This image displays the four main components of the Viega Equipment Kit 8310.0: the valve set, the entrance mechanism for dual-flush functionality, and the threaded bolt kit for secure installation.
4. Setup and Installation
This kit is designed to convert existing Viega Visign 1H flush boxes (model years 1999-2007) to accommodate Visign for Style or Visign for More Contour Plates. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Cistern: Turn off the water supply to the toilet at the shut-off valve. Flush the toilet to empty the cistern. Remove the existing flush plate and any internal components of the old flush mechanism from the cistern.
- Install the Valve Set: Carefully insert the new valve set into the designated opening within the cistern. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.
- Install the Entrance Mechanism: Position the new entrance mechanism (2-volume function) inside the cistern. Connect it to the water supply inlet and the valve set according to the specific design of your cistern.
- Secure Components: Use the provided threaded bolt kit to secure the new components firmly within the cistern. Tighten bolts evenly to prevent stress on the plastic parts.
- Attach New Flush Plate: Once the internal components are installed, attach your new Visign for Style or Visign for More Contour Plate to the front of the cistern, ensuring it aligns with the new flush mechanism.
- Restore Water Supply and Test: Slowly turn the water supply back on. Allow the cistern to fill. Check for any leaks around connections. Test both the small and large flush functions to ensure proper operation.
Note: Specific steps may vary slightly depending on the exact model of your Viega flush box. Refer to the original cistern's documentation if available.
5. Operating Instructions
The Viega Equipment Kit 8310.0 provides a 2-volume (dual-flush) function, designed to conserve water. The operation depends on the specific Visign flush plate installed:
- Small Flush: Typically activated by pressing the smaller button or the upper part of a rocker plate. This releases a reduced volume of water for liquid waste.
- Large Flush: Typically activated by pressing the larger button or the lower part of a rocker plate. This releases the full volume of water for solid waste.
Familiarize yourself with the specific design of your Visign flush plate to correctly utilize the dual-flush feature.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Viega flush system:
- Cleaning: Clean the flush plate and visible components with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage surfaces or internal seals.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the internal components for signs of wear, such as cracked seals or stiff moving parts.
- Water Quality: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits may accumulate. If flushing performance degrades, the valve set or entrance mechanism may need cleaning or descaling. Turn off the water supply before attempting any internal cleaning.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cistern not filling | Water supply off; entrance mechanism blocked or faulty. | Check water shut-off valve; inspect and clean/replace entrance mechanism. |
| Continuous running water | Valve set seal worn or obstructed; float mechanism incorrectly adjusted. | Inspect and clean/replace valve set seal; adjust float mechanism. |
| Flush not activating | Linkage between flush plate and mechanism disconnected or broken. | Re-connect or replace linkage components. |
| Weak flush | Low water level; partial blockage in valve set. | Check water level adjustment; clean valve set. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact Viega customer support or a professional plumber.
