[edit] Summary
| Description |
A traditional gravity toilet tank at start of flush cycle. When the flush handle is pushed downward, the chain lifts the flush valve flapper. As the water level drops below the fill line, the float lowers the lift arm, causing the valve shaft to open water flow. Water exits from the tank and bowl fill tubes, immediately replenishing them. Meanwhile, a larger flow exits from the tank down the flush tube. 1. float, 2. fill valve, 3. lift arm, 4. tank fill tube, 5. bowl fill tube, 6. flush valve flapper, 7. overflow tube, 8. flush handle, 9. chain, 10. fill line, 11. fill valve shaft, 12. flush tube |
