A toilet bowl and rim construction capable of generating superior vortex flushing action. A rim restrictor means is strategically positioned on a side of the rim to direct the bifurcated streams of water to converge at the side of the rim. The relocation of the contact point from the conventionally placed central position to a strategically located side position increases the velocity and force on the water stream. Control of the volume, flow rate and directional orientation of the flushing water into and within the rim cavity and through rim discharge orifices produces superior vortex flushing action.
