ABSTRACT:
A rigid plastic elbow has a fluid passage formed therethrough from a relatively straight refill hose connecting portion and through a reduced length relatively straight overflow tube discharge portion. The refill hose connecting portion is connectable to an end of a flexible refill hose directing water from a water level control valve in a toilet flush tank. A flexible metal clip secured to the overflow tube discharge portion mounts the mounting member on the upper end of a vertical overflow tube of the toilet flush tank with the overflow tube discharge portion directing water from the refill hose downwardly into the overflow tube upper end. Prior to the assembly of the water level control valve in a toilet flush tank and during shipment of the overall assembly, certain valve mounting parts may be temporarily removably telescoped over the elbow refill hose connecting portion retained thereon by certain of the overflow tube discharge portion and metal clip at the one side and particularly formed projecting tabs at the other side.
