American Standard 6065862.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far off the wall can this split-ring pipe support hold the flush valve tailpiece?
Adjustable out to 6 inches (152 mm) from the wall to the centerline of the pipe. That range covers the usual case where the tailpiece runs in front of a finished wall, tile, or a thick furring build-out. Anything further off the wall than 6 inches to pipe center is past what this support reaches, so on a deep chase wall you need a longer support.
2) What does a split-ring support actually do on a flushometer install, and do I need one?
It braces the vertical tailpiece between the flush valve and the bowl spud so the tube isn't carrying load or getting flexed every time somebody leans on the valve. In high-traffic restrooms that flex is what eventually works the spud coupling loose and starts a drip. The split ring opens, goes around the pipe already in place, and bolts back together, so you can add one to an existing installation without breaking the connections apart.
3) Can I install this support without taking the flush valve apart?
Yes, that's the point of the split-ring design. The ring separates into halves, so it wraps a tailpiece that is already connected top and bottom. A solid one-piece support would mean breaking the spud or valve coupling to slide it on. For retrofit work on occupied buildings this is the version you want.
4) Is this the right part for a urinal flush valve or just water closets?
It's specified for toilet flush valves and sized to a 1-1/2 inch tailpiece. Exposed urinal flushometers typically run a 3/4 inch tailpiece to the urinal spud, so this ring is oversized for that job. Match the support to the tailpiece diameter you actually have.
5) I'm standardizing the restrooms in my building. Will one part number cover all the water closet flush valves?
If every water closet uses an exposed flushometer with a 1-1/2 inch tailpiece and the pipe centerline sits within 6 inches of the finished wall, this one support covers the fleet, in chrome throughout. Where you have wall-hung bowls on a deeper chase, or urinals, those openings need a different support, so measure wall-to-pipe-center at a few representative stalls before you commit to a single line item.
6) What finish does American Standard part 6065862.002 come in?
Chrome, and it's the only finish this support is made in. It's the same chrome as the exposed flushometers and tailpieces it mounts to, so on a standard commercial water closet install it disappears against the trim rather than reading as an added bracket.
