Step-by-Step Guide - Korky Universal Toilet Repair + Flush Handle Upgrade! 

Korky Universal Kit: amzn.to/3Ljw4M2 Korky Flush Handle and Arm: amzn.to/3VkKPTb

You should do more videos. You have a real talent for clear and concise explanations. Thank you.

This video 100 times better than the official Korky video. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Thank You! I am 72 years old and changed out my toilet tank fill valve! Feeling positively strong. 😉 thank you.

WOW GREAT instructional video. 100 times better than the official Korky instructional video. You covered everything:) Thanks man.

The tip at seven minutes is so helpful, I encourage others to get those extra washers and install as video shows.

Excellent presentation with helpful additions - thanks for putting this out there. One thing I found useful as I installed this same kit without any assistance was to have a level handy for the tank install. The supplied Korky tank gasket in my kit was not fitted to the impression of the locknut as yours was and when I installed the tank (suggest having the mounting bolts in before placing the tank) the tank sat quite high above the toilet base and by using the level, I was able to mount it front to back/side to side without guesswork. Your tip about having the flange side up ("this side up" ) on the flange nut as well as the notation on the instructions helped when I hand tightened the water supply and could not figure out why it was still leaking. Your efforts are appreciated and your method of delivering information is easy to understand. A real-world answer to the vids produced by the makers.

This tutorial was 🔥. Man you saved me a lot of time and frustration with your step by step approach. Thank you again

Your video was clear and easy to follow. You took the time to explain each step and did close ups to show what you were talking about. I thank you and appreciate your video. I feel like I will have no issues putting this toilet replacement kit on.

Probably one of the easiest videos to follow for fixing things. Well Done !

Thank you Sir for putting out a very well edited video! The step by step in detail was spot on !! This only took me 1 hour to do ..Thank you and God speed 🙏🙏

Thank you very much. I followed step-by-step and got it installed. Great video for doing it right. The extra parts you recomended were also installed.😀

Thank you! Very helpful! The suggestion to add the gasket and washers underneath the tank was great!

Using butterfly drill bit is an excellent tip that saved my day. Thank you so much man!

Just installed two with the same handle upgrade thanks to Wesley!!! Great vid...thank you!!! 👍

Fantastically clear and concise . Loved you showing us exactly what extra items to get at the home supply store

Bro! This was so...not fancy or distracting. = to the damn point for its purpose. = PERFECT. DETAILED. PLAIN SIGHT. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for this video. I am not a handyman, DIY kind of guy. I watched the recommended Korky video, then yours came up right behind it. I watched, I saw, I was successful. Thank you!!

I don’t know the other people what they commenting about this video, but from my side I’m very glad to see this video and I hope this video will help me in future, and I need to thanks to you sir.

Thank you for making this video. It is very well done and helpful. You saved me a lot of time replacing two of the three parts.

Thanks for the video! I'll be installing this same system in the near future

Best installation video! This is what I'll be doing today.

There are lots of videos on RU-vid about fixing and repairing all sorts of things. But this video was one of the clearest and best I've ever seen, and I''ve just almost finished replacing my Korky. I said "almost", because in a false economy move, they have not included a second set of nuts to secure the ciatern to the pan, and also left out a couple of rubber washers which woud make the job much more waterproof, so I'm going to have to go out to my local hardware store to source some small bits. Grrr...But thanks for a great video.

Great video! Very clear presentation. Good job!!

Thanks mate. You're a champ. I just changed out my system using your video. Much appreciated. Blessings.

AWESOME EXCELLENT video on explaining this kit, GREAT JOB!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

This was very good and extremely helpful thank you

Excellent explanation and demo of fixing and installation. Thanks!

Thank you for your help. This video was awesome and very helpful.

Wes - fantastic instructional video with useful tidbits of information to avoid mistakes as well as to do the job right! Long story short - I just finished doing all of this tonite (I am 62 and every stop of the way was drudgery). I had a wet floor (even with towels lol) I have a fan in there overnight and a bucket under the valve / water line. I think I have a drip over that side - so hope to find that in the a.m. I had seen another video where someone suggested adding extra red washers/nuts on outside of tank prior to mounting to bowl. I wish I had done that. Whether I find any leak at all - I am going to go ahead and buy the extra bolts tomorrow and remove the tank --- again -== an add the red washers/nuts. I would rather have a sure thing than 'hope' there is never a leak at those two bolts. I think - if there is a leak - it is from probably putting that little black plastic nut on the bottom of the fill valve thingy - the nut that says THIS SIDE UP. Will find out tomorrow - too worn out to fight that tonight. I am happy with the kit - the included parts, the quality of the plastic - (hate plastic but the way of the world), the instructions are pretty good - but your instructions made it all so much clearer.

Super helpful!

Awesome bro! You are a legend for this video!!!

Thank you, great job

Hey, man. Got this same kit and planning to fix and upgrade my apartment room's toilet. Damn thing just keeps running if you don't jiggle the handle and whatnot. I was somewhat hesitant about how to install it and whatever. So I was very thankful to found this vid. It's going to save me and my big brother a lot of headaches and frustration.😅

Super. Thank you for your video. It helped me a lot.

Thank you for the very helpful video!

Great video.Just bought one too install later.

The drilling part , golden idea , came in handy when removing the old flusher. Thank you

Fantastic. Looks like you have a natural Flair to communicate. First of all this video wasn't about you, it was all about the installation. You didn't have your dog or cat in there with you which is refreshing. You just moved along quickly and did a great explanation. You didn't go too fast and you didn't go too slow. Just a great job thank you very much

Great walkthrough! This was very helpful. Thank you

Great video just wish i would have found it earlier lol. I have to redo it and use your neat tips and tricks, thanks man.

Thank you for your illustrations!!!!!

Thank you for your video’s it help me to fixed my washroom fittings

Thank you so much, your video was very helpful!!!

After the 1st install I had leak a and then we found your video, we took everything apart and added the double rubber washer, we had zero leak . Very help video, thank you.

Thank for the video!

Helpful thanks.

EXCELLENT review, perfect pitch voice and I love all the demonstration you provided. I'm not a plumber, but I like to think I'm a do it your selfer, thank you so much...Kudo's 2 U !!

Thank you very much! Very helpful for new hands.

Thank you!

Thank you sooo much, will be my first time. Very clear instructions!!

Great video, thank you

excellent job!!

Thank you Man....great video save me a lot of time.

This video is the very best video. If you dont use the extra seal washer nut under the bowl it will leak. That is why i ran across your video. I truly appreciate the time you spend on explaining the steps of install. I dont understand the 26 dislikes. Smh

Thank you so much for your video , it helped me tremendously.

very helpful thank you

You make so easy thank you❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the video

WOW a great video thank you SIR hats off keep it up!!!!

I very much Appriciate this vedio. I had exactly the same old fixture. Mahalo

excellent video with lots of helpful tips.

Thanks a lot .Great video

Dude, you can teach anything!!!!!

Great instructor!!

I’m almost there. My older home doesn’t have a shut off valve on the supply line. I need to change that ASAP. Great video.

Thanks!. I watched a couple of these and by far yours was the best video especially with the great camera angle. Going to redo mine tommorow and add the additional rubber gasket because of all the things the new corky system leaks at the bolt. Also love that you mention size of wrench you needed

Very helpful.

You saved me. I installed without extra washers below bowl and water went everywhere. Got extra rubber and metal washers and nuts from Mansfield kit and all good. Thanks.

There are a lot of instructions about fill lines - and adjustments on that flapper - I still have to read all that a few more times and follow the instructions - but first - the leak and adding the red washers/nuts to outside of the tank on the tank to bowl bolts. Thank you again, Cheryl in SC

Best video

A great video!!!

I wish I would have watched this one beforehand and took your advice to get the extra tank bolt kit for the extra washer. Couldn’t get mine to stop leaking. Great job man with this video. Well done!! Going to get the extra washer now…

nice dude.

A great video.... waaaaaaaaay better than the factory install video. This is money saved! I wonder what a plumber would charge to do all that?

Thanks!

Thank you for your time and posting. I watched this a couple of times. Then at 5:58, you put in the centerpiece, the hole for my center piece is much larger and the Korky piece fall through, so back to the store.

It's not rocket science, it's toilet science.

yea...excellent...thank you..i liked and subscribed...

you made that look easy

thanks

great job. i will subscribe!!

Great video. I wish I watched this before I ran to Lowe's to buy a 16 inch wrench in my struggle to get the mounting nut for the tank off. I could have spent $5 to $10 on the drill bit instead of $30 on the wrench and save 30 minutes of frustration! I'll check you channel first before undertaking similar projects.

Simply the Best you should you should charge a lot of money for this

You did not mention setting the height of the fill valve and positioning of the fill and flush valve. I think that is very important as well.

How I wish they had used wing nuts on the underside of the bolts. Grrr Great video. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! I think I'm going to do the exact same thing today. Love the oil rubbed bronze look trying to get most of the fixtures we have to be the same color. #Salute

This is the second one for the basement bat. ru-vid.comUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

Buena explicación

thx!

Hey super helpful video I literally just did this tonight in my toilet and I was wondering that there was some water kind of dribbling out of some of the components as you state that that’s normal and I was like oh cool that addressed my question is exactly why I watched your video in the first place so thank you

Thanks so much my man. You just helped me so immensely. You were very clear and precise yet simple with your explanations. I was a bit weary of taking on this job but you showed me exactly what I needed to do and I am fully confident I can accomplish it. You rock. Also I must say thanks for the tip on adding the extra washer underneath the tank bolt. Extra security is always a plus. You got a ÷1 subscribe from me. Keep it going and stay safe out there. 🙏💛🐶✌

Wes, you saved my day! Out of all of the instructional videos I viewed, yours was definitely the best and most concise. My only problem is, I need to hold the handle down to get it to flush. If I hold and release it doesn’t work. Help!?

8:18 I seen another video and dude said dont drop it in the hole like u did. He said it can siphon water out the tank. And water will keep running. He said thats the reason they give that clip, because the tube needs to be at the top of that overflow tube so that it wont syphon. But i do it like you and had no problems. But im tripping now and thinking maybe its best to do it with the clip. But i thru my clip away becuase i did it like u did. And i have done it your way to all of mine and never had problem. But real talk , now my brain is tripping ✌️

As many other viewers have noted...excellent presentation. I've heard that the adjustable type of flush valves have a problem with leaking eventually, or even right after installation. Many users have mentioned the sound of running water and tank level lowering with adjustable flush valve. Have you had any issues with them, or heard any feedback? BTW, for Gerber owners, I got a fixed height Korky flush valve for a 1985 Gerber which requires a thicker than standard tank-to-bowl seal, and there's no way the seal fits the round Korky locknut to make contact with the tank bottom. But it works just fine with a standard hex locknut.

Can the fill valve be adjusted once you replaced everything?

Very helpful. Will you do a video showing how to replace the commode from the floor with new phlange and bottom of commode? Someone replaced one of my commode phlanges years ago with a 3 inch inside. Should have been 4 inch outside. I have had roots come up from it into the bathroom from the outside of the in foundation pipe. It is also not stable. Now I must figure ot how t cut the glued inside pvc plange out to replace with an outside.

You should pay attention to the supply line anyway. The toilet i replace the internals on today had a rigid supply line that wasn't long enough to reach the Korky system i installed.

My installation seemed to go well without the extra washers on bolts and no leaks for several days and started to use the toilet again for a few days without any problems all ok only noticed the water level in the bowl was too low (not sure if i can readjust the fill valve upwards without taking it completely out?) and there are some stationary bubbles on the heads of the two bolts and at the bottom of the fill valve. However after a few days of no leak problems i got a bit concerned about the toilet rocking on the vertical and i thought if i tightened the nuts around the bolts that might help - however the result was leaking from the bolt on the right side post flushing, after tightening, and especially when i open the main water supply full enuf so it does not take 5 minutes to fill And then another problem - as i increased the water pressure from the pipe a banging noise started sounding like a tractor in the pipes which would disturb the neighbor in the apartment below and perhaps the neighbor adjacent if i did not shut it down almost completely off (this did not happen with the old tank inserts). So we are back to using just the toilet in our ensuite second bathroom. HELP PLEASE. thks

Thank you for this informative and well-explained video! I just have one question: by how much should we shorten the links on the chain that connects the flapper to the handle (how many links should we take out?)
