Specify “UNIBRA”  

as the flush  

valve  

Extreme simplicity characterises the  

“Unibra” —and it is positive waste  

preventer. When the handle is moved  

in any direction the valve flushes once  

and the handle must be released and  

moved again before another flush can  

take place. Made by large Aus-  

tralian Metal Company, the “Unibra”  

is guaranteed for five years. With its  

simplicity and entire absence of wear-  

ing parts, the “Unibra” is the selec-  

tion of those to whom quality is of  

paramount importance. See this valve  

working at McEwan’s —Downstairs is  

the Sanitary Ware Department.

jB, fin (per  

The sectional drawing above reveals that the  

trip Valve A, when moved by the finger B,  

allows the water in the Valve to escape, thus  

releasing the pressure, allowing the service  

water to raise the plunger from its seat and  

pass free flow of water to the pedestal. The  

Flush is easily and quickly regulated by the  

regulator D, which, when once set, should  

never be altered. Note that the plunger is  

entirely free of bucket leathers, etc., and will*  

never need attention even after many years’  

use. The Trip Valve seating is knife edge  

ground joint, which cannot perish or wear out  

like rubber or leather washers. The patented  

back pressure release Port K, is adjustable to  

ensure smooth, easy action under extremely  

high pressure, or to give added velocity to  

weak flush on very low pressure.  

£5 covers

Including standard flush  

pipe worth 15/-, the ‘Unibra’  

Flush Valve at £5 5/- is most  

attractive value.  

Specify the “Unibra” Valve  

always.
