FAQ

Q: Is the Z6200-WS1-YB-YC compatible with existing plumbing systems?

A: Absolutely! The Z6200-WS1-YB-YC is designed for versatile installation, making it suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications. It features a standard top spud connection and comes with an adjustable tailpiece, allowing it to adapt to various plumbing configurations. The exposed design simplifies installation and maintenance. However, when retrofitting, it's important to ensure that the existing fixture is compatible with the 1.6 gpf flow rate. For optimal performance and to ensure compliance with local codes, we recommend consulting with a professional plumber, especially when retrofitting this valve into an existing system.

Q: How does the piston-operated system differ from diaphragm-based flush valves?

A: The piston-operated system in the Z6200-WS1-YB-YC offers several advantages over traditional diaphragm-based flush valves. Piston technology provides more consistent flush volumes and requires less maintenance over time. The piston's design allows for a more precise control of water flow, which is especially important in water-saving models. Additionally, the filtered by-pass in our MetroVantage piston helps prevent clogging issues that can sometimes occur in diaphragm valves. This results in more reliable operation, fewer callbacks for maintenance, and a longer overall lifespan of the flush valve.
