The presented device reduces the water consumption in toilet water tanks via maintaining an empty tank, opposed to the traditional continuously water-filled design. This modification eliminates the possibility of leaking in the flush valve located at the bottom of the tank. The novel design comprises of a two stage flush set-up: first water fills the tank, and second, the flush valve automatically...

A casing member for forming a connection between two tubular sections, said casing member having a first, cross-linked, heat shrinkable plastic layer, and a second, inner, non-crosslinked (or less cross-linked) layer. The casing member also has an electrically heatable member spaced inwardly from the first layer, for fusion bonding the second layer to the tubular sections.
