ABSTRACT:
A toilet tank flush valve for use in the demand mode, and which includes a discharge control and closure valve for controlling the flow of water from the tank or reservoir to the bowl, and with the valve further having a generally cylindrical configuration with an open top and a closed bottom defining a water retaining chamber, with the chamber extending upwardly above the discharge drain opening and being designed to retain a fill of a certain first quantity of water. Pivotal opening of the valve, while tipping a portion of the water outwardly of the enclosure, will not discharge more than about 70% of the volume of water retained within the enclosure so as to permit a more positive seal of the valve onto the discharge drain opening. A stopper installed in the end of the tubing that goes into the hole in the standpipe from the ballcock or a plastic tubing stopper with an internal bore that fits on the fitting on the top of the ballcock outlet stops a large amount of water from going into the toilet bowl through the standpipe by about 60% saving. The toilet tank water level guage allows the operater of the toilet to know when to release the flush lever on the toilet tank when the collar or washer goes down with the rod and rests on the top of the rod guide to shut off the water from going out of the toilet tank through the drain at the bottom of the toilet tank when there is enough water going out of the toilet tank to get a flush.
