Toilet Cistern Dual Flush Valve Push Button WRAS Approved

Product Information

A flushing valve seat and seal: The bottom part of the flushing bell or plug. The seal forms a watertight barrier between the flushing mechanism and the cistern. By choosing a smaller flush over a longer one, around two litres of water are saved on every flush. WRAS product approval has been granted for all three variations of Cistermiser’s EasyflushEVO flushing valve: EVO 1.5”, EVO 2” and EVO CISTERN – the complete flushing cistern kit, which includes an EasyflushEVO flushing valve, a fill valve and a concealed cistern with a 1.5” flush pipe outlet and flush cone.

Chaozhou Htd Plastic Electronic Co., Ltd. offers flexible prices for Flush Valves variations depending on the importing country and quantity. Toilet manufacturers are being urged to rethink the design of some dual flush buttons after new research showed that as many as eight in ten people inadvertently wasting water and flushing money down the drain by pressing the wrong buttons. Dual flush toilets were introduced to help people use less water in their own homes and in commercial premises. By choosing a smaller flush over a longer one, around two litres of water are saved on every flush. But a new study by WRAS (Water Regulations Approval Scheme) has found that many Brits are confused by the way some dual flush buttons are designed. The SKY030 model may be operated via a push button assembly or a lever for either full or reduced flush. Most people naturally expect a smaller button to mean a smaller flush, but the bigger button needs to be 1½ times bigger than the smaller one to achieve around 80%recognition.However, our study shows that many of the designs used are confusing and we are calling on toilet manufacturers to make short flush options much more obvious for users.” But a new study by WRAS (Water Regulations Approval Scheme) has found that many Brits are confused by the way some dual flush buttons are designed. An overflow: If the float valve malfunctions, the overflow directs excess water from the cistern into the toilet bowl to avoid flooding the floor. Even the best designs were not 100% perfect. Every single one of the designs presented in the study confused at least some of the people who took part in the study. When installed in combination with a WC cistern and pan, further performance tests will be required.

Button designs are more effective if they have clear permanent markings to help people identify the short flush (Survey question focused on which button would you press for a short flush)

Marking: The cap of the syphon has Cascade + and Thomas Dudley Ltd or Cronex (Cronex is a brand name of Cronexrabo which is a subsidiary company of Thomas Dudley Limited) moulded into it. Button designs are more effective if they have clear permanent markings to help people identify the short flush WRAS Approvals Manager Ian Hughes said: “Toilets use around 24%of all the water used in a home. Dual flush toilets can help reduce the amount of water that gets wasted and they also save money for people who are on a water meter.

The research did highlight which types of button designs were more effective in explaining dual flush options: Range of dual flush, WC outlet valves. CJ305 is operated via a push button assembly or with battery powered infra red sensor. CJ302 is controlled with a push button assembly for either full or reduced flush and both models incorporate an internal overflow. Over half of respondents incorrectly identified the short flush in five out of the 18 designs. In the worst example, 81 per cent of respondents selected the wrong button. Except where specified, flushing valves within this section have only completed a limited number of the performance and endurance tests as stated in the "Regulators Specification for WC suites installed after 1st January 2001". The flush volume of valves within this section have not be verified by test. When installed in combination with a WC cistern and pan, further performance tests will be required. WRAS created 18 typical dual flush designs and asked 2,000 people to identify the short flush buttons. This study focused on buttons, however there are other ways to operate flushes, such as levers and non-touch sensor-operated controls.

Fixing a toilet flush

Easyflush Direct’ range of WC flush valves. Flow is controlled via solenoid valve which is actuated via an infrared sensor. A bowl seal: The largest of all the seals, located under the cistern. This seal provides a watertight join between the cistern and the toilet bowl.

This latest accreditation is a further accolade for EasyflushEVO, which recently achieved Kiwa UK Regulation 4 status. Toilets use around 24 per cent of all the water used in a home. Dual flush toilets can help reduce the amount of water that gets wasted and they also save money for people who are on a water meter.Button designs are more effective if they have clear permanent markings to help people identify the short flush. Each EasyflushEVO can save up to 146,000 litres of water per year. Installing just 25 EasyflushEVO flushing valves could also offset over 1.5 tonnes of carbon annually, as around five to six per cent of UK greenhouse gas emissions derive from our use of water. Even the best designs were not 100% understandable. Every single one of the designs presented in the study confused at least some of the people who took part. The WRAS study showed that people up and down the country are unconsciously wasting precious water at a time when conservation should be on the top of everyone’s agenda. WRAS created 18 typical dual flush designs and asked 2,000 people to identify the short flush buttons. This study focused on buttons, but there are other ways to operate flushes, such as levers and infra-red.
