ABSTRACT:
A valving system capable of maintaining a substantial flow rate to a low profile toilet bowl during bowl wash, bowl flush and refill, and storage tank refill. The system includes a tank refill tube and a bowl wash tube, with an adjustable restriction in one of them to balance the flow between them. When the toilet is flushed, water from the storage tank is emptied into the toilet bowl, causing the bowl contents to start to siphon out. A level-responsive valve opens when the tank level lowers, and supplies water both to the tank to refill it, and to the rim. It flows from the rim to wash the walls, to continue the flush, and to refill the bowl. A flow control can usefully be placed upstream from the valve so that a substantially constant flow rate results which is able to be accurately divided between the tank and the bowl, so that all functions are completed by the time the tank is refilled.
