American Standard 6247161.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does this American Standard flush valve need to be hardwired, or does it run on batteries?
Battery powered. It ships with a CR-P2 lithium battery rated for about 4 years of service at 4,000 uses per month, so no electrical rough-in or transformer is needed at the fixture. For a retrofit into an existing restroom with no power in the wall, that's the appeal.
2) What is the flush volume on this Ultima Selectronic valve, and will it meet a 1.6 gpf fixture spec?
The valve is rated 1.6 gpf / 6.0 Lpf, which matches a standard 1.6 gallon flushometer bowl. Pairing it with a bowl designed for a lower volume, such as a 1.28 gpf HET, will underflush or overflush that fixture, so match the valve rating to what the bowl is stamped for.
3) What happens to this touchless flush valve if the battery dies?
There's a fully mechanical manual override button on the valve that flushes it without power. That's the detail that matters for a property manager or facilities crew: a dead battery means a manual push, not an out-of-service stall.
4) Is this a diaphragm or a piston flushometer?
Diaphragm type. The diaphragm uses American Standard's EvoLast material, which is made to resist chlorine and chloramine so it doesn't harden and fail early. If your building runs chloraminated water, that's the reason to pick a chloramine-rated diaphragm over a standard rubber one.
5) We keep getting flush valves that run on constantly. Does this one address that?
Run-on is usually a plugged refill orifice in the diaphragm. This valve uses a DynaClean wiper spring that wipes that orifice clean on every flush, which is specifically aimed at preventing run-on. For a maintenance department chasing repeat callbacks on the same stalls, that's the functional difference from a plain diaphragm valve.
6) Can the sensor range be adjusted if the valve keeps false-flushing in a tight stall?
Yes, the detection range on the Ultima Selectronic is adjustable, either manually at the valve or with an optional remote control. The remote is sold separately, so budget for one if you're setting a large group of valves and want to do it without opening each cover.
7) What finish does the American Standard 6247161 flush valve come in?
Chrome, under part number 6247161.002. It's an exposed valve, so the finish is visible in the stall, and chrome is what matches most commercial restroom trim already in place.
8) Is the valve body brass, and will it hold up in hard or treated water?
The body uses a proprietary brass alloy chosen to resist dezincification, the failure mode where zinc leaches out of brass in aggressive water and leaves a porous, brittle casting. In institutional buildings with treated or high-chloride supply, that's what keeps the valve from cracking at the handle or tailpiece connections over time.
