Americans with Disabilities Act. Government criteria mandating how buildings must be constructed in order to serve the needs of people with disabilities.
BALL PASSAGE
Refers to the size of a ball that can pass through the trapway of a toilet. Standards are established based on minimum-sized ball passage. Ball passage also relates to trapway size. Generally speaking, the size of the trap will be 1/8 larger than the maximum-sized ball that can pass through it.
BALLCOCK
The mechanism that controls the flow of water into a gravity-operated toilet tank. The ballcock is controlled by the float mechanism floating in the water in the tank. When the toilet is flushed, the float drops and opens the ballcock, allowing water to enter the tank and/or bowl. The float rises as the water level in the tank is restored, and shuts off the ballcock when the tank is completely filled. Also referred to as a float valve.
BIDET
A personal hygiene fixture with hot and cold water supply installed near the toilet, so users can be refreshed after using the toilet.
BISQUE
Unglazed areas of vitreous china fixtures, such as inside the tank or on the bottom of the bowl foot, have a bisque finish.

ENAMEL
A powder coating, usually a combination of clay, quartz, feldspar, silica and color pigments, applied to an iron casting. When exposed to high temperatures, the coating melts and fuses to the casting, creating a glass-like surface. The thickness of enamel provides outstanding protection against chipping and scratching while offering deep color integrity.

A toilet in which the tank and bowl are manufactured as a single vitreous china fixture. Typically, one-piece toilets have a lower profile than two-piece toilets, although some feature a Comfort Height bowl.
OVERFLOW TUBE TOILET
The vertical tube inside a toilet tank (usually part of the flush valve) that directs water into the bowl in case the ballcock malfunctions. If the ballcock does not shut off properly, water will drain through the overflow tube into the bowl and flow harmlessly over the dam and out the drain. This prevents potential water damage caused by the tank overflowing and indicates to the user that there is a problem by a constant running condition. On most toilets, the overflow tube also has a refill tube flowing into it. The refill line directs water from the ballcock through the overflow tube to the bowl after the siphon break.

Product Care
Cleaning Chrome (CP) and Nickel Silver (AD)
Care of Brushed Nickel (AG), Gunmetal (GN), and Matte Black (BL) products
Care of Unlacquered Brass (ULB)
Cleaning Chrome (CP) and Nickel Silver (AD)
Water conditions vary across the country. Chemicals and minerals in water and air can combine to have an adverse effect on the finish of your products. In addition, nickel silver shares similar characteristics and appearance with sterling silver, and slight tarnishing is normal.
We recommend that you rinse away any traces of soap and gently dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use. This care will maintain the high-gloss finish of your KALLISTA® product and avoid water spotting.
An occasional application of a pure, nonabrasive wax is helpful in preventing water spot buildup and light buffing with a soft cloth will produce a high luster.
To remove water spots and tarnishing, apply a small amount of Simichrome Polish™ to the fixture; rub briskly; wipe clean with a clean, soft cloth. Simichrome also contains a protective film to enhance maintenance.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS
NOTE: FOR MIXED-FINISH PRODUCTS, USE THE APPROPRIATE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COMPONENT FINISH
Care of Brushed Nickel (AG), Gunmetal (GN), and Matte Black (BL) products
While KALLISTA luxury finishes plate to a greater thickness and higher quality than usual, they are still jewelry finishes and require special maintenance.
Water conditions vary across the country. Chemicals and minerals in water and air can combine to have an adverse effect on the finish of your products.
Rinse away any traces of soap and gently dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use. This care will maintain the high-gloss finish of your KALLISTA products and avoid water spotting. These finishes are not recommended for outdoor application.
An occasional application of a pure, nonabrasive wax is helpful in preventing water spot buildup, and light buffing with a soft cloth will produce a high luster. Do not allow materials such as toothpaste, nail polish remover or caustic drain cleaners to remain on the surface.
Over time, with constant cleaning, the surface of your product may begin to show wear. The wear will take the form of faint lines in the highly polished surface.
NOTE: MATTE BLACK, OR OTHER POWDER COATS, SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT DAMP CLOTH USING MILD DISH SOAP OR A 50/50 WATER AND VINEGAR SOLUTION
NOTE: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS
NOTE: FOR MIXED-FINISH PRODUCTS, USE THE APPROPRIATE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COMPONENT FINISH
Care of Unlacquered Brass (ULB)
Brass will naturally tarnish or age quickly after little exposure to its environment, creating a beautiful brown or gray-green color.
Rinse away any traces of soap and gently dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use. Brass polishing compound applied with a soft cloth will remove the patina and restore the brass to its original shine.
Water conditions vary across the country. Chemicals and minerals in water and air can combine to have an adverse effect on the finish of your products. These finishes are not recommended for outdoor application.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS
NOTE: FOR MIXED-FINISH PRODUCTS, USE THE APPROPRIATE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COMPONENT FINISH
Care of PVD Finishes: Polished Nickel (SN), Brushed Bronze (BV), French Gold (AF), Stainless (VS), Brushed Moderne Brass (2MB) and Brushed Nickel (BN)
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach or acid. Rinse thoroughly and use a soft cloth to wipe the product dry after each use.
Success with cleaners and procedures is dependent upon such factors as the hardness and temperature of the water, using exact measurements of ingredients, changes in cleaning formulas and the condition of the product being cleaned. Since there are variations within factors, KALLISTA cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the formulas mentioned.
Ideal cleaning technique is to always blot dry any water from metal surfaces. Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form water deposits. It is important to use a dabbing action to dry metal, not an abrasive or rubbing action. Cleaning with a damp sponge and buff drying should keep your product looking beautiful.
Products to consider:

Cleaning Your User Keypad and Remote Control
Use a soft cloth to wipe the keypad and remote control after each use. If the surface becomes dirty, use a nonabrasive soap and warm water to clean.
Maintaining the Airjets
If cleaning the airjets is required due to hard water deposits, use a small between-the-teeth dental brush and white vinegar. Dip the brush in the vinegar, brush the hole, rinse the brush in clean water and use the wet rinsed brush to rinse the hole.
Fill the bath with water to the top row of airjets. Drain the bath and press the purge button.
Flushing Your Air Bath System
Flush your air bath system twice a month or more, depending upon usage. Use the following sequence:
1. Fill bath with water 1" (2.5 cm) above the top of all airjets.
