Question 432General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIf water continues to trickle into the toilet bowl after the device shown in the illustration has apparently closed, the problem is likely due to _______________. Illustration GS-0155

A"A" being cocked into a fully open position
B"E" being stuck or held in a position other than horizontal
C"C" having developed a warp or ripple at the seating surface
Da problem with "H" that allows continuous low flow across the device
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) "C" having developed a warp or ripple at the seating surface. If water continues to trickle into the toilet bowl after the device shown in the illustration has apparently closed, the most likely cause is a warp or ripple in the seating surface of component "C". This would prevent a tight seal, allowing a small amount of continuous water flow to pass through the device. The other options (A, B, and D) are less likely to be the root cause of this issue.
