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 system comprising:
a main body,
an upper buoyancy dome,
a lower buoyancy dome, and
a protrusion rod;
wherein the lower buoyancy dome is configured to couple to the upper buoyancy dome via the protrusion rod; and
wherein the main body includes a flush valve seal configured to seal a flush valve seat.
2 . The system of claim 1 ,
wherein a bottom portion of the protrusion rod is configured to engage a bottom portion of the lower buoyancy dome.
3 . The system of claim 2 ,
wherein the bottom portion of the lower buoyancy dome comprises a bleed path adjacent to the bottom portion of the bottom portion of the protrusion rod.
4 . The system of claim 3 ,
wherein rotation of the upper buoyancy dome is configured to adjust the bleed path.
5 . The system of claim 4 ,
wherein the main body comprises at least part of an adjustable window.
6 . The system of claim 5 ,
wherein the rotation of the upper buoyancy dome causes the adjustable window to open or close.
7 . The system of claim 6 ,
wherein the lower buoyancy dome comprises at least part of the adjustable window.
8 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
a first fulcrum mount, and
a second fulcrum mount;
wherein the first fulcrum mount is configured to mount the main body to a first sized flush seat;
wherein the second fulcrum mount is configured to mount the main body to a second sized flush seat; and
wherein the first sized flush seat is a different size than the second sized flush seat.
9 . A system comprising:
a main body,
a upper buoyancy dome,
a lower buoyancy dome, and
an adjustable window;
wherein rotation of the upper buoyancy dome causes the adjustable window to open or close; and
wherein the main body includes a flush valve seal configured to seal a flush valve seat.
10 . The system of claim 9 ,
wherein the rotation of the upper buoyancy dome is configured to adjust a flowrate of water and/or air through the adjustable window.
11 . The system of claim 9 ,
wherein the lower buoyancy dome comprises a lower dome window.
12 . The system of claim 11 ,
wherein the main body comprises a main body window.
13 . The system of claim 12 ,
wherein the main body window and the lower dome window form the adjustable window.
14 . The system of claim 11 ,
wherein a bottom portion of the lower buoyancy dome comprises a bleed path.
15 . The system of claim 14 ,
wherein the rotation of the upper buoyancy dome is configured to adjust the bleed path.
16 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a protrusion rod;
wherein the lower buoyancy dome is configured to couple to the upper buoyancy dome via the protrusion rod.
17 . The system of claim 16 ,
wherein a bleed path is positioned adjacent to a distal end of the protrusion rod.
18 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising:
a first fulcrum mount, and
a second fulcrum mount;
wherein the first fulcrum mount is configured to mount the main body to a first sized flush seat;
wherein the second fulcrum mount is configured to mount the main body to a second sized flush seat; and
wherein the first sized flush seat is a different size than the second sized flush seat.
