Brief description of the device
The valves for the toilet flush tank show the following device from:
- drain hole,
- special side tube serving for water transfusion,
- rubber cover valve,
- drain button.
Before installation, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the components of the device, its main parts and their characteristics.
Water tank filler
This function allows water to enter the tank. Thanks to a special detail in the form of a float and a shut-off valve, water is recruited to a certain level, not allowing it to exceed its limit. When adjusting the release button, the float changes its position by adjusting the water level in the toilet bowl. When the water is filled with water, the float gives a signal to the shut-off valve, which in turn regulates the access of water from the water pipe.
Adjustment of the level of water filling the tank is handled by mechanisms:
- the above float,
- shut-off valve.
The mechanism of draining the toilet from the toilet drain assumes the following technology. The water is drained with a siphon and trigger lever. A detailed visual device is shown in the diagram.
The function of the siphon - tightly close the drain hole, avoiding water stains. Among the specific categories of the siphon, the standard "pear"( in the form of a rubber cylinder) is singled out, such a "pear-shaped" siphon device uses a side lever of the tank, or a "button" on the lid, which operates by lifting it upwards. Another type of water trigger - a button on the main wall of the tank( often found in the drain cisterns, installed in the wall of the toilet room).
Rules for the installation and adjustment of the valve mechanism
The installation of the toilet requires additional internal structures. The installation and adjustment of the reinforcement is a compulsory addition to the quality work of the toilet tank. To fix the read, we suggest you to watch a video containing a detailed manual on adjusting the fitting of the drainage device.
The valves for the toilet flush tank require a responsible installation approach. Detailed technology and installation of all the necessary components of the uninterrupted operation of the tank below.
- There is a rubber gasket in the installation kit of the tank, the need for its installation is a priority.
- Install washers and rubber gaskets on special mounting bolts. Put the bolts in the holes, on the one hand, on the other - the washer and turn the nut.
- Place a rubber ring on the nut that serves as a sealant. The main thing is that the ring does not allow passing excess moisture and air.
When installing and adjusting the valve, you must carefully inspect each part. Even slight damage to the surface of the part can lead to damage to the tank. You can use additional sealing means - a sealant that hides unnecessary drawbacks of the parts.
- Attach the drain tank to the toilet bowl.
- Connect the water pipe system and the filling mechanism.
- Close the reservoir with a lid. Adjust the release button.
Recommendations for the valves of drainage tanks
In most cases, the valves for the toilet flush tank by its mechanism is simple. Even an incompetent person can deal with its installation. Knowing the additional nuances of repair and adjustment of the valve will help avoid problems in this issue.
It is important to be able to adjust the level of the drain valve. It is often advised:
- to disconnect the connection of the draft and overflow pipes,
- to remove excess moisture from the fixing cup,
- to change the position of the rack( up or down).
Setting up the toilet fittings allows you to set "modes" of the amount of drained water. The drain can be small or plentiful due to the correct location of the float, which regulates the flow rate of the drainage mechanism.
