Jaquar Concealed Flush Valves

A flush cock, also known as a flush valve, is a device used in plumbing systems to control the flow of water into a toilet or urinal tank for flushing purposes. It is typically located at the bottom of the tank and is responsible for initiating the flushing action when activated.

The basic design of a flush cock consists of a valve mechanism that opens and closes to allow or stop the flow of water. When the flush handle or button is pressed, it activates the flush cock, causing the valve to open and release water from the tank into the toilet bowl or urinal. This sudden rush of water creates the necessary force to remove waste materials and clean the fixture.

Flush cocks can have different types of mechanisms, including the traditional flapper valve system and more modern designs. In a flapper valve system, a rubber flapper is connected to the flush lever. When the lever is pressed, the flapper lifts, allowing water to flow into the bowl. Once the tank is empty, the flapper closes, stopping the flow of water.

Modern flush cock designs often use a dual-flush mechanism, which provides two options for flushing: a full flush and a partial flush. This feature helps conserve water by using less water for liquid waste and more water for solid waste.

Overall, the flush cock is an essential component of a toilet or urinal, enabling effective and hygienic flushing by controlling the water flow.
