Read the box! It’s a flush valve!

Apparently we need a little Plumbing Vocabulary 101 today. πŸ˜‚


See this box? It says “2-inch FLUSH VALVE.” Big letters. Right there on the front. You don’t need a magnifying glass, a plumbing degree, or a message from the heavens.


Yet somehow, somewhere, somebody decided to start calling it a “flush tower.” 🀦‍♂️


A tower? Really? Is Rapunzel living inside the toilet tank now?


It’s not a flush tower.

It’s not a toilet chimney.

It’s not the porcelain Empire State Building.

And it’s definitely not the “thingamajig that makes the toilet whoosh.”


It’s a FLUSH VALVE!


Even Fluidmaster printed the answer on the box for us. At this point, if the cardboard packaging knows more plumbing terminology than we do, we may need to schedule a refresher course. πŸ˜‚πŸ”§πŸš½


Class dismissed!
