(54) | Adaptable flush tank valve assembly, and method of fitting the valve assembly to a flush tank |
(57) A valve assembly (1) for a flush tank (2) extends along an axis (A1), and has a cylindrical
cup (8); a valve (9) having a valve body (16) integral with the cup (8), and a slide
(19) movable along the axis (A1); a frame (10) located over the cup (8); and an actuating
device (11) for actuating the slide (19), and supported partly by the frame (10) and
partly by the slide (19); the frame (10) and the cup (8) being connected by a threaded
connection to vary the length of the valve assembly (1) along the axis (A1) by means
of relative rotation, about the axis (A1), between the cup (8) and the frame (10).
Thus, the flush tank valve assembly (1) can be filled quickly and easily to a flush
tank (2) whereby the length of the valve assembly (1) can be adapted to the size of
the flush tank (2). |
