ABSTRACT:
A flush valve for use in a flush tank for control by the operator of the amount used in flushing, the valve including an elongate body having a solid generally hemispherical protuberance extending outwardly on one side and a hollow frusto-conical cup member extending outwardly from the other side. A tab and opening therethrough on the forward portion of the body for connection to the valve operating system allows the valve to be alternatively turned with the cup member facing upward and being non-buoyant or having the cup member facing downwardly whereby air trapped therein renders the valve buoyant for substantially a full flush. Spaced arm members extend laterally from the rearward portion of the valve body and have one or more openings pivotally mounting the valve to the normal overflow tube to position the valve with respect to the water outlet in either selected position.
