Abstract

The discharge valve (1), for a cistern (2), has an auxiliary valve (4) with a closure body. After its operation, the static pressure of the flushing water automatically opens the main valve. The auxiliary valve is controlled by at least one float (15,16), linked to the closure body. The discharge valve gives a selection of a total or partial flushing, and requires a low force for operation, and with a low closing noise on partial flushing.
