Abstract
A flush valve includes a body having an inlet an outlet and a seat between the inlet and the outlet. The seat defines an opening therethrough. A cover is attached to the body. A piston is engageable with the seat and movable within the body and cover to an extent permitted by a stop formed in the body or cover. The piston includes a guide portion extending through the seat opening and downstream of the seat. The guide portion has ribs and a skirt.
The axial length of both the ribs and skirt is greater than the available piston travel so the flow passages through the seat opening at all times are defined by the skirt and ribs.
The axial length of both the ribs and skirt is greater than the available piston travel so the flow passages through the seat opening at all times are defined by the skirt and ribs.
Claims (8)
1. A flush valve including a body having an inlet and an outlet, a valve seat in the body between the inlet and outlet, the valve seat defining an opening, a cover attached to the body, a piston movable within the body and cover, the piston, body and cover defining a pressure chamber, an exterior seal carried by the piston and bearing against an inside wall of the cover during movement of the piston, a refill orifice in the piston connecting the pressure chamber with the inlet, pressure in the pressure chamber maintaining the piston closed upon the main seat assembly, a relief valve in the piston for venting the pressure chamber to the outlet, and an actuator mounted in the body and selectably engageable with the relief valve to vent the pressure chamber causing the piston to move away from the valve seat and open flow from the inlet to the outlet, one of the cover and body having a stop engageable with the piston for limiting upward movement of the piston to a predetermined piston travel, the piston having a guide portion which extends downstream through the valve seat opening, the guide portion having a plurality of outwardly extending axial ribs, the outer surface of which are radially in alignment with the opening in the valve seat, the piston area between the ribs being closed by a skirt, the axial extent of both the ribs and the skirt being greater than said predetermined piston travel.
2. The flush valve of claim 1 wherein the ribs and skirt have the same axial extent.
3. The flush valve of claim 1 wherein the ribs are spaced equally around the guide portion.
4. The flush valve of claim 1 wherein there are five ribs.
5. The flush valve of claim 1 wherein the skirt has an outside diameter that is about 90%
of that of the ribs.
of that of the ribs.
6. The flush valve of claim 1 wherein the stop is formed by a projection on an inside surface of the cover, the projection being engageable with the piston to limit upward movement of the piston.
7. The flush valve of claim 6 wherein the cover includes an inner cover which includes a top, the top including a ring extending from the top toward the outer cover.
8. The flush valve of claim 7 wherein the inside surface of the inner cover further comprises a plurality of reinforcing ribs.
