How does a cable dual flush work?
Dual flush toilets employ a larger trapway (the hole at the bottom of the bowl) and a wash-down flushing design that pushes waste down the drain. Because there’s no siphoning action involved, the system needs less water per flush, and the larger diameter trapway makes it easy for waste to exit the bowl.

Can I use coaxial cable without connectors?

Are twist on coax connectors good?
Twist-on connectors are not recommended. Since no tool is used to secure the connector, twist-on coax always has a weaker signal than the other types of coax on top of being more flimsy. At best, twist-on connectors can be used as a short-term solution or as an emergency field repair.
Are flush valves universal?

How do I know which flush valve seal I need?
An easy reference is to look at the size of the flush valve drain opening in the bottom of the tank. If it’s about the size of an orange or baseball, you need a 2 inch seal. If it looks more like the size of a grapefruit or softball, you need a jumbo 3 inch seal.
