7、 Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Building Services Standards Policy Committee. This edition supersedes BS 1876:1972, which is withdrawn. The hourly discharge volume for an automatic flushing cistern is dependent on the adjustment of the inlet feed control. Inlet feeds should be

8、 adjusted to comply with Water Byelaws82and83. Tests for the performance of cistern assemblies have been included irrespective of the actual type and dimensions of cistern assembly used. No dimensions have been given except where considered essential to ensure correct functioning and a reasonable li

9、fespan of the appliance when installed. It has not been considered necessary to detail the specific size and shape of the water storage portion of the appliance, but its minimum discharge rate in relation to the duty it has to perform is specified (see3.3). A British Standard does not purport to inc

10、lude all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, page

11、s i and ii, pages1to 4, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS1876:1990 BSI 08-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requi

12、rements for automatic, valveless siphon, exposed or concealed, flushing cisterns with or without covers, of the type used for flushing urinals. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Materials 2.1 Ceramic ware The shell thickness of cer

13、amic ware cisterns, except those in vitreous china, shall be not less than12mm. Vitreous china cisterns shall have a shell thickness of not less than6mm and shall comply with BS3402. 2.2 Rubber compound and plastics cisterns 2.2.1 General Plastics materials and rubber compounds shall be such that, w

14、hen assembled, the cistern shall comply with2.2.2 to2.2.4, where appropriate. 2.2.2 Appearance 2.2.2.1 Cisterns Cisterns shall be free from blisters and delaminations. 2.2.2.2 Exposed cisterns Exposed cisterns shall be reasonably free from flow lines or colour variations on visible surfaces after in

15、stallation. 2.2.3 Distortion resistance When tested in accordance with Appendix A, cisterns shall not distort outwards by more than6mm and the cover, where supplied (see3.2), shall not be dislodged. 2.2.4 Exposed cisterns 2.2.4.1 Colour fastness to light When tested in accordance with BS2782:Method

16、540B, the colour fastness to light shall be not less than5. 2.2.4.2 Opacity When tested in accordance with BS 2782:Method 1104A, the cistern and cover shall not transmit more than10% of the visible light falling on them. 2.3 Stainless steel cisterns 2.3.1 Stainless steel cisterns shall be manufactur

17、ed from sheet complying with BS1449-2 and shall have a minimum thickness of1.2mm before forming. 2.3.2 Stainless steel cisterns shall have no sharp edges. 2.3.3 Stainless steel cisterns, when fabricated, shall have all joints continuously welded. 2.4 Soft solder Soft solder used in the construction

18、of siphons or associated components shall be of type F or type J as specified in Table 1 of BS 219:1977. 2.5 Hard solder Hard solder or filler alloy used in the construction of siphons or associated components shall be of copper-silver-phosphorus or other corrosion resistant alloy, in accordance wit

19、h type CP2orCP3of BS1845. 3 Design and construction 3.1 Depth of body The depth of the body of the cistern shall provide for a clearance of not less than25mm between the highest level that can be reached by the water before siphonage commences and the spill-over level of the top of the cistern. 3.2

20、Cistern covers Cisterns shall be supplied either with or without a cover. NOTEUnless otherwise specified by the purchaser at the time of order, the cistern will be supplied with a cover. 3.3 Flushing apparatus 3.3.1 Siphons shall be constructed of either plastics materials which are impervious to wa

21、ter or corrosion-resistant copper or other non-ferrous metal. The siphon shall be so constructed that water cannot flow down the flush pipe except while a flush is being delivered. 3.3.2 Cistern assemblies shall be capable of the following: a) flushing automatically when the water reaches the discha

22、rge level; b) discharging at a minimum rate of0.5L/s when fitted with a straight open-ended flush pipe, 1m in length. NOTEThe length of the flush pipe used to measure discharge should be measured from the lower end of the threaded outlet of the siphon, on the under side of the cistern. 3.3.3 Outlets

23、 of siphons shall be threaded with parallel pipe male thread complying with BS2779. NOTE 1Because of the precise relationship between the component parts, flush pipes, cisterns and urinals should be purchased from a single supplier/manufacturer. NOTE 2For fixing instructions contact the cistern manu

24、facturer or see BS6465.BS1876:1990 2 BSI 08-1999 4 Marking Cisterns shall be permanently marked with the following information. a) The manufacturers name or identification mark. b) The number of this British Standard,i.e.BS1876 1) .

26、presents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of such a claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused w

27、ith third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS1876:1990 BSI 08-1999 3 Appendix A Distortion tests A.1 Fasten the cistern, complete with its fitments and cover if required, by its normal fixing devices to a solid background. Fill the cistern with water to a level just bef

28、ore the automatic siphon begins to function.
