11、icy Committee and is complementary to BS1125, which specifies requirements for flushing cisterns designed to have a9L flushing capacity. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application

12、. 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, pagesi and ii, pages1 to16, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and ma

13、y have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS7357:1990 BSI 04-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for7.5L maximum single flush, exposed and concealed WC flushing cisterns with a side inlet or b

14、ottom inlet supplied with a float operated valve, a valveless siphon for high level, low level, and close coupled applications together with the necessary flush pipes. Information to be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and/or order is listed in Appendix A. Requirements for float oper

15、ated valve assemblies and methods of fixing cisterns are not specified in this standard. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 2.1 spill-over level

16、the level at which water in the flushing cisterns will first spill over if the rate of inflow exceeds the rate of outflow through the warning pipe 2.2 warning pipe an overflow pipe with its outlet, whether inside or outside a building, in a conspicuous position where the discharge of water can be re

17、adily seen 2.3 water line a level marked inside the cistern to indicate the highest water level at which the float operated valve is adjusted to shut off 2.4 effective warning water level the level when water reaches10mm above the invert of a side entry connection warning pipe or10mm above the overf

18、low level of a bottom connecting warning pipe (see Figure 1) 2.5 concealed cistern a cistern that is not normally visible after installation 3 Marking 3.1 Cisterns shall be permanently marked with the following: a) the manufacturers name or identification mark; b) the number of this British Standard

19、, i.e.BS7357 1) . NOTEFor the purposes of this standard, marking by means of a label complying with BS4781 is considered to be permanent. 3.2 Cisterns intended only for concealed use shall be marked: “For concealed use only”. NOTEThe purchaser should state at the time of enquiry and/or order the typ

20、e of cistern required (see Appendix A). Marking shall be capable of being seen after the installation of the cistern and before any cover is fitted. 1) Marking BS7357 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e.a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer

21、that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirable.BS7357:1990 2 BSI 04-1999 Secti

22、on 2. Materials and design 4 General corrosion resistance for components Cistern shells, siphons and associated components shall be manufactured from materials which under the conditions of use are either: a) non-corroding, e.g.plastics; b) protected against the types of corrosion caused by the acti

23、on on them of the water with which the cistern is to be used; c) highly resistant to corrosion by the action of the water with which the cistern is to be used, i.e.they corrode only at a rate which is insufficient to affect adversely the durability or efficiency of the cistern. NOTEThe purchaser sho

24、uld state at the time of enquiry and/or order the materials of manufacture (see Appendix A). Before dissimilar metals are used in the construction of a cistern, the manufacturer shall ensure the avoidance of possible electrolytic action. 5 Cistern shells 5.1 Ceramic ware cisterns NOTESee also clause

32、ft solder Any soft solder used in the construction of siphons or associated components shall be of grade F or J as given in Table1 of BS219:1977. 7 Hard solder Any hard solder or filler alloy used in the construction of siphons or associated components shall be of copper-silver-phosphorus or other c

33、orrosion resistant alloy, in accordance with type CP2 or CP3 of BS1845. 8 Flushing apparatus Cisterns shall be supplied with an efficient flushing apparatus of valveless siphonic type which prevents the waste of water. The apparatus shall be capable of flushing directly the mechanism is operated, wh

34、en the water is at the water line, and shall be so constructed that water cannot flow down the flush pipe other than while a flush is being properly delivered. Flushing apparatus shall be detachable from the shell and suitable means shall be provided for ensuring and maintaining a watertight joint.B

The underside of the bend in the siphon pipe (the siphon invert) or, in the case of the dome pattern, the top of the straight discharge pipe, shall be at such a height t

36、hat no water runs down the flush pipe when the water level is raised to the spill-over level after temporarily closing the warning pipe connection. Any servicing joint in the down leg of a siphon shall be above the effective warning water level. 9 Volume of discharge per flush When tested as describ

37、ed in Appendix E, cisterns shall discharge7.5+0.0,1.0L. 10 Rate of flush discharge When tested as described in Appendix F cisterns shall discharge the flush at the following rate: NOTECisterns intended for close coupled use will be tested as for low level. 11 Water line The water level shall be mark

38、ed permanently inside the cistern in such a position that it is easily visible to a person adjusting the water level. 12 Spill-over level The spill-over level of the cistern shall be not less than60mm above the water line (see Figure 1). 13 Warning pipe connections 13.1 General Each cistern shall be

39、 provided with a warning pipe connection so arranged that the invert of a side connection type or the overflowing level of a bottom connection type is not less than25mm or not more than32mm above the water line. NOTEThe purchaser should state at the time of enquiry and/or order whether the warning p

40、ipe and the inlet are to have a side or bottom connection (see Appendix A). Each cistern shall be supplied with a warning pipe connection or a warning stand pipe of not less than19mm internal diameter throughout. 13.2 Bottom warning pipe connection 13.2.1 Metal warning stand pipes Warning stand pipe

41、s of metal shall be of either copper, copper alloy or stainless steel. If made of copper, they shall comply with Tables X or Z of BS2871-1:1971.

43、end and shall be provided with a backnut and washer. They shall have a minimum thickness of1.2mm except at the counterbore at the threaded outlet end of the pipe where the thickness under the root of the thread shall be not less than0.9mm. NOTEThe minimum thickness of0.9mm is necessary because of th

44、e small difference between the outside diameter of22mm pipe and the root diameter of the G# thread as specified in BS2779. 13.3 Side warning pipe connection Side connection cisterns shall be supplied with a union, for the connection of a warning pipe complete with a backnut. The union shall be manuf

45、actured from copper, copper alloy, stainless steel or plastics materials.
