Fluidmaster Universal Kit Install in Mansfield Toilet 

This video was very helpful. I tried doing this years ago and it took forever. I couldn't get the tank level. After watching this, I think I can handle it next time. The son/cameraman was a great touch. 🙂

Thumbs up for the comment about needing an extra bolt! Didn't even cross my mind until you said it. I was about to start this project, but now I got to run back and get another bolt👍

A rep at Fluidmaster tried to tell me that this kit wouldn't work on a Mansfield toilet. After consulting with a few other sources I decided to try it, and it works just fine. Just make sure you tighten the tank to bowl nuts evenly. And although you don't want to over tighten them you do want to go a turn past hand tighten or they can loosen and cause a leak. This kit provides much better flushing power than a crummy Mansfield plunger valve.

After watching this video, I now feel confident in replacing my flush valve and fill valve, thanks man.

Thanks so much!! I’m a single mom and you probably saved me a few bucks showing me how to do it myself!!

Tip, flip those channel locks so they tighten as you turn

Thank you! This video made it possible for me to fix instead of replace.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is the only video that doesn’t speed up and give half-baked explanations! I followed right long with you (after I unscrewed the nuts) and it wasn’t bad. I had my cordless earphones on, so as you were speaking and explaining, I was putting it together. Not bad for a 60 year old woman with arthritis and weak muscle tone! For what it’s worth, my kit was just like your kit, but mine came with tools (which was why I sought out your video…I thought it was part of the commode fixtures). 😅 Oh! And it also came with three bolts and screws. But it ONLY came with three screws, three nuts, three washers and three gaskets (rubber washers). So I used one of the washers from the old fixture and a couple of tiny rubber bands to hold the washer in place as I was placing the tank back in it’s spot. And I covered the bolts with coconut oil so it won’t rust…hopefully. Thank your son for breaking the handle for me. Your video really helped!

Who needs a plumber when you have video clips like this 😅

Thank you, very thorough video! This is exactly what I needed to fix my old Mansfield toilet.

You should have cut the overflow tube extension so it is below the handle opening about an inch. so if the shut-off valve does not shut the water off. Then the excess water can go into the overflow tube this is a safety measure. If the overflow tube is as high as the handle the water can leak and go all over your floor and keep running until you notice it.

My tank was leaking after following the instructions that came with the flush valve. Problem solved after applying the extra washer and hex nut right below the tank as you suggested. Thank you very much!

Whenever you’re dealing with a thread and nut from above, you need to reverse “righty tighty, lefty loosey”. (It’s the same rule, but optically its different.” That’s why your valve seemed to be the reverse. This also made you put your thread tape on in the reverse way. Aside from that and cutting your fill tube to be below your flush handle, this was a great video.

Thank you this video helped a lot

Thanks. 👍

This video has enabled me to complete my to do toilet project perfectly. too good

This the exact video i needed to complete my toilet fix that i've been putting off. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼

Thank you so much for this thorough video! It helped give me the confidence to take on a project I would have normally paid someone to do. Appreciate the time and effort you put into the video.

Thank you I was about to pay 200 for labor , and I watched the video and it was easy 😀

I'm getting ready to watch with my fingers crossed this video solves my issues. I have a Mansfield #106 toilet and am replacing both the flush and fill valves. However, I did not buy the kit. Instead bought the 2 units separately. I've removed both units and all is going well.....until I go to put the new units into the tank. Foe the life of me I can not figure out the height for the new fill and flush valves. To make it even worse, the inside of the tank was gross so I cleaned it without marking a water line. It's sat torn apart in my bathroom for three days now 😅😢

Should have mentioned that there are two different thicknesses of nuts. The thinner nuts should go against the bottom of the tank and thicker nuts on the bowl side.

Excellent presentation 👍🙏

Great video

Only issue is some instructions say to put bolt, rubber washer, then rubber washer, metal washer, nut under tank then finally metal washer, nut. Gives extra protection for water leaks from tank. wish my kit came with extra rubber washers for extra protection.

Thank you very much for this video. Exactly what I needed

Should have had a rubber washer on the underside of the tank bolts before the metal washer and nut. Then hand tighten, then go 1/4 turn. Don't use plumbers tape on your supply line. No need. The part has a rubber gasket, neither side of your new supply line needs to be taped.

If I didn’t buy extra bolts can I use the 2 bolts from the kit and one of the old bolts?

After he flipped the tank it does show rubber washers on the underside of the tank, which is proper.

Did you have an issue with the tank wobbling as it sits atop that giant tank-to-bowl gasket?

"Can you please tell me the diameter of the circular whole inside the box? Is it 5.08 cm, which equals 2 inches?"

What made you decide to not use the Mansfield parts this time?

Much Easier to open the bolt inside the tank

Please put the fluidmaster fill valve on the tank in the other toilet 🚽 tank in of the other toilet 🚽 🚽and make video 📹

U may get better use out of ur (channel locks) if you was not using them backwards
