn off or cap the water supply and feed to the urinal, and drain the cistern fully in accordance with all regulations.

    Cap redundant supply pipework as close to the live supply as you can. A dead leg left full of standing water is a Legionella risk.
  2. Drawing: the old waste outlet comes out and the Smarti adaptor goes in
    02

    Fit the adaptor

    Take out the existing waste outlet and replace it with the adaptor supplied in the conversion kit, as pictured. Seal it with silicone.

  3. Drawing: adaptor, counter nut and 90 degree bend fitted under the bowl
    03

    Fit the counter nut and bend

    Take out all existing water traps and bends. Fit the counter nut supplied to secure the new adaptor, then use the 90° bend to connect to the existing waste pipe, with a solvent or compression joint, or a combination of both.

  4. Drawing: waste pipes falling 18 to 22 mm per metre to the main drain, with incorrect falls crossed out
    04

    Check the waste and the fall

    Make sure all pipework is clear and clean back to the main drain, with no blockages. It must be piped to the standard regulations, tested for leaks and flushed with water, with a fall of 18 to 22 mm per metre towards the main drain pipe.

  5. Drawing: the valve inserted into the adaptor and twisted to lock it in place
    05

    Fit the valve

    Lift the top straight off the valve. Insert the new Vortex ECO-TSV™ valve, which comes with a pre-loaded Steri-Kleen pipepod, into the adaptor, then use the fitting key to plug, twist and lock it into position.

    Check it’s locked: the valve must not lift out. The lock forms the seal between the waste pipe and the washroom.
  6. Drawing: the top pushed straight down onto the valve
    06

    Refit the top

    Push the top straight down onto the Vortex ECO-TSV™ valve until it locates. Don’t twist it.

  7. Drawing: the urinal, pipework and joints sprayed with Steri-Kleen
    07

    Spray with Steri-Kleen

    Once the valve is fitted, spray the urinal bowl, the surrounding pipework and all the joints with Steri-Kleen, and don’t wipe it off.

  8. Drawing: the used valve removed into a bag and put in a recycling bin
    08

    When the valve needs changing

    Remove the used Vortex ECO-TSV™ valve by hand and recycle it through your local recycling scheme.
