ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a flush regulator for use in a toilet flush tank, in order to regulate the outflow through the outlet pipe in such a way that less water is used per flush than normally is the case. The regulator includes a gripping means for attaching to the vertical stem which is screwed into the standard ball valve, and the gripping means supports two upright post members from which upwardly open cups are supported. The cup members are wholly to one side of their respective post members, and are positioned such that rotation of the regulator with respect to the bracket normally supporting the stem will bring one of the post members into contact with the bracket, rather than a cup member. By insuring that the cup members do not contact the bracket, interference with the intended vertical motion of the regulator, ball valve and stem is avoided.
