This standard specifies the requirements for materials, manufacture, nominal capacities, dimensions, and testing of automatic flushing cisterns used for urinals. It explicitly excludes cisterns made of plastic materials.

Automatic Flushing Cisterns for Urinals (Other than Plastic Cisterns)

Quick Reference Values
standard capacities5, 10, and 15 Litres
discharge time 5LMax 15 seconds
discharge time 10LMax 25 seconds
discharge time 15LMax 35 seconds

Practical Notes
For plastic automatic flushing cisterns, refer to IS 7231 instead.
Ensure the internal diameter of the flush pipe strictly matches the cistern capacity to achieve the specified discharge velocity and time.
The syphon mechanism must be calibrated properly as hard water scaling can quickly alter the automatic flush intervals.
