Abstract
A tank valve for a lavatory has a body having a plug with a hollow. A flange is formed on a top edge of the plug. A pair of arms is formed on the flange and extends outwards. An upper ring made of a metal is mounted on a top surface of the flange. A lower ring made of a metal is mounted on a bottom surface of the flange. When a user releases a handle, the valve is immediately pivoted downwards to close a water outlet. Thus, a flow-out capacity of water can be controlled by a time of holding a handle, and a lot of water can be saved.
