This is the clearest video on how to replace the flush valve and his voice is very calming and relaxing.

Wow, thanks!

Hi Mr Wakefield, I was so pleased to come across your RU-vid segment on how to fix a running toilet! I'm an Aussie lady currently in lockdown due to the Covid virus and couldn't get a plumber to fix the toilet which was running all the time, the only time it didn't was when I turned off the water intake tap so I wasn't wasting water. Being in my 60's now and recently divorced I no longer have my husband to do all the plumbing (!!) so I decided to do some research and fix it myself. And while I was looking on the internet I found your piece! Fifteen minutes after watching, my toilet problem was fixed! So I saved myself a lot of money calling out a plumber and now I feel so self-confident because I did it myself! Thank you so much!

@breannfredrickson8302 3 года назад

This is so helpful! My dad was a plumber and would normally help me out with all these kinds of things but he passed away last year so I'm trying to navigate these household things myself! He'd be proud that I'm doing it on my own- I appreciate these videos! Off to Lowe's I go!

@RogerWakefield 3 года назад

Breann Fredrickson I'm proud that you are doing it as I am sure that your dad is too. I wish I could get my grand-daughters to take up plumbing. What do you do for a living?

@breannfredrickson8302 3 года назад

@@RogerWakefield I now have a leak coming from the seal, I think. Water is off and I'll be taking a closer look again later today! I work as a contracts & assignments specialist at a university- I help all of our incoming students secure housing!

@StuartMcconney 2 года назад

Good value. Clear succinct and to the point. 80% of the diy video on RU-vid should be looking at this video as a benchmark. From one trainer/instructor to another, well done, take a bow.

@wg3927 7 месяцев назад

This video was 5 years ago but it still helps people. It helped me. I just lifted the flush valve and clean around it. It stopped the leak. Thank you Mr. Wakefield. We've been paying $100 more than average bill. The water company sent a reminder that we might have leaks and to check everything.

@RogerWakefield 7 месяцев назад

Good on the water company for giving a heads up!

@carolcantwell4107 3 года назад

Thank you Roger! Your videos make it easy for a single girl such as myself to feel empowered enough to try these repairs. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and explain every step to us lay people!

@kathyraph2995 2 года назад

Great instructions. You made it seem less intimidating. I took your advice and replaced both the flush valve and the fill valve - was glad I did! Easy peasy!

@debbielea6346 3 дня назад

Thank you!! I'm a , 70 year old widow and I think I can do this!!

@1texasminer 2 года назад

That was good information. A quality, easy to view, well explained instructional video. Most videos relating to toilet leak repairs are about flapper valve or fill valve replacements. Thanks for going into the repairs a little deeper, with detailed, step by step instructions on this particular job.

@MT-pp1dg 3 года назад

Great video! My husband and I followed all your steps and our toilet works great! Thank you so much for your video!

@weirddeere 3 года назад

Thank you for the clear and succinct video, shows the details of what isn't too complicated of a job. I probably spent more time getting tools from the shed then working on it. Then dealing with a completely rotted and stuck tank to bowl bolt. Ground the head off from the inside and made that much easy!

@timothybaer6552 Год назад

As a 42 year old man I say this without a hint of sarcasm: Thanks, dad.

Great video Roger. The cut out display makes it easy to follow what you're doing. You have a mellow, plainspoken style that's also really engaging. Nicely done!

@momulesr 4 года назад

@user-wo9ub2bl1q 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the videos Roger and easy to understand instructions. My tank has 3 bolts instead of 2 and when the flush valve was turned all the way it was difficult to screw in the 3rd bolt. I resolved this by rotating the flush valve back. Also my bolt replacements came with rubber tapered washers for 2 per bolt along with a metal washer. Took a couple tries to realize I only needed the rubber washers inside the tank and not on both sides. The metal washers I used for the 3 nuts to avoid cracking the porcelain. Because my original bolts and nuts had fused together (replaced with brass plated hardware), it took about 2 hours to saw them off with a metal hacksaw and round handle since this was the only way to access the bolts. As an Information Technology Manager and professional trainer, your video seemed to only handle the "happy path" under ideal conditions and didn't address older or less optimal edge cases. Still Roger , I appreciated your presentation and have subscribed to your channel. Like computer software, you also need to account for the exceptions, and I'd also be interested to know exactly how the fill valve works internally to shut off the water. Seems like the float is restricted to a certain level that somehow stops the flow of water coming into the toilet. Then again that the way geeks are we want to know how everything works.

@mkvectra 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had to fight with my tank bolts for a bit but I got it done! This video helped me a lot!

@BlackJack719 2 года назад

@PJMarsosudiro 3 года назад

Wow! Thanks so much for this lesson. I foolishly thought that I could change the flush valve without taking the tank off. Now I know better!

@reidmason4995 3 года назад

Fantastic video, I’ve changed out many flush kits but never a valve, I broke one of the tips that holds the flapper so I had to change the valve, this made it super easy, thanks
