Abstract
A toilet for connecting a flush valve to a drain pipe of a waste drainage system. The toilet includes a housing, a bowl, a seat and a P-trap assembly. The bowl is enclosed by the housing and includes a waste receptacle defined between an upper opening and a waste outlet of the bowl. The seat is coupled to the bowl and defines a seating surface with a central opening above the bowl. Additionally, the seat cooperates with the bowl to define an open rinse slot that extends about at least a portion of the bowl. The P-trap assembly includes an inlet positioned at and connected to the waste outlet of the bowl.
