ABSTRACT:
A trim assembly for a water closet is disclosed. The water closet includes a tank, a bowl, a passage communicating the tank and bowl, a plurality of rim wash ports in the bowl and a trap between the bowl and an outlet. The trim assembly includes a manifold with an inlet and first and second outlets. The first outlet is coupled to a control valve with a main valve controlling flow to a control valve chamber. The control valve chamber includes first and second outlets and pressurized fluid introduced in the control valve chamber is simultaneously communicated to these outlets. The first outlet in the valve chamber is in fluid communication with the rim wash ports and the second outlet in the valve chamber is in fluid communication with a jet ring. Flow to the first and second outlets in the valve chamber is simultaneously commenced by lifting a valve member off a pilot port in the valve chamber. The jet ring is part of a siphon flush valve that includes a standpipe mounted in the passage communicating the tank and bowl. A bell is mounted over the standpipe to define inner and an outer annular flow paths. The jet ring includes a plurality of jets for directing high pressure fluid into the outer annular flow path. A fill valve is in fluid communication with the second outlet of the manifold and fills the tank and trap after a flush cycle of the water closest is completed.
