MODULAR FLUID VALVE
Embodiments include a fluid valve with a modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly configured and arranged to require maintenance over a product life of the fluid valve. The modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly includes at least one portion including a setting or presetting configured and arranged to control fluid flow behavior in the fluid valve. The setting or presetting is useable to control fluid flow in the modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly after an upgrade or replacement of at least a portion of the modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly. Further, the setting or presetting enables the modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly to retain the fluid flow behavior following one or more upgrades or replacements of one or more portions of the modular and/or replaceable fluid control assembly.

Macerator toilet assembly
A macerator toilet assembly (10) is provided with a multi-material toilet (10) having a base (14) formed of a first material, a bowl (16) formed of a second material, said multi material toilet (10) being connectable to one of a waste tank directly below or to a remote waste tank indirectly; a macerator pump (34) disposed on said toilet (10), downstream of a howl outlet end; and, a trap assembly (40) disposed downstream of the macerator pump (34).

Rotatable toilet tank lever
A rotatable toilet tank lever equipped with a stopper has a controller to limit its upward movement. When engaged, the upward movement of the controller is stopped by an adjustment stick hitting the cover of toilet water tank. Therefore, the upward movement of the flapper inside the toilet tank is also limited and the amount of water, about half a gallon, draining into the toilet suffices to flush liquid human waste. When the intervention of the controller is eliminated by turning the handle of the rotatable toilet tank lever with controller clockwise 90 degrees to 180 degrees then the flapper can be lifted all the way up to float in the toilet water tank to allow the whole tank of water, about two gallons, to drain into the toilet bowl to flush solid human waste.

DRAIN FITTING FOR A TOILET CISTERN
A drain fitting for a toilet cistern including a drain valve, which is constructed from a discharge nozzle mounted on the cistern and a lift-adjustable overflow tube, which closes a flow passage through the discharge nozzle in its closed position, and having a pneumatic actuator, with the aid of which, upon the application of pressure, the overflow tube is adjustable into its open position, in which a quantity of flush water is able to flow out of the discharge nozzle of the toilet cistern. An underpressure may be applied to the pneumatic actuator to lift-adjust the overflow tube into its open position. The drain fitting includes an, in particular water-conducting, underpressure unit, which is connected to the pneumatic actuator and generates an underpressure acting upon the pneumatic actuator upon activation by the user.
Flush toilet
Problem: Provided is a flush toilet capable of increasing the volume of a waste conveyance flow, thereby improving a waste conveyance capability. Solution: The flush toilet includes: a toilet main unit (2) comprising a discharge conduit (16) communicated with the discharge trap pipe. The discharge conduit includes a flow dividing section (26) provided on a downstream side of an upstream discharge conduit section, and a delaying flow passage (28) branched from the flow dividing section. An inward region of the skirt portion includes: a central region (D) and a lateral region (E). The delaying flow passage (28) forms a passage in the lateral region (E) and merges leading flush water having flowed into the delaying flow passage from the flow dividing section (26) with a flush water flow reaching the flow dividing section at a timing after the inflow of the flush water to the delaying flow passage.
Toilet having a water conservation peristaltic pump mode
In a tri-flush toilet, three operational flush modes may be provided to enable water conservation. The toilet may include a third mode operating a peristaltic pump to reduce the water consumption per flush. The peristaltic pump is operably connected to evacuate fluids and/or solids form the toilet bowl.
FLUID CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
Some embodiments include a fluid control system with an outlet valve assembly, an inlet valve assembly including a venturi inlet valve, and an actuator coupled to the inlet valve assembly. In some embodiments, the actuator can enable a user to control a flush volume of fluid control system. Some embodiments include a moveable float positioned in a chamber of the outlet valve assembly, where the chamber includes a variably-sized upper portion with a volume that is based at least in part on a variable position of the moveable float in the chamber. Some embodiments include a adjustable control valves coupled to an outer surface of the outlet valve assembly and the inlet valve assembly. Some embodiments also include a bellows positioned in and coupled to the variably-sized upper portion. In some embodiments, the bellows are fluidly coupled to the venturi inlet valve and at least one of the control valves.
