How To Rebuild A Sloan Flush Valve 

Hello! If you are interested in learning how to rebuild the service stop; please check out my video covering that! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ATs7XamPEXI.html

I’m not a plumber by any stretch of the imagination but I really enjoy videos like this. Especially the explanation of the trap primer.

thanks! I have to install 6 toilets tomorrow and have never installed commercial toilets before. This was very helpful and I appreciate it very much. I learned a lot!

Thanks, I watched your video and successfully repaired my own apartment toilet. Saved a bundle of cash.

Hey buddy, I'm glad I'm not the only one whose dropped his tools in the bowl (lol). Once again, excellent video!!!

I like ur videos. I am an master electrician who will tackle almost any problem my customer has...handyman? U are very thorough and I appreciate ur skills and ability to slow down and explain them.

Thank you, Your vid was very comprehensive ! I understand the everyday stuff that happens on the job, (stuff dropped in the toilet, lol) but I learned a lot watching you. I appreciate your time just to help others understand. Thanks again !!!

Working over the open toilet. Have to love living life on the edge.

Thank you for posting. I just finished my 4 year building engineer apprenticeship. Have had to replace only one of these during those 4 years at my first building I was at. Wasn't this easy. I will begin working at a new building soon where it will just be myself, a Chief Engineer, and an M.A. This video will help me when I need to replace a whole kit. I will encounter a lot of new challenges, especially going from a crew of 8 to a crew of 3 now.

Not again!!!! LOL! Nice video man! Very Informative!

Heads up Andy I will be using your video in one of my Plumbing classes again thank you for the video :-)

The most helpful plumbing video I’ve seen on sloan! Thanks buddy

good stuff man I do like the realism to it people don't usually see that side of the trade. keep it up

North Florida here.I heard about aligning the hole too. I never do it. What's important in my opinion is greasing the steel disk on the handle assembly, the o ring, the valve threads for the cap. Wire brush threads if green.

Great rebuild. What were you using to record since you were using both hands?

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Really helpful.

great step by step instructions thanks for making the video

Great Video, that Sloan Repair Kit is what I need...Thanks!!!

Good video again!!! We have a leak in one of the restrooms for long time. Now I know how to fix it lol Thank you Andy, I will buy the ridged spud wrench .

GREAT VIDEO!!! I always wondered what that 3/8" line was for-thanks.

good video very well explained and not rushed thaks

Thanks. Should be getting a promotion to maintenance mechanic in the next few weeks and my first big project I want to do is go around the building and get all the flush valves and sink handle washers fixed up. They have only had breakdown maintenance for probably at least 5 years. Many leak around the spud and handle. Many handles have to be held for a good 30-60 seconds to barely get enough water through to clear the bowl. Some of the sink washers leak out the hot side if you turn on the cold, but that is a different subject. Should keep me busy for awhile. At least I know enough to keep me out of trouble, hopefully ;-)

Just a thought I had' is I would probably cover the porcelain toilet w/either a board or heavy rug or something else so as to protect it, if say your wrench were to slip 'it could easily break it, & only may God forbid! I like you're demonstrations & I am subscribing! Thanks

When do you use 1.6 or 3.5 gpf diaphrams to repair toilets if it is not labeled on the toilet?

thank you, Glad you spent the time to make it

There you mentioned the shut off valve sometimes needs to be replaced. What you didn't mention is that you have to turn the water off at the meter. Unless there is a valve somewhere else behind the wall or in the ceiling. This is usually difficult in a commercial setting.

Cool. That's the way to do it! Rebuild everything then you know it's good!

Thank you, I installed mine backward, it's works so fine, thank you.

Hey Stan! Thanks! I'm glad I could help :) You'll like the spud wrench; it's the right tool for this job!

Awesome video. Glad you spent the time to make it and post for us rookies. :)

Your video went over great with the class the loved it.

Little tip for you next time you change a toilet fixture maybe put some cardboard over the toilet so your tools don't fall in the water. Just a little tip for ya man you did a good job..

Hello, I have a question that I'd like to ask. Is there a way to attach a TOTO washlet seat to this kind of plumbing? Thanks for any replies.

The one I'm working on looks like the one yer doing, except the shut off valve is different, has the smaller cap...Thanks

just found your side great presentation thanks !!!

i loled everytime you dropped something in the toilet. As a beginner maint. tech I find myself doing that often.

I get a leak right under the vacuum breaker nut after I flush it, I'm assuming replace the vacuum breaker. Also the arm that slides inside the shut off valve slides out a little when I turn the water on. What could be the problem?

Very informative.

Use a plastic or plywood board across the mouth of the toilet to avoid dropping thing into the toilet and then you can lay everything out in plain view...makes things easier.

That's great to hear! I'm glad it was useful! I learned everything directly from someone else's experience so: I am more than happy to pass mine on to others:) Thanks, bro

shouldn't there not be card board or something over the toilet so stuff doesn't fall in ?

Use a leftover toilet seat cover to prevent dropping tools in the toilet. It could break the porcelain or get caught in the drain. Very costly problems . I love your video tho

For video quality, a lot of what you were doing was below the "screen". was camera on your head?

Bud, Where can you buy the washer that goes in the SPUD. I have a broken one but can't seem to find replacement at any plumbing shop. Is there any special name for that ?

where did you purchase that spud wrench? I can't seem to find the one your using.

Great video. Thanks for posting it bro

Great video ! Many thanks

I heard a George Carlin reference. Well done. RIP, Rufus. Also, very helpful video; thanks!

How do you get a cover off it is will not break lose with even brut force? Is it time to replace the whole thing ?

Cut a piece of plexiglass to the shape of the bowl set it under the seat and you have a shelf and it will prevent the oops oh nooo😂 nice videos👍

Now that's the correct tool aka Hex Pipe Wrench, not a channellock 😉👍.

I'm having difficulty locating where to purchase the flush valve. Could you advise me please. Are these flush valves universal? My flush valve is labeled Royal. Toilet is 1.6 gal Thank you, EXCELLENT presentation!

Nicely done! Would you believe we have a Sloan on the urinal (yes!) in the master bedroom of our house?

Good video.

Don't do as he did leaving a pipe or a spud wrench clamped on any nut or pipe as that's nut's! He had it secured but even then as an unloaded gun kills more people so could that pipe wrench fall & bust your porcelain toilet or sink or whatever. But I know this is for demonstration & I give him Kudos for it. I appreciate his & others help in project's I am no expert in. Thanks. I am just Dave the handyman & do what I can.

Cool! I am honored!

where i find parts for that kind of flush ,home depot???

how do you know which flush valve to use and which your camera would actually see what you see camera at times is too high

Thank You!

thank you for the video so far it's been the best one I've seen I do have a question on the flush handle when you push it and it don't flush but you play with the handle a little and then it goes can you tell me why it does that

Over tightening causes the seals to break down & after a short time they will not seal right as they stiffen & the flexability of them lose the sponginess it needs for to seal it with.

How do u know which kit to get , I’m referring to the gallons per flush

Is Sloan toilet valve same as urinal Sloan valve?

Thanks, have 8 to rebuild at church.

I gotta rebuild two sloan royal flusometer toilets and urinals anything I should be looking out for?

Sometimes it's very difficult to take the metal top off of the diaphragm housing. If it's very difficult I usually spray WD-40 underneath the grooves. And I also tap it with the wrench to break any kind of bond on the metal.

EXCELLENT

Question: I have one of these toilet in my apt but it won’t flush. When I use the handle it only fills the tank with water. Can you help?

Hey..i have one of these toilets in my apartment and my toilet won't flush..would like to fix it myself how would i go about doing so.

Hearing you talk about how the parts shouldn't be too tight or have any of the white tape on them made me realize how badly the people i have had work on my house before FUCKED things up.

Thanks!

W oh, another supercalifragilisticexpialidocious tutor video. Thanks.0_0. '

Hey Franqui! Thanks for watching, glad I could help!

Can that stop the toilet from dringing

your good men thank you for the tip .......

why the primer line in the flush tube? doesn't the floor drain have a trap?

I keep fixing the leaking in the body.or it flush and flush no stop,

Damn never seen a trap primer attached that way.. Pretty neat tho

Awesome each one teach one

Thank you for watching and commenting! I kinda figured by now that the "tip" about the bypass hole was BS. But, that's what I was taught and I always did it that way and it always worked so I never questioned it!

instead of using that chrome handle can i use a toilet tank

When I was younger, I always thought that "primer" pipe was something else.

Awesome and I'm only 9 years old

Thank you for not showing us the part where you stabbed your finger with the icepick trying to get the oring off

Wait til you run across the valve cover that is soo corroded you cant even remove it

You're a funny dude!

Dude! Buy a spud stop wrench! Geez

You didn't show what you were doing! The one part I needed to see

Hey my friend! Thanks for watching and commenting! That is an E-110 Ridgid Spud Wrench, you should be able to find it at home depot. I really like it! It's the perfect size, grips hard and dosen't hurt the pretty chromies! Are you redoing the spuds this time around, too? I have 4 more to replace this year and then they're all new! Mine hadn't been touched since 1986!

Hey Junior! Thanks for watching and commenting! The sloan master rebuild kit should have everything you need! Just make sure you get the right size...

Sloan has a tool for removing the spud.

Splash!

this persons voice sounds like Happy Gilmore LOL

I've gone to several schools where these valves haven't been touched in like 30+ years.

Nice vid bro but would recommend wearing rubber gloves

You should watch the video first before you post it because you’re camera is pointing the wall not the valve

Remember you're using a head camera. Much of your video is above your actual work area

I collect flushometers I am 17

i just wanted to see shit fall in the toilet lol
