Abstract:
1. A flush actuator assembly for use with a flush valve having a relief valve post comprising: a) a base having a bore extending therethrough, wherein the base has a central longitudinal axis, said base including external threads; b) a plunger rod having a central longitudinal axis passing therethrough, wherein the plunger rod is positioned within and guided by the bore of the base; c) a movable handle for moving the plunger rod within the bore, the movable handle mounted to the base which, when the handle is moved, displaces the plunger rod within the bore, said handle comprising a face plate that coacts with the plunger rod and wherein the handle is pivotable causing the face plate to pivot and coact with the plunger rod; d) an outer casing threadably secured to the external threads of said base; e) visual indicia disposed on and, at all times, non-movable relative to the outer casing on an external surface of said outer casing, wherein during installation of said flush actuator assembly, said visual indicia identifies a non-axisymmetric orientation of the bore relative to the base central axis passing through the plunger rod, wherein the orientation of the bore relative to the base central axis is indicative of a volume of water passing through the flush valve for a flush cycle when the handle is moved in a first direction and wherein the indicia permits an assembler to orient the bore relative to the relief valve post; and f) wherein the bore has a bore central longitudinal axis that is offset from the central longitudinal axis of the base passing through the plunger rod and wherein the offset of the bore central longitudinal axis from the base central longitudinal axis is between 0.01 and 0.04 inches.
