Abstract

A valve (1) for water discharge of toilets, has a valve body (2) having at least one feed port (8) and a delivery port (9); a shutter assembly (4) movable with respect to the valve body (2) between an open position and a closed position; an auxiliary channel (11), which has function of controlling the shutter assembly (4), extends from the feed port (8) to the delivery port (9) through the shutter assembly (4); a first auxiliary shutter (12) controlled electrically for selectively closing the auxiliary channel (11); and a second auxiliary shutter (34) for selectively closing the auxiliary channel (11) as a function of the pressure generated by opening of the first auxiliary shutter (12). This valve configuration is effective because it allows controlling high flow rates with little effort. Although valves with auxiliary channels have proven to be reliable, they are not efficient in closing shutter assembly.
