UHET DUAL-FLUSH TOILET
Niagara’s Stealth ultra-high-efficiency dual-flush toilet is equipped with two flush options: 0.5 gal. per flush for liquids and 0.95 GPF for solids. It includes a low-friction ceramic surface and fully glazed 2″ trapway. When the half flush button is depressed, the Stealth Vacuum-Assist Power Chamber is sealed off to form a suction that prevents the water inside from being included in the flush. The suction force then pulls the waste- water into the trapway and as water empties from the tank, the trapway is filled completely.
