question about pipe size

hi,everyone,
i am confused about the pipe size for a urinal.
the specification for one brand flushometer says that:
1" IPS angle stop and 1 1/4" top spud
i dont know where the top spud is.
if my water supply line pipe size is 1 1/4" IPS, should i find a flushometer with 1 1/4" angle stop or 1 1/4" top spud?
i am totally a green hand on plumbing
your detailed explaination will be very appreciated.

Re: question about pipe size

Hi Jon, If your house has 1 1/4" mains you will stub out 1" from a line supplied from the main with no branches into a Sloan# 115 polished chrome flush valve. Most houses do not have a 1 1/4" main so They stub out 3/4" and will connect into a Sloan #186 . The top spud is the connection locatred on top of the urinial. The drop pipe from the flush valve connects into that. More questions? Click on back. Good luck, Tom
