A flush toilet includes: a water supply channel that allows flush water to be supplied from a flush water storage tank to a rim spout port and a jet spout port; and a switching device that switches a water supply path so as to execute a first flushing process of spouting the flush water in the water supply channel from the rim spout port and after that, execute a second flushing process of spouting the flush water in the water supply channel from at least the jet spout port. The switching device includes a switching valve body that operates by receiving the water pressure of the flush water pressurized by a pressure pump. This switching valve body performs switching to a water supply path that allows the first flushing process or the second flushing process to be executed according to the water pressure generated by the pressure pump.

A flush valve assembly has a pilot valve and a drive train for selective driving the pilot valve between an open position and a closed position. The drive train has a drive gear coupled to a motor for rotating the drive gear and a valve gear coupled to the pilot valve and intermeshing with the drive gear. At least one of the drive gear and the valve gear have a flag extending outwardly therefrom. A sensor positioned to detect the flag and establish a rotational position of the drive gear and the valve gear to thereby establish an opened or closed position of the pilot valve.

A sensing device for a plumbing fixture includes an electronics housing including a rear wall. The rear wall includes a tool passage therethrough and a fastener head pocket in communication with the tool passage. The device further includes a fastener including head carried in the fastener head pocket of the rear wall of the electronics housing and a body extending away from the head and establishing a fastener axis. The device further includes a sensor assembly including a sensor housing having a first portion coupled to the electronics housing and a second portion carried on the body of the fastener and configured for movement relative to the electronics housing along the body of the fastener.

A flush valve has a relief valve including a stationary relief valve housing and an axially-translatable valve element. The axially-translatable valve element has an axial end that can be selectively translated to unseal an upper opening in a relief passageway through the stationary relief valve housing in order to permit fluid flow therethrough in order to initiate a flush cycle by the lifting of a diaphragm assembly. The axially-translatable valve element may include lead screw-like features which can be used to axially drive the axially-translatable valve element relative to the stationary relief valve housing to open or close the relief valve.

A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, the flow diverter having: a body with an inlet, outlet and pressure relief vent; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable around the outlet to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the outlet and the pressure relief vent by moving a stopper in and out of the outlet by rotating a sleeve of the flow adjustment mechanism around the outlet.

A flush valve apparatus comprising a housing and a flush valve assembly positioned within the housing, wherein the flush valve assembly is configured to independently perform an automatic flush cycle and a manual flush cycle, the flush valve assembly comprises a sensor, a power source, and an electrical actuator, the sensor is configured to activate the electrical actuator to initiate the automatic flush cycle, and the flush valve assembly comprises a mechanical actuator configured to initiate the manual flush cycle. An electrical actuator and a mechanical actuator may both be positioned in a manifold and arranged substantially vertically in the housing.
