Flush valve rubber seal gasket plays an important role in the toilets we use daily. This gasket is installed between the flush valve and the water tank of the toilet. Its main function is to make the connection between the water tank and the flush valve stable and secure. It is in a sealed state to prevent water leakage.

Certification standards

  • ASTM standard: ASTM D2000, a standard issued by the American ASTM International organization related to rubber sealing gaskets, stipulates the performance requirements and test methods of rubber materials.
  • EN standards: European standards (EN) contain some standards related to rubber gaskets. EN 681-1 specifies the requirements and test methods for rubber gaskets.
  • ISO standards: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued some standards related to rubber gaskets. ISO 4633 specifies test methods for the physical and mechanical properties of rubber gaskets.

Why use flush valve rubber seal gasket

  • Prevent water leakage: It can provide a stable seal between the toilet flush valve and the toilet tank, so that when the water in the tank flows from the flush valve into the toilet, it will not flow out to the surrounding environment. This function maintains flushing The normal system also avoids the waste of water resources.
  • Improve the efficiency of the flushing system: flush valve rubber seal gasket has a greater impact on the efficiency of the flushing system. If there is a poor seal, it will cause water leakage. The flush valve needs to work frequently to continuously replenish the water volume. , This will undoubtedly increase water consumption. Using high-quality rubber sealing gaskets can ensure a stable seal between the flush valve and the toilet and improve the efficiency of the flushing system.
  • Reduce the waste of water resources: Water is the source of life. Using flush valve rubber seal gasket helps us reduce the consumption of water resources. By effectively sealing the flush valve and toilet, it prevents water from seeping out and only flushes when we press the button. Only when the keys are pressed, the appropriate amount of water will be released for flushing, reducing water consumption.
  • Provide reliable sealing performance: Rubber sealing gaskets are made of elastic and durable rubber materials and are adaptable. They can adapt to connection parts of different specifications and provide the same sealing effect between the flush valve and the toilet. The connection is always tightly sealed, and no leaks will occur.

Precautions

  1. Choose the right gasket: Determine the correct size of the flush valve and toilet when purchasing, and then choose the matching flush valve rubber seal gasket. Different devices may have different specifications, so you can consult relevant professionals.
  2. Regular inspection and replacement: After long-term use, rubber accessories will inevitably experience a certain degree of wear and aging. This is normal and will lead to a decrease in sealing performance, so the condition of the sealing gasket needs to be checked regularly. And replace it according to the degree of aging. It is usually recommended to replace the sealing gasket every one to two years. If leakage has occurred, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
  3. Cleaning and Maintenance: Keep the flush valve and toilet tank clean to prevent dust, sediment, or dirt from affecting the performance of the flush valve rubber seal gasket.
  4. Follow the correct installation and removal methods: When installing or removing the rubber sealing gasket, pay attention to the need to install the sealing gasket correctly and ensure that the installation position is correct, and the installation is stable, which is the key to whether it can achieve the sealing effect. Follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and use appropriate tools.
  5. Pay attention to the water pressure: Make sure the water pressure is within the normal range and does not exceed the rated capacity of the flush valve and flush valve rubber seal gasket. Excessive water pressure may damage the sealing gasket, resulting in poor sealing effect.
