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.
The flapper is the large rubber piece at the bottom of the tank and is usually connected to a chain which is then connected to a metal or plastic arm. The flapper sits on top of the flush valve, sealing the flush valve to prevent water from entering the toilet bowl until the toilet is flushed.
