Abstract
A flush valve water accelerator having a top opening of increased height to reduce the amount of water used by a toilet, and which accelerates the flow of water to increase the efficacy of the water in the toilet bowl. The device is comprised of an entry tube and an exit tube, with the exit tube having a minimum inside diameter of approximately fifty (50) percent of the median inside diameter of the entry tube to accelerate the flow of water into the toilet bowl without causing cavitation from the vacuum created by the restriction of the exit tube. A connecting tube, having a decreasing inside diameter, connects the entry tube and the exit tube.
Claims8
A toilet flush valve water accelerator for a water closet of a toilet which transports water from said water closet to a toilet bowl of said toilet, comprising:
- a. an entry tube which receives water from said water closet;
- b. an exit tube having a minimum inside diameter which is in a range of 45 to 55 percent of the median inside diameter of said entry tube, wherein said exit tube is inserted through a bottom of said water closet to dispense water into said toilet bowl;
- c. a connecting tube which connects said entry tube and said exit tube, having a constantly decreasing inside diameter from the point of connection to said entry tube to the point of connection to said exit tube;
- and
