One of the ways in which water is supplied through pipes for drinking, cooking and cleaning is through a system of gravity, which is an ancient system that has been in use since humanity began to take advantage of water. One of the many accessories that a gravity water supply can be connected to a toilet, which can use water by gravity to fill the toilet tank.

Water supplies by gravity
gravity water systems, as the name implies, use the force of gravity to maintain water pressure along a pipe network instead of a pressurized water system that uses a pump or other hydraulic means to maintain the Water moving through the pipe network. Gravity water supply maintains a water reservoir stored higher than the pipe network to maintain this pressure. An example of this type of systems are the visible water towers on top of residential buildings and other structures.
Hygienic operation
Toilets pulled into the water from the pipe network through a plumbing fixture is called a toilet tank fill valve. A mobile float connected to the filling valve rises and falls on top of the water in the measuring tank that is filled. When the water reaches the proper level in the reservoir, the float signals the filling valve to shut off the water supply. After the tank is emptied, the float sinks again, indicating the fill valve to open and refill the tank.
Tap water for the toilet
Gravity water supply pipes connect to the bathroom by running through any floors or intermediate walls. If feeding through a wall, notches are cut into the wall studs so that the pipes sit inside the wall space, and drywall can be placed on top of the wall studs uniformly. In some countries, water pipes to the toilet bowl run along the outside of the walls.
Connecting the Gravity supply pipe
Crown the end of the water supply line by gravity with a water supply valve, which will allow you to cut the water supply for the bathroom without having to interrupt the water supply for the rest of the house. Wrap the inlet on the bottom of the toilet fill valve with plumber's tape, and do the same with the outlet of the water supply valve. Connect a flexible tube between the two by screwing the couplings into the inlet and the thread outlet.
