@@robertsparks7244 Toto or bust, in my opinion. I would (and have in a previous house) gone with the Drake line. Your choice of color and height are your own, and get the highest gpf (gallon per flush) as you can find unless you’re on a overworked or under-maintained septic system.
830VBGB currently unavailable on amazon as of 2021. home depot (glacier bay is a home depot in house brand) customer support 800 line and store do not have any replacement valves. in fact I was told by staff to never buy dual flush. They recommended I buy a whole new toilet instead. Insane. I avoid that store now. But Lowes is nasty too.
Thank you for your question. Yes the valve canister can be changed out without changing the base, although we would recommend just replacing the flush valve seal with model 83SGB. Fluidmaster recommends replacing the base immediately if you are using chlorine tablets, if the valve is in excess of 15 years, or you do not know the history of that toilet. For more information visit our website Fluidmaster.com/support for videos, troubleshooting tips, email, chat with a technician or call toll free 800-631-2011. We are available 5 days a week Mon-Fri from 5:30 am - 5:00 pm PST.
Where in the world do you get that wide of a channel lock? We are dealing with this issue right now and tried 2x to go to Home Depot to get a wide enough tool - even a wrench - to go around the same thing that you have (we also have a 3") and nothing is working?
We suggest using a brand called Channel Locks. The wrenches come in different sizes and the larger ones will open in excess of 4 inches for those larger nuts like the flush valves. If you need help with your installation please contact Fluidmaster’s Technical Service Department as we are available Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM through 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.

The 830 flush valves will fit Quality Craft, Project Source and Glacier Bay models of dual flush toilets. The flush system was not designed for the Maxwell so we can’t say for sure, however if you’re willing to try it give Fluidmaster a call and ask for the manager (Michael L) he will help with a sample product for you to try.
Really? I have to remove the entire tank and detach the water pipe? Who designed this stupidity? Must be a Millennial. Glacier Bay, no, never ever again. You lost me forever. This is the unpardonable sin in plumbing.
Thank you for your comment, removing the tank to replace a flush valve is pretty standard practice with 2 pc toilets, however, using the Glacier Bay Dual Flush toilet allows you to replace the canister without removing the entire tank which is a much easier way to maintain your toilet for years.
