Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include devices and methods for detecting water loss and consumption from commercial and residential commodes. In one aspect, the device comprises a valve for water control. The water flow control device includes: (i) an inlet in fluid communication with a flow sensor, (ii) a shut-off assembly located downstream of and in fluid communication with the flow sensor, (iii) a controller configured to receive input from the flow sensor and configured to send a signal to the shut-off assembly, and (iv) an outlet located downstream of and in fluid communication with the shut-off assembly.

Claim (Index 5):
The water flow control device according to  claim 4 , wherein the valve activation solenoid assembly comprises:\n a solenoid shaft; a solenoid spring; a trigger cone; and a pair of retainer arms that pivot between a first position and a second position about pivot pins, wherein when the retainer arms are in the first position each retainer arm biases a surface of a retainer ball thereby forcing the retainer ball to interface with a radial undercut of a valve stem and when the retainer arms are in the second position each retainer arm moves away from the valve stem releasing the interaction of the retainer ball and the radial undercut of the valve stem.
