Urinal Flush Valve American Standard 6045505.002 Chrome 0.5 GPF

Description

Product Overview

The American Standard 6045505.002 urinal flush valve is engineered for durability and efficiency in high‑traffic commercial environments. Constructed from synthetic rubber seals and a polished chrome exterior, the valve provides a corrosion‑resistant surface that maintains its shine even after years of exposure to water and cleaning agents. The single‑lever design eliminates the need for continuous manual pressure during flushing, thanks to a spring‑loaded mechanism that holds the valve open until the flush cycle completes. With a water consumption rate of just 0.5 gallons per flush, this valve meets WaterSense criteria and helps facilities reduce utility costs while staying compliant with ADA regulations. The 8‑inch sweat‑type inlet and outlet connections simplify installation on standard plumbing lines, and the compact dimensions (8.7 x 3.5 x 13.8 inches) allow for easy integration into existing restroom layouts.

Usage

Ideal for public restrooms, schools, hospitals, and office buildings, the valve performs reliably under heavy usage. Its low flow rate conserves water without sacrificing flushing power, making it suitable for facilities aiming to achieve sustainability goals. The chrome finish not only adds a professional aesthetic but also facilitates quick cleaning, reducing downtime for maintenance staff. Installation requires only basic plumbing tools; the sweat connections are compatible with standard copper or PEX piping, and the valve can be mounted directly onto the urinal fixture. Because the lever remains open automatically, users experience a seamless flush, enhancing overall hygiene. This product is especially beneficial in ADA‑compliant spaces where accessibility and ease of use are paramount.
