Abstract
A flush valve mounting permitting adjustment of water flow to the requirements of different types of toilet bowl comprises a housing in which a float container with a float therein is removably emplaced. The lower portion of the housing has window apertures through which water can flow from the flush tank into a drain upon lifting of the pipe which carries the valve plate. A wall extending downwardly from the floor of the float container abuts the interior of the window openings, and this wall itself has through-flow apertures separated by webs formed by the wall. The openings in the window apertures are diminished by rotating the float container relative to the housing. This permits the water flow to be adjusted to the requirements of the particular toilet bowl.
