4. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the NuFlush SIAMP Replacement Kit:

1. Preparation:
   • Turn off the water supply to the toilet.
   • Flush the toilet to empty the tank.
   • Use a sponge or towel to remove any remaining water from the tank.
   • Disconnect the water supply line from the fill valve.
   • Unscrew the nuts holding the toilet tank to the bowl (if applicable for two-piece toilets) and carefully remove the tank.
2. Remove Old Flush Valve:
   • Unscrew the large nut on the underside of the toilet tank that secures the old flush valve.
   • Remove the old flush valve and gasket from the tank. Clean the flush valve opening thoroughly.
3. Install New Flush Valve:
   • Place the new mounting gasket onto the base of the NuFlush SIAMP flush valve.
   • Insert the flush valve assembly into the flush valve opening from inside the tank. Ensure it is seated correctly.
   • From the underside of the tank, thread the large mounting nut onto the flush valve and hand-tighten it securely. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the tank.
4. Adjust Flush Valve Height:
   • The overflow tube of the flush valve is adjustable. Adjust its height to be approximately 1 inch below the tank's overflow hole or the water level mark. This prevents water from continuously flowing into the overflow.
5. Reassemble Tank and Install Button:
   • Carefully place the toilet tank back onto the bowl (if removed) and secure it with the tank bolts and nuts.
   • Connect the water supply line to the fill valve.
   • Insert the top button flush mechanism into the lid hole. The kit supports lid holes between 16mm and 50mm diameter. Adjust the button's height as needed to fit your toilet lid.
   • Ensure the button's rod aligns with the flush valve's activation point.

6. Test and Adjust:
   • Turn on the water supply to the toilet. Allow the tank to fill.
   • Check for any leaks around the flush valve and water supply connections.
   • Press the flush button to test the flush operation. Ensure a complete and efficient flush.

5. Operating Instructions

The NuFlush SIAMP Replacement Kit features a single-flush mechanism with a top button.

• Flushing: Press the top button firmly to activate the flush. The valve will open, allowing water to flow from the tank into the bowl.
• Adjusting Flush Volume: This valve includes an adjustable small flush slider, allowing you to set the flush volume between 2 liters and 4.5 liters. Refer to the markings on the flush valve for precise adjustment. Adjusting this slider can help conserve water.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your flush valve.

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the flush valve for mineral buildup or debris. Turn off the water supply, drain the tank, and gently clean components with a soft brush and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Seal Inspection: Check the rubber seal (flapper or canister seal) at the base of the flush valve for wear, cracks, or deterioration. A worn seal can cause leaks. Replace if necessary.
• Overflow Tube: Ensure the overflow tube remains clear and free of obstructions.
