Introduction
We have developed and patented a WC flush valve known as "alpha spud" that has many advantages over the existing brass spud.

Disadvantages of brass spuds

1. Installation problems
It is difficult to install and disconnect brass spuds to WC pans. We have encountered many complaints from contractors and owners because it is not easy to connect and disconnect a conventional brass spud to WC pan.

2. Leakage problems
The spud connections are the source of water leakages in the toilet.

Advantages of alpha spuds

1. Ease of connection
Alpha spud can be connected to wc pan in a few seconds. The installation process is easy and fast. The factory-assembled spud is simply lubricated with water and pushed into the wc opening with a light tap. The flexible taper rubber component will even pass through a distorted wc opening.

2. Ease of disconnection
Alpha spud can be disconnected from the wc pan in a few seconds for maintenance works.

3. Elimination of leakage problems
Alpha spud eliminates leakage problems. The double-seal rubber feature (taper rubber and flat rubber washer) effectively seals the inside and the outside of the wc opening. The conventional brass spud seals the inside rim of the wc opening and if the opening is not round, leakages can occur.

4. Cheaper
Alpha spud is cheaper. The ease of installation and less likelihood of leakages saves in future costly maintenance works.

5. Compatibility of Alpha spud
Alpha spuds are 100% compatible to Sloan, Zurn, AWS and Rigel flush valves. We have supplied Alpha spuds to connect Zurn and Rigel flush valves in new projects and replacement markets.
