ABSTRACT:
A control valve assembly for flushing a sanitary fixture includes a burst valve for supplying flush water flow at the beginning of a flush cycle and an independently controlled bypass valve for providing trap reseal flow after the burst valve closes. The burst valve includes a timing sleeve cooperating with a lifting piston to define a timing chamber communicating with inlet pressure through an orifice. A piston collar cooperates with the lifting piston to define the bypass valve. A lifting chamber defined between the body and the lifting piston communicates with the outlet through a metering valve assembly. Actuation of the metering valve assembly empties the lifting chamber and lifts the timing sleeve, opening the burst valve. The burst valve is closed when the timing chamber fills at a rate controlled by the orifice. The bypass valve is maintained open by pressure differential across the bypass valve to supply trap reseal flow until the metering valve assembly recloses.
