ANY plumber should have experience with them. They "need" at least a 1" water supply line, unless you have room to be "Creative".

I have flushometers in my own home "Sloan Royal"

Ideally you need at least 25 PSI and no less then 1" diameter piping but in some cases such as a Sloan Gem or A Coyne Delany 3.5 GPF you may want to go 11/4 diameter

hello hj, i am in tucson with 3/4" line, excellent pressure, not enough gpm says sloan. I have seen a few of your threads about the accumulator tank or pressure tank work around, I am still unsure of how to select a tank for my purposes and unclear if this is the kind of specialty item I need to order, or can i source locally stocked, RV/boat places? is there any place i online i can see a photo of the work around, I have an amazing plubmer who also thinks this makes sense and is willing to try this, but needs to be right the first time because the house has 1 toilet only. Thank you so much

Any competent plumber can find and install a pressure tank. All well systems use them, set the Psi 2 pounds below the static pressure of the system. If you have a 3/4 line and excellent pressure, you should have no problem with a flushometer, but why do you need a flushometer as your name says? It seems a little commercial for one bathroom in a house.
