American Standard Ultima Selectronic Exposed Urinal Flush Valve, Diaphragm Type, Battery, 0.5 gpf/1.9 Lpf - AMS-6245051

No hardwiring. The Ultima Selectronic exposed urinal valve runs on a CR-P2 lithium battery, which is included, with a stated 4 year life based on 4,000 uses per month. That makes it a straight swap in restrooms where there's no power at the wall behind the fixture.

It flushes at 0.5 gpf (1.9 Lpf), which is the common half-gallon urinal rate. If the plumbing schedule calls for a 1.0 gpf or 0.125 gpf (pint) urinal valve, this one won't match that fixture's design flow.

Yes. The tailpiece is adjustable for rough-in flexibility and the valve can be installed left- or right-handed, so you can work with the existing supply stub rather than re-piping the wall.

There's a fully mechanical manual override button that flushes the valve with no power at all. For a property manager or facility crew, that means a dead battery is a scheduled fix, not an out-of-service fixture or an emergency call.

Diaphragm type. The diaphragm uses American Standard's EvoLast material, which is chlorine- and chloramine-resistant to resist premature deterioration and failure, and the body is a proprietary brass alloy that resists dezincification. Piston-style valves are the other common design; if your building standardized on pistons for rebuild-kit consistency, this won't share those parts.

That's usually a fouled refill orifice on the diaphragm. This valve uses DynaClean self-cleaning wiper spring technology, where an integral wiper spring cleans the refill orifice on every flush specifically to help prevent valve run-on. It's the reason maintenance departments spec it on high-traffic restrooms.

Yes, the detection range can be set manually or with an optional remote control. The remote is sold separately, so order it if you're commissioning a row of fixtures and want to set them without touching each valve.
