ABSTRACT:
A dual flush valve assembly for a toilet tank including an overflow pipe, a pair of spaced inlets communicating with the pipe, a pair of flap valves selectively closing the inlets, a pair of spaced handles connected to respective valve operating rods controlling the flap valves, a fitting disposed in an opening in a front of a tank mounting the handles thereto in substantially the same vertical plane one above the other, and two spaced pairs of shoulders extending outwardly from the fitting with the handles being movable between a respective spaced pair of shoulders to limit the movement thereof. The flap valves have a wedge shaped body and are reversible for increased life thereof. The pipe and pair of inlets are removably mounted to a drain extending within the tank from the toilet basin without removal of the drain pipe. The overflow pipe may be aligned with the drain pipe with the inlets being offset therefrom, or one drain pipe and full flush inlet may be offset with the partial flush inlet being aligned with the drain pipe.
