Flushing operation should not
consume more than four (4)
gallons (14.1 litres) of water
per flushing cycle
TYPES OF PLUMBING FIXTURES:
Common Flushing Actions
Siphon jet A small priming jet hurries
the bowl’s contents into the
trap and hastens the siphon
action.
requires a flush of about
3.75 gal (14.2 L)
sometimes equipped with
flush valves, which use less
water
TYPES OF PLUMBING FIXTURES:
Common Flushing Actions
Siphon Vortex The water enters the bowl
off-center in such a way as
to form a vortex; this swirling
action cleans the sides of
the bowl and the trap,
helping the siphon action in
emptying both bowl and
trap

Washdown
considered the noisiest toilet
the most likely to become
plugged because it has the
smallest-diameter trap
usually found in the two-
piece flush tank toilet
consuming only about 2.5
gal (9.5 L)
TYPES OF PLUMBING FIXTURES:
Common Flushing Actions
Siphon Vortex suitable for low-velocity
water (often as a result of low
pressure)
the quietest, making them a
favorite wherever bathrooms
are adjacent to sleeping
areas or other acoustically
sensitive spaces
TYPES OF PLUMBING FIXTURES:
Common Flushing Actions
Siphon Vortex The one-piece flush tank
toilets usually have the
siphon vortex flushing action,
which typically requires 6 to
8 gal (23 to 30 L)

The high velocity of the
water lowers the quantity
required from 3 to 4 gal (11.4
