Abstract: A gasket assembly includes an upper housing forming a seal with the outlet of a bathroom fixture, and a lower housing forming a seal with a sewer pipe. The lower housing has an outer surface extending along an axis and a toroidal gasket disposed in sealing relationship with the outer surface and the sewer pipe. To accommodate larger sewer pipes, the outer surface can be formed on an adapter and a second gasket provided to form a seal with the adapter. In an associated method for mounting the gasket assembly, the gasket is rolled axially in a continuous sealing relationship with the lower housing.

Abstract: A pivotable toilet flush valve member (10) is provided, of the type that includes a float (40) with a pair of holes (44, 52) that allow the float to fill with water during a flushing to close early, and where the float can be turned to vary the amount of water used during a flushing, wherein the float is constructed for easy and loose mounting on a frame (12) and for low friction rotation about a primarily vertical axis (60), and where the flush valve member has a simple detent mechanism to hold the float at any rotational position to which it is turned. The frame has an aperture (74) lying along the primarily vertical axis, and the float has a small diameter upwardly extending projection (70) that projects upwardly through the frame aperture and that is held by the walls of the aperture, for low friction turning. The detent mechanism includes an upstanding wall (100) with an upwardly-open vertical groove (102) that has a plurality of teeth on at least one side of the groove.

Abstract: A coupling is provided for the repair of flexible conduit, such as garden hose, comprising a body portion having at least one nipple for insertion into the free end of the flexible conduit. A slotted collapsible collet is radially compressed by a retaining nut thereby clamping the conduit between the nipple and the collet. The collet is generally frustoconical in shape and is reversible for retaining one size of conduit when disposed in a first direction and a larger size conduit when reversed. In order to accommodate a still larger conduit, the collet can be omitted. The body can include a second nipple which can be similarly attached to the free end of a conduit to effect repair of the conduit. Alternatively, the body can include a male or female fitting, a pair of which can be joined to effect repair of a conduit, or used separately in connection with other suitable fittings, as desired.
