Personal experiences with the name Kiel: | Edit. My boyfriends name is Kiel pronounced Kyle because it is the name and spelling of a town in Germany that is a twin town to the one we live in Coventry.
A flapper is a rubber mechanism in your toilet tank that is the moving part of the flush valve, sealing water into the tank and allowing water to exit the tank when you flush. Flappers deteriorate over time as a result of in-tank cleaning products and chemicals used by utilities.
Brand Differences. Different brand flappers use different ways of attaching to the fill valve in the toilet. Some brands use a rubber ring on the end of the flapper, which fits around the fill valve's tube.Other brands use a tab that inserts into the fill valve, while others have ears that fit over a hinge piece on the fill valve.raditional. Many toilets that have a flapper valve have a traditional type. The flapper itself may be made of plastic with a rubber seal on the bottom, or it may be made entirely of rubber.
