Where would you most likely find a flapper in plumbing and what would it most likely be used to do?

A toilet flapper is found inside the tank of a toilet. It is a rubber stopper that rests over the water outlet. As the bowl is flushed, the apparatus lifts the flapper over the drain outlet hole. As the bowl and tank refills, the apparatus drops the flapper so it is again seated over the drain hole. Once the water in the tank reaches a certain level, the water automatically stops. Note: If your toilet constantly runs, most likely the flapper has not completely seated itself in the hole. Hard water can cause mineral deposits around the drain which prevents the flapper from seating properly. Also the rubber can become old and leak around the edges.NOTE: Not to be confused with 1920s "flappers", women who dressed in short skirts, gaudy jewelry and headbands, and were fond of dancing.
