Abstract: A sanitaryware system may include sensors to determine a status or condition of one or more sanitaryware fixtures in the sanitaryware system and perform a particular function, such as, for example performing a flush, closing the flush valve and/or angle stop, sending an alert, initiating a service ticket. The sanitaryware system may automatically perform the function. The sanitaryware system may communicate the status or condition to an internet connected device and/or user, the device may perform the function or may instruct the sanitaryware to perform the function. The sensed information, sanitaryware system status or condition, and/or initiated response may be logged and monitored to improve the overall efficiency and operation of the sanitaryware system and the sanitaryware fixtures within the system.

Abstract: A jet nozzle includes a single-piece body having a water inlet with a first inlet channel coaxial with a first inlet axis, a gas inlet with a second inlet channel coaxial with a second inlet axis, and an outlet coaxial with an outlet axis, the single-piece body defining a fluid passageway from the first inlet channel to the outlet. A channel wall having a water channel is positioned in the fluid passageway between the first inlet channel and the outlet, the water channel being coaxial with the outlet axis and having a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the first inlet channel. The second inlet axis is substantially perpendicular to and intersects the outlet axis at a point within the water channel.
