ABSTRACT:
A semi-flush flapper valve apparatus is provided for use in a toilet and consists of a two position operable flush handle on the toilet tank. A main flapper valve has a bleeder valve pivotally mounted thereto. The operating handle is rotated in a first direction to operate the main flapper valve normally thereby causing a conventional full flush cycle in the toilet tank. The operating handle is rotated in a second direction to open the bleeder valve and operate the main flapper valve together thereby venting air from the main flapper valve so as to make the main flapper valve close faster causing a semi-flush cycle in the toilet tank.
