Abstract: A flush valve mounting permitting adjustment of water flow to the requirements of different types of toilet bowl comprises a housing in which a float container with a float therein is removably emplaced. The lower portion of the housing has window apertures through which water can flow from the flush tank into a drain upon lifting of the pipe which carries the valve plate. A wall extending downwardly from the floor of the float container abuts the interior of the window openings, and this wall itself has through-flow apertures separated by webs formed by the wall. The openings in the window apertures are diminished by rotating the float container relative to the housing. This permits the water flow to be adjusted to the requirements of the particular toilet bowl.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lift brake for exhaust water capable of installation in a vertical drain pipe system.

Abstract: An electrically heatable welding muff for connecting plastic pipes has a heating wire winding disposed in a helical groove in its interior wall. To position the pipes to be connected snugly and accurately, longitudinal grooves are cut in the interior wall of the muff so that the material forced out of the grooves projects inwardly, forming resilient retaining tabs.

Abstract: A device for swingably mounting a toilet seat, adaptable to variations in position and distance of the toilet bowl, and for removal and repositioning of the cover without need for adjustment. The device comprises a support member having a downwardly facing cavity, engaged by an elongated carrier connected to a mounting stud. The carrier has an undercut groove in which a nut is guided as a clampable slide ring engaged by a set screw arranged in a bore in the support.
