ABSTRACT:
A dual capacity flush valve has a handle or actuator which is normally operated to provide a low volume flush; a selector member is positioned adjacent the handle and when operated enables the handle to be operated to provide a full capacity flush. The handle is moved in the same direction for both flush volumes. The valve handle actuates a valve member shown as a plate having one or more valve openings for controlling the flow of water, the plate being rotated by the handle to open the valve and then being rotated in the same direction by a water motor when the water flows through a plate opening. Rotation of the plate by the motor returns the valve to its closed position. The amount of opening of the valve determines the duration and capacity of the flush.
