Abstract: A metering device in the form of an article to regulate by metering the amount of water used to fill the trap in the toilet bowl through the vent tube of a toilet bowl flush tank during a complete flushing and filling cycle of the toilet bowl and the flush tank. The metering device eliminates waste of water by metering the amount of water entering the trap through the vent tube and saving excess water by depositing the excess water into the flush tank for use during the next flush cycle. The metering device is a one piece metering device with a smaller metering opening that is dropped into position in the vent tube in the flush tank. The metered water seals off the toilet bowl trap and the additional water is dispensed from the metering device and allowed to overflow into the flush tank.
