Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TOTO from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between TOTO EcoPower flush valves and battery-powered models?
TOTO EcoPower flush valves use hydropower to generate electricity from the water flow, eliminating the need for batteries or external power. Battery-powered models, such as those using the THP3053 lithium battery, require periodic battery replacement. EcoPower models are suitable for high-traffic restrooms where maintenance access is limited, while battery models may be used in retrofit situations where hydropower is not feasible. Both types are available for toilets and urinals, with flush volumes typically ranging from 1.0 to 1.28 gallons per flush.
What TOTO wall-mounted sinks are available for accessible restrooms?
TOTO offers wall-mounted lavatories in vitreous china, including the LT308 model, which is designed for wheelchair users and provides knee clearance. The LT308 has an overall length of 29 1/8 inches and includes a wall hanger. Another option is the LT307R, an 18-inch sink with a concealed front overflow and one faucet hole, suitable for general-purpose handwashing. These sinks are used in commercial restrooms, healthcare facilities, and public buildings where ADA or accessibility requirements apply. They are available without faucets, allowing specification of separate faucet and mixing valve assemblies.
What is the TOTO TLM10 mixing valve used for?
The TOTO TLM10 mixing valve is a brass valve designed for use with hot and cold water in TOTO EcoPower Series faucets. It includes supply hoses and is installed in commercial restrooms and other high-traffic areas to provide tempered water. The valve mixes hot and cold water to a desired temperature, reducing the risk of scalding and improving handwashing comfort. It is compatible with TOTO EcoPower faucet systems and is typically specified when installing or replacing faucets in institutional settings.
What replacement parts are available for TOTO automatic flush valves?
Replacement parts for TOTO automatic flush valves include the THP3053 lithium battery, which powers sensor and solenoid operation in compatible toilets and urinals. Other parts, such as solenoid assemblies, sensor modules, and valve diaphragms, are also available depending on the model. For EcoPower flush valves, which use hydropower, the turbine and generator components may be replaced if they fail. It is important to match the part number to the specific flush valve model, as compatibility varies by series and production date. 3G Electric stocks common repair parts and can source others on request.
What are the flush volumes and rough-in dimensions for TOTO EcoPower flush valves?
TOTO EcoPower flush valves are available in several flush volumes, including 1.0 gpf and 1.28 gpf, to meet different water efficiency requirements. For example, the TET1LB32#CP toilet flush valve has a 1.28 gpf rating and an 11 1/8-inch rough-in, while the TEU1GAR#CP valve body is rated at 1.0 gpf. Both have a top spud location. Rough-in dimensions and spud locations must match the fixture for proper installation. These specifications are typically listed in the product data sheet and should be verified before ordering.
Are TOTO commercial flush valves suitable for urinals?
Yes, TOTO manufactures automatic flush valves specifically for urinals, as well as models that can be used for both toilets and urinals. The TEU1GAR#CP is an example of a flush valve body designed for toilet and urinal installations, with a 1.0 gpf flush volume and top spud location. Urinal flush valves typically have lower flush volumes than toilet valves, and the spud location and rough-in must match the urinal fixture. TOTO offers both exposed and concealed configurations to suit different restroom designs.
