Abstract: A flush and tap flapper valve apparatus is provided for use in a toilet with a conventional operating handle. A main flapper valve has a bleeder valve installed therein. The flush handle is rotated normally to operate the main flapper valve and open the bleeder valve together thereby venting air from the main flapper valve so as to make the main flapper valve close faster causing an abbreviated flush cycle in the toilet tank. The flush handle when tapped just after the first push will close the bleeder valve and cut off the venting air and thus cause a full flush cycle.
