A plumbing fixture includes an electrical component insert-molded within a portion of the plumbing fixture, the portion formed from an epoxy. The electrical component is offset from and disposed below an outer surface of the plumbing fixture. A method of forming a toilet assembly includes casting a flush engine from vitreous material, installing a functional insert on the flush engine, placing the flush engine in a mold, and inserting a material in the mold to create a cavity with the functional insert.

The present invention relates to a toilet flushing initiating, monitoring and management system initiated by the unlocking of a locking member on a door mounted in a stall typically found in a bathroom such as a public bathroom. Signal patterns from flushing controller and a door housing controller are recorded and analyzed to identify associated fault conditions. Notifications of the associated fault conditions are output and communicated to an authorized user, such as a facilities manager.

The present invention refers to a flush tank providing a receptacle with a discharge valve and a triggering mechanism therefore. A first end of an adapter (5) is inserted with a press fit into a discharge projection (3) of the receptacle (2) for the flush water. A discharge tube (7) to discharge the flush water from said receptacle (2) is attached to a second end of said adapter (5), wherein a triggering mechanism (8) is arranged within said tube (7), said mechanism releasing flow of the water out of said receptacle (2). The triggering mechanism comprises a body (16) in which a first hollow piston (22) is slidably arranged whereby lifting the first piston initiates a small flush. A second piston (25) is in turn slidably arranged in the first piston whereby lifting the second piston initiates a large flush. The pistons are both actuated pneumatically.

The smaller volumes of water currently required to flush toilets and urinals may be insufficient to clear the fixtures and the drainage lines to which they are connected of waste and other undesirable materials, which can build up over a period of flushes or non-use. A flush valve control device programmed or otherwise configured to provide a selectable, periodic heavier flush volume of water after a predetermined number of low volume flushes and/or after a predetermined period of inactivity of the toilet or urinal can provide for sufficient drainage line carry-out of waste and prevent undesirable buildup of minerals, etc. on the inside surfaces of the fixtures and drainage pipes.

A touchless activation system comprising an infrared detector configured to detect an object within a target range, wherein an initial reading is measured by the infrared detector. A second sensor operatively connected to the infrared detector, wherein the second sensor is turned on when the initial reading is measured. The infrared detector measures whether the object is within the target range by comparing the initial reading with an object initiated reflection and determining if a predetermined threshold is exceeded, wherein the second sensor is configured to receive a system activation request. An activator mechanism configured to process the system request and cause the touchless activation system to execute an action associated with the system request. The system is configured to flush a toilet or other plumbing fixture, wherein the system request causes the activator mechanism to flush a toilet.

An apparatus and method for a toilet which minimizes water usage and that can handle both urine and fecal matter. An ultrasonic vibration cleaner unit is disposed to clean at least one fecal plate which is rotated into a lower part of a toilet bowl containing water. Occasional and periodic flushing of solid fecal matter results in less water usage than utilizing water flushing for cleaning and carrying away of solid fecal matte each time of use.
