Anyone who is interested in learning about how a toilet is put together should go check out this post on Plumbing Point called Toilet Parts. They give a nice diagram that breaks the toilet down piece-by-piece. This is very useful information if you are interested in understanding how the various parts of a toilet work in conjunction with one-another. One thing that they didn't talk about in that post though is that there are several different layouts for toilets now-a-days. They give a breakdown of the classic ball float toilet but they don't ever mention the new attached float models. For those who are unfamiliar with toilet layout, old toilets used to have a ball that would float up and down to control when water should and shouldn't flow into the toilet tank. In current models they got rid of the black ball float. The float now usually comes attached to the overflow pipe and simply rises and falls as the water level changes. The concept of course is the exact same as the old toilet but they didn't mention this in that article so I thought I would point it out here. Otherwise though, their information is accurate and well said. This is my first time coming across the Plumbing Point site but I must say that from what I can see it looks like it could be a nice addition to the plumbing blog community. So if you want some more information on toilet parts, be sure to check out that link.
