Abstract:
A trip lever assembly mountable through a hole of a tank wall, comprising:a rotatable stem extendable through the hole; a handle mountable to an outer end of the stem; an arm mountable to an inner end of the stem so as to rotate with the stem, the arm then being extendable along the wall; a support mountable inside the tank; and a lever mounted for pivoting on the support, with the lever then extending essentially perpendicular to the side wall through which the stem extends between a position adjacent that wall towards a position farther away from that wall; wherein a portion of the arm is positionable directly above at least a portion of the lever such that when the trip lever assembly is mounted through said tank wall hole, rotation of the handle can cause the arm to drive a wall adjacent part of the lever down, and an opposite end of the lever up.
