These 2 videos in the series helped me do my first toilet repair! Total cost for parts was $65 and hiring a plumber would have been at least $200+. Thank you!
Finally a channel that details everything - first time looking in a toilet and I now know exactly what the problem is and what I need in order to fix it. THANK YOU 🙌🏻 🎮🔥
The best tutorial on the internet. I'm a 58 year-old female and had a great time replacing my flush valve thanks to this video! Oh yes, and the pride of a job well done :-)
Didn't have a clue how to replace our flush valve, but from watching this video, I was able to replace it completely, and knew exactly what I was doing. Thank you so much for uploading this.
This video came out 8 years ago and Im still working on this issue...I watch the video every day like my dad says to do but I JUST. CANT. DO IT! #JUST KIDDING # PIECE OF CAKE BRO
OMG....this looks very professional....but so wrong on some points.....that black washer thats thicker on one side than the other?...is an overflow washer for a bathtub! I'm 56...been a plumber since Jr. High....now a Master/ Journeyman...most so-called plumbers overlook a simple adjustment in the fill tube...(the flexible tube down in the overflow)...they will tear apart the whole thing and never get it to stop running.....this guy has no business making this video...this would take hours...(notice the edits)....and with plumbers charging about $100.00 an hour? I could have this toilet completely rebuilt ...(if necessary) in 45 mins....completely. There are more "Tricks to the trade" in plumbing than any other.
@Mr23skeedo1 1. Fluidmaster. 2. Adjusting the height to the flush valve would affect the amount of water in the tank which in turn affects the flush. So if you have any issues with your flush then just adjust the float to allow the tank to fill with more water.
Thanks for the great video. TWO QUESTIONS: 1. I like the replacement valve you used- what brand is it? 2. The original Valve on my toilet holds the flapper real close to the tank bottom. Replacement Flush Valves seem to elevate the flapper an extra inch or two above the bottom of the tank floor. Would this cause tank capacity problems for me? Do I need to get a valve that is low like my original one? Thank you.
@cuby1954 The flush valve could also be not sealing correctly. On our channel there is a diagnostic section playlist for toilet repairs. Take a look at it to find other problems.
I have an unusual question -- What is the free-floating 'screw' inside the inlet of a Kohler toilet fill valve for? It's immediately inside the bottom of the tube, where the water supply connects. It looks like a small auger and has a copper bushing on one end. I appears as though it spins as water flows past it, but it does not seem to serve any purpose. Any thoughts or ideas?
Am I the only one that thinks all of this is unnecessary? My toilets rubber flapper is not sealing well. So instead of being able to replace just the the rubber flapper. I have to disassemble the tank and replace the whole valve assembly and related hardware!? Huge design fail!
Also to add; The part of the flush valve that the water fills into is actual ceramic built in to the toilet so given what I know, I can't replace the flush valve as there really isn't one. Just a flapper hooked to the flusher and a ceramic valve for water.
I have a very old toilet that requires excessive jiggling and a forceful upward jerk on the handle to prevent it from either 1) constantly running or 2) occasionally refilling after the water leaks The flapper valve doesn't mate with any sort of gasket or seat inside the back of the toilet. Instead its sort of oniony shaped and the pointed end goes inside the valve while the wider end meets up with only ceramic. Could this be why it requires so much coaxing to prevent water waste? Thanks!
No. Aluminum will corrode and get stuck in place. They used to make them out of brass and those did last a long time but you're screwed when you need to remove one 70 years later. I prefer plastic because it doesn't break down.
You should take the silly warning off at the end. Why would you care if someone was to copy an educational video that any one can find in a plumbers hand book any way? That would be like me making a video of how to boil water, then threatening people to not copy the video.
STOP !!! Before you do all this purchase a new FLAPPER - many times this is all you need to replace and it only takes a minute. A plumber once told me buy KORKEY brand flappers - I found this to be good advice.
