Omni configured flapper systems for various flush valve sizes and methods of retrofit
The disclosure is directed to a flapper system and a flapper system kit that is compatible with both 2″ and 3″ flush valve seats. In some embodiments, the flapper system is configured to enable a user to select either a 2″ or 3″ flush valve seal for the flapper system. In some embodiments, the flapper system includes a pivot that enables sealing of a flat flush valve seat or an angled flush valve seat. In some embodiments, the flapper system includes one or more adjustable window assemblies that control a fluid flowrate within an internal portion of the flapper system to control buoyancy. In some embodiments, the flapper system includes an adaptor that converts a 2″ valve into a 3″ valve.
1. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a first lower buoyancy dome, and
one or more mounting arms;
wherein the flapper main body comprises a main body window configured to enable water to pass therethrough.
2. The flapper system of claim 1 ,
wherein the first lower buoyancy dome comprises a lower dome window configured to enable water to pass therethrough.
3. The flapper system of claim 2 ,
wherein the main body window and the lower dome window cooperate with each other to adjust a flowrate of water through both windows.
4. The flapper system of claim 3 ,
wherein the upper buoyancy dome is configured rotate; and
wherein a rotation of the upper buoyancy dome adjusts the flowrate of water through both windows.
5. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a first lower buoyancy dome, and
one or more mounting arms;
wherein the flapper main body is configured to be coupled between the upper buoyancy dome and the first lower buoyancy dome when the flapper system is assembled;
wherein the flapper main body comprises a first groove and a second groove;
wherein the first groove is configured to secure a 2 inch flush valve seal to the flapper main body; and
wherein the second groove is configured to secure a 3 inch flush valve seal to the flapper main body.
6. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a first lower buoyancy dome, and
one or more mounting arms;
wherein the flapper main body comprises a first groove and a second groove;
wherein the first groove is configured to secure a first flush valve seal to the flapper main body;
wherein the second groove is configured to secure a second flush valve seal to the flapper main body; and
wherein the first flush valve seal is a different size than the second flush valve seal.
7. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a first lower buoyancy dome, and
one or more mounting arms;
wherein each of the one or more mounting arms comprise at first fulcrum and a second fulcrum;
wherein the first fulcrum is configured to align a first flush valve seal with a 2 inch flush valve seat to prevent a flow of water out of a cistern.
8. The flapper system of claim 7 ,
wherein the second fulcrum is configured to align a second flush valve seal with a 3 inch flush valve seat to prevent the flow of water out of a cistern.
9. The flapper system of claim 7 ,
wherein the one or more mounting arms are pivotally mounted to the flapper main body on a pivot.
10. The flapper system of claim 9 ,
wherein the pivot is configured to enable the flapper system to seal either a flat valve or an angled valve seat.
11. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a first lower buoyancy dome,
a second lower buoyancy dome, and
one or more mounting arms.
12. The flapper system of claim 11 ,
wherein the second lower buoyancy dome is configured to increase a buoyancy of the flapper system greater than the first lower buoyancy dome.
13. The flapper system of claim 11 ,
wherein the second lower buoyancy dome is configured to couple to one or more of the upper buoyancy dome, the flapper main body, and the first lower buoyancy dome.
14. A flapper system comprising:
a flapper main body,
a first fulcrum, and
a second fulcrum;
wherein the first fulcrum is configured to align the flapper main body with a 2 inch flush valve seat when connected to a 2 inch flush valve;
wherein the second fulcrum is configured to align the flapper main body with a 3 inch flush valve seat when connected to a 3 inch flush valve;
wherein the first fulcrum is configured to separably couple to the flapper main body; and
wherein the second fulcrum is configured to separably couple to the first fulcrum.
15. The flapper system of claim 14 ,
wherein the flapper main body comprises an upper buoyancy dome;
wherein the upper buoyancy dome comprises a link fastener; and
wherein the link fastener is located at one or more of a front, a rear, a center, a left side, and a right side of the upper buoyancy dome.
16. The flapper system of claim 15 ,
further comprising a first lower buoyancy dome;
wherein the upper buoyancy dome comprises a protrusion rod;
wherein the flapper main body comprises an open portion configured to enable the protrusion rod to pass therethrough; and
wherein the first lower buoyancy dome is configured to couple to the upper buoyancy dome via the protrusion rod.
17. The flapper system of claim 16 ,
wherein the flapper main body is configured to be coupled between the upper buoyancy dome and the first lower buoyancy dome when the flapper system is assembled.
