Universal toilet lever

摘要

A universal kit for installing a flush lever (22) on a toilet water tank wall (12A), and a toilet with the kit components installed therein, whereby the same components can be used to quickly and efficiently install the handle on the front face, side face, or angled portion of the toilet tank. The kit comprises a fixture (66) for mounting a flush rod actuation handle (20) on a tank wall, whereby the handle can be rotated about an axis (58, 60) extending perpendicularly from the wall into the tank. A flush rod (34) is angulated in three dimensions and has opposite end portions (36, 38), having the same shape, such that either end portion is selectively securable in the mounting fixture (66) for corotation with the handle.
