IRC Solenoid Valve
The Infrared Urinal Flush Control (IRC) valve automatically manages the supply of water to a urinal cistern. Reduces water consumption by up to 80%.
How it works
The Infrared Urinal Flush Control (IRC) consists of a solenoid valve and the sensor module.
When the IRC detects movement in the washroom, a pulse from the sensor opens the normally closed solenoid valve and water flows to the cistern; at the same time, the sensor is switched off.
After 25 minutes the power is restored to the sensor and, as long as no movement is detected for 5 minutes, the solenoid valve closes, shutting off the water supply to the cistern.
Features:
- Ensures compliance with the Water Regulations.
- Can be concealed to reduce the risk of vandalism.
- Battery or mains powered (no external transformer required). IRC can use batteries as back-up power to mains supply if required.
- Pipe, wall or ceiling mounted sensor: surface mounted or recessed.
- On DEFRA’s Water Technology List; purchase and installation are tax deductible.
- Visible LED status indicator and low battery alert.
Reducing water wastage and costs
Installing a Cistermiser IRC valve can save on average 129 600 litres of water per year and reduce costs by up to £301 per urinal bowl.
