INTRODUCTION

This service module will help you to understand the opera

tion and repair of the K-3417 Fleur Water-Guard Toi

let.

THEORY OF OPERATION

All the water in a close coupled toilet is held in a tank that is

above the rim of the bowl. Water to the rim and siphon jet is

supplied by gravity.

When the toilet is flushed, the water in the tank is directed to

the rim holes and the siphon jet. The siphon jet is located in

an area where it can quickly force water over the upleg of

the trap. This causes a more direct siphon action that

quickly removes waste from the bottom of the bowl. Refer

to Figs. #1 - #4.

Toilet bowls for tank type or tankless toilets come in differ

ent heights. This does not affect the operation of the toilet

 but the heights are specified for specific reasons. Most

toilet bowls are 14" - 15" from the floor to the top of the

bowl rim. This standard height is considered the most com

fortable for the average adult to use.

When the toilet is flushed, the water in the tank is directed

to the rim holes and the siphon jet. The siphon jet is located

in an area where it can quickly force water over the upleg of

the trap. This causes a more direct siphon action that

quickly removes waste from the bottom of the bowl. Refer

to Figs. #1 - #4.

ROUGHINGIN AND

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The Kohler Fleur Toilet is perfect for remodeling and new in

stallations. There are two installation considerations

unique to the Feur toilet. The first is the procedure for re

moving the tank lid. To remove the tank lid, it is necessary

to remove the actuator. To do this, place the palm of your

hand over the actuator, and rotate your hand clockwise.

Continue this procedure until the actuator unscrews from

tank lid. The tank lid can now be lifted off the tank. It is also

important to recognize that the air bags in the tank should

be removed and discarded before installing the tank. Re

fer to the roughingin drawings Fig. #5. For flush valve

connection, always refer to the instructions included

with the flush valve.

Close coupled toilets can be installed in areas with virtually

any type of water pressure, because it's flushing action de

pends upon the water in the tank.

START-UP AND OPERATION OF THE

FLEUR TOILET

For most satisfactory operation of this toilet, 25 to 90 psi

working pressure is required at the fixture.

HOW THE FLUSH VALVE OPERATES

Although the flush valve is unique looking , it's operation is

easy to understand. Refer to Fig. #6. When the actuator is

depressed, the actuator rod pushes the lower flush valve

body down. Refer to Fig. #7.

O-Ring

Seal

This unseats a center flush tube from its O-ring. Water

begins to flow from the tank, through the O-ring seal, into

the bowl and rim. Refer to Fig. #8. As this is happening,

the external flush valve assembly (orange) and O-ring rise

as the water flows to the bowl and rim.

Refer to Fig. #9. When the water level drops below the

level of the outer flush valve assembly it reseals. This then

causes the inner tube and unseated O-ring to lower and

reseal.
