American Standard Ultima Selectronic Touchless Urinal Flush Valve, Piston-Type, Base Model, 0.125 gpf/0.5 Lpf - AMS-606B013

No. The power kit is sold separately on the 606B013 Ultima Selectronic urinal valve, so you need to order it along with the valve or the sensor has nothing to run on. Budget for it on the same purchase order, and note the valve still has a fully mechanical manual override that flushes without power.

11-1/2 inches (292 mm) from the supply centerline out to the spud connection. Lay out the carrier and water supply to that figure before you set the wall.

The 606B013 flushes 0.125 gpf / 0.5 Lpf, which is a pint-flush volume. That only clears fixtures engineered for high-efficiency flushing. Putting it on an older 1.0 or 1.5 gpf washdown urinal risks poor trap clearing and staining. Match the valve volume to the fixture's rated flush.

It fails safe. The valve closes automatically if power or water pressure is lost, so you don't get a stuck-open flush flooding the room. Staff can still flush by hand using the mechanical override.

No. Pressure compensation is built into the Ultima Selectronic valve, so it delivers the same flush volume regardless of inlet pressure. That matters in high-rise and multi-story facilities where static pressure varies between the low floors and the roof.

This one uses American Standard's DynaClean self-cleaning wiper spring. An integral wiper spring scrubs the refill orifice on every flush, which is the orifice that clogs with scale and debris and causes valve run-on. That's the main maintenance complaint on piston flush valves, and it's addressed mechanically here rather than with a scheduled rebuild.

Piston-type. Piston valves use a metal piston assembly rather than a rubber diaphragm, so there's no diaphragm to harden or tear from chloramines in the water supply. If your facility has been chewing through diaphragm kits, a piston valve is the alternative to look at.

The body is a proprietary brass alloy that resists dezincification, which is the failure mode where zinc leaches out of standard brass and leaves a porous, brittle casting. It's a commercial-rated valve, so it's spec'd for schools, stadiums, and other high-traffic restrooms rather than residential use.

Chrome is the finish, ordered under American Standard MPN 606B013.002. It's the base model of the Ultima Selectronic urinal valve at 0.125 gpf.

The valve is listed at 10.67 lb, with dimensions of 27 x 10.38 x 4.25. That's a one-hand carry per unit, useful to know if you're staging a full restroom retrofit and stacking cartons.
