A shroud apparatus which mounts under a wall-mounted lavatory to enclose the trap of a lavatory is disclosed. The shroud has upper and lower rearward attachment regions which are hidden by the walls of the shroud when the shroud is viewed from the front. The shroud defines a hollow interior portion which is upwardly open to receive the trap. It also includes a shroud fastening element in its upper rearward attachment region and a securing element that cooperates with said shroud fastening element so as to restrict the forward movement of the shroud. A connector is attachable to the bathroom wall and to the lower rearward attachment region of the shroud.

Shroud for lavatory trap

There is disclosed a float valve assembly of the type especially well suited to control the flow of inlet water to a toilet tank having a lavatory defined by its cover. The invention relates in particular to a means of making the fitting suitable for use in toilets having different optimal fill levels, and in particular to a means of adjusting the fill level which involves rotation of the rod attached to the float ball on its longitudinal axis. A lead screw-type mechanism causes a connecting linkage to move along the rod into response to such rotation.
