When the link (1.1) connected to the inner center tube(1.6) is pushed from the pusher rod(3.2)downwards, the inner center tube(1.6) moves upward without disturbing outer center tube (1.3), thereby opening the outflow valve(2.1) and allowing the full quantity of water to flush the commode and as water level in the system decreases, the float(3.6) on the inner center tube(l .6) comes down, thereby closing the outlet;
When link(l .2) connected to the outer center tube(l .3) is pushed from the pusher rod(3.2) downwards, both the inner and outer center tube(1.6)&(1.3) move upward along with float(1.4) and actuator(1.5), thereby opening the outflow valve(2.1) and allow reduced quantity of water to flush the commode. As the water level decreases the actuator(1.5) will get released from its rest position and the float(1.4) will move downwards under the dead weight of water and bring both the tubes down thereby closing the outlet with the said valve(2.1).
The floats provided on the inner and outer centre tubes (1.6)&(1.3) are of different shapes and size.
Figure 2 shows the valve seat with the outflow valve. The outflow valve 2.1 is connected to the inner center tube (1.6) and sits directly on the valve seat(2.2). When the lifting of center tube (1.6) takes place, the outflow valve 2.1 opens and lets the water flow through the outlet.
Figure 3 shows the exploded view of the dual flush mechanism. At the bottom of the cistern, the valve seat 2.2 is fixed. The inner center tube (1.6) will be inserted in the housing (3.7), further it is locked with the valve seat (2.2). The float 50 mm (3.6) is then assembled with the center tube (1.6) and then incorporated in the housing (3.7). Housing (3.5) is placed over the housing (3.7) and locked with the lock hinge.

The outer center tube (1.3) with the float 45 mm(1.4) and actuator(1.5) which is assembled in prior is then accommodated in housing (3.5). The link (1.1) and link (1.2) is connected to the center tube (1.6) and center tube (1.3) respectively and further pivoted with housing (3.5) by split pins.
The pushers (3.2) are assembled with the pusher housing with the springs . This assembly will be locked with the housing (3.5) on top.
A holder (3.8) is placed in the provisions provided in the bracket (3.9) is assembled with the total assembly. The bracket (3.9) can be adjusted according to the cistern height. The two links(l.l)&(1.2) are connected to two separate co-axial center tube are provided on the top of the flush mechanism with a bracket.
The holder (3.8) helps the device to align with the holes on top of the lid and at the bottom of the cistern. The lid is then placed on the cistern after accommodating the inlet system. The bush, which is chromium plated with high finish is located in the full proof holder and fastened by M 10 nut. The part and full flush knobs (3.1) which are also chromium plated are fixed with the pusher rod and then inserted in the bush.
