5.2 Life cycle
test
The life cycle test shall be conducted as follows:
(a)Install the specimen with a minimum sustained
water head of 150 mm (6.0 in) at 21 ± 5 °C (70 ±
10°F).
(b)Operate the specimen and allow it to return to its
closed position for 150 000 cycles, with water at
ambient temperature and returned to a minimum of
150 mm (6.0 in) head after each cycle.
During and after the test, flush valves shall
(a)continue to function as they did at the beginning of
the test;
(b)show no signs of leakage; and
(c) not develop any defects that might adversely
affect their functionality or serviceability.
No failure was
found
Sample 1-2:
Pass
5.3 Thread
torque test
The thread torque test shall be conducted as follows:
(a)Using the matching flush valve nut, assemble the
flush valve to a smooth 13 mm (0.5 in) thick
aluminum plate with a hole bored through it.
Ensure that the hole in the aluminum plate is 1to5
mm (0.04 to 0.20 in) larger than the outside
diameter of the flush valve thread.
(b)Tighten the flush valve nut to a torque of 14 N•m
(10 lbf-ft).
(c)Wait 1 min and disassemble the flush valve and
flush valve nut.
The flush valve and flush valve nut shall withstand a
torque of 14 N•m (10 lbf-ft) without jumping the
threads or showing any sign of visible damage.
No sign of visible
damage was found

5.4 Fixture and
flush valve joint
leak test
The fixture and flush valve joint leak test shall be
conducted as follows:
(a)Assemble the flush valve into a hole in the bottom
of a container that is at least 500 mm (20 in) deep
from the bottom to the lowest spill point. The hole
in the bottom of the container shall be 1 to 5 mm
(0.04 to 0.20 in) larger than the outside diameter of
the flush valve thread or in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions in the case of non-
threaded connections.
(b)Fill the container with water at 21 ± 5 °C (70 ±
10°F) to a height of 500 mm (20 in) measured
from the container bottom.
(c)Wait 10 min.
(d)Inspect for leaks between the flush valve and the
container.
The joint between the fixture and the flush valve (i.e.,
the flush valve mounting seal) shall not leak.
Leakage through the flush valve seal opening shall
not be considered a failure.
No leakage Sample 1-2:

5.5 Leak rate
and chemical
resistance tests
General
The flush valve seal shall be tested with a flush
valve. The tests shall be conducted in the following
order:
(a) leak rate test; and
(b) chemical resistance test
Leakage through the flush valve seal during the initial
leak rate test period and after the chemical
resistance test shall not exceed 0.25 ml/h.

Leak rate test
The leak rate test shall be conducted as follows:
(a) Fill the test apparatus with water at 21 ± 5 °C (70
± 10°F) to the specified fill line.
(b) Lift the flush valve seal and flush the test
apparatus.
(c) Repeat Items (a) and (b) two more times, for a
total of three fill-flush cycles.
(d) Fill the test apparatus to the fill line. Allow the
flush valve seal to seat properly by leaving the
test setup undisturbed for 24 ± 1 h.
(e) At the end of the 24 ± 1 h period specified in Item
(d), drain any water from the beaker, refill the
apparatus with water to the fill line, and start the
test. Conduct the test for 1 h ± 2 min.
(f) At the conclusion of the test, remove the test
apparatus from the graduated beaker.
(g) Inspect the beaker for any water that might have
leaked past the flush valve seal.
(h) Measure the water collected in the beaker and
calculates the leak rate.
Leak rate:
Sample 1:
0 mL/h
Sample 2:
0 mL/h
Sample 1-2:
Pass
Chemical resistance test
The chemical resistance test shall be conducted on
two new test specimens for two different bowl cleaner
solutions, as follows:
(a)Prepare solutions of two different chlorine-based
bowl cleaners at 2000 ± 100 ppm of total chlorine
in water. Analyze each solution upon preparation
and at each solution change (see Item (e)) and
record the concentration each time. Maintain the
concentration between 2000 ± 200 ppm. If the
analyses indicate that the concentrations of the
solutions have changed outside of this range,
discard the solutions and prepare new ones.
(b) Attach the specimen to the test apparatus. Do not
use more than one specimen per test apparatus.
(c) Fill the test apparatus to the fill line with the
solution.
(d) Place the test apparatus with the solution and the
specimen in a convection oven or other device
capable of maintaining a temperature of 40 ± 3 °C
(104 ± 5°F) for 28 days.
(e) Replace the solution in the test apparatus once a
day with fresh solution.
(f) Within 1 h of the end of the 28-day test period,
subject the specimen to the leak rate test
specified in Leak rate test.
