What is the purpose of the lock ring on the tail pipe?

[@sloanvalve]

Thanks for asking. The purpose of the tailpiece locking ring is to hold the flushometer in position with the control stop, when the tailpiece coupling is tightened. The mechanical straight threads of the Tailpiece Coupling and Control Stop draw together against the locking ring to bind into the tailpiece; and the tailpiece O-ring seals off the water.

I'm replacing a tailpiece and it keeps leaking at the threads. Any tips to keep this from happening?

What kind of pipe sealant you use? I used teflon tape, and when that didn't work I tried pipe dope.

[@saltypipefitter4618]

you do not use pipe sealant on flushometers

[@WAYNENYC100]

From the Sloan website - Attach the new tailpiece to the valve body by turning it clockwise. Use teflon tape (or pipe sealant) on tailpiece pipe threads. Note: Do not use sealant on the first few threads of the tailpiece. Ensure that the coupling and the locking ring (adjustable tailpiece only) are on the tailpiece before tightening the assembly.

Who has all that on hand? Unless you actually work for Sloan?

[@sloanvalve]

Johnny, we understand the concern. Our parts page helps facility maintenance staff identify what they need and be prepared (www.sloan.com/commercial-bathroom-products/parts). Also, our Sloan Connect app tracks the usage on Sloan bluetooth products with reminders on which parts to order and when (www.sloan.com/design/connected-products).
