Summary:Improvements in a toilet flapper that is formed from an assembly of stainless steel components. The flapper includes hinge pivoting arms, the main body and the float as an integrated assembly. The integrated assembly is made from stamped and formed thin stainless steel sheet metal components that provide sufficient buoyance to allow the flapper to open and close. The toilet flapper made from stainless steel for the float to be sufficiently sized to fit within the throat of the drain pipe and also provide sufficient buoyancy for operation. The toilet flapper made from stainless steel for the flapper to remain flat. The seat remains flat because the stainless steel is essentially not affected by chemicals or age. The stainless steel is preferably 300 series and more preferably 304 stainless, but other types will provide similar sealing and structural functionality.
