I had never worked on this type of toilet before. Got a call at 2am saying the toilet won't stop flushing. This video saved me a bunch of headaches. Thanks man.
You sir are a true MVP tonight. I’m in the military and my room has this style of toilet. We were afraid it would over fill with the amount of water being released. You helped us find out how to stop the water.... THANK YOU SIR!!!!
I have to say Thank you for this video, I don't have any plumbing experience and I was able to stop the commode from continuously running water for nearly a minute down to 7 seconds.
I just started a maintenance position. I'm learning as I go . I don't know how to solve a problem is I never came across it before. I had never had to fix one of this things . But I know now . Thank you brother.
you appear to be somewhat local to me. south of Boston, MA. i've been in the wholesale heating, a/c system design/sales and trouble shooting. from what i've seen from your videos you're thorough. you have tools that 8 out of 10 guys don't. you go through many extra steps that most won't do. you use the tools for what they are meant for. if the videos are only a small portion of how you operate you should be proud, you're better than most i've seen in the 30 years i've been doing this. keep it up.
Bro no BS i work for Citizens Bank (facilities) as Maintenance Tech 2. My background is mostly residential experience high rise etc. First time doing commercial work. Had no clue how to fix this as I got a service request stating it just flushes non stop or wont flush at all. Thanks to you I watched this at Home Depot and immediately bought 10 of these $24 for one. Pricey! Luckily I have an account with HD! Anyways thank you so much for this! Im sure it helped many others! Cheers from Revere Ma
Son texted me from the local swimming pool where he works as manager. "Toilet won't stop running---any ideas?" Checked out your video. Problem solved. Thanks!
Real simple. Thanks man I'm gonna give it a try. I have a tankless in my house bc I like the flush pressure but I need to fix it. I'll see if cleaning the existing valve works first.
I've only changed about a thousand of those diaphragms Steve...LOL. Had a plumber at the old hospital that used to break down the kits, and make us just change the parts needed :( But like you said, change the whole thing and don't have to come back for a while. I like the way you think brother! Great job.
I'm maintenance for police/jail and constantly cleaning or replacing. After yearly back flow testing I'm guaranteed over time because just about all toilets and urinals will be loaded with rust and rock. Sometimes having to clean out 2 or 3 times.
After watching this video, I feel like I was in the matrix and just booted this information up into my brain. I even now how to speak some plumber now, some things get all mucky.
Question the screw to shut it off can it be change mines is all mees and treated wanted to change ot before it gets worse and I'm not able to thamx great video I was able to fix my toilet because this video really appreciate it
I run into this alot. I will put a 1.6 in and if it's a weak flush I will go up to the 3.5 and vice versa if it's too strong. 1.0 and under are for urinals
I have the same issue on a Sloan 1.5 gallon urinal. I got the flushometer, but my stop valve has a vanity cap on it that just spins in both directions without coming off. Thoughts on how to get the vanity cap off without damaging the valve? Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a small urinal (the stand-up one). It's the Sloan brand, but I don't know the model or the GPM. Do you know which flushometer I need? I went to the local store, and there were 4-6 different models of Sloan! The problem that I have with this urinal is sometimes the water just runs very strong for 1-5 mins after flushing. Is this flushometer the one that causes the problem? Thank you
Sloan , one of the few red brass fixtures still made in the US of A. Kinda dated design compared to a Toto. The Sexauer sales man love refreshing building stock though.
Steven: I do work for a daycare chain. I have done this repair many times; however, I just did one, but the toilet still runs. I installed a new vacuum breaker and diaphragm and the toilet continues to run. Any suggestions from you or anyone else? Thanks!
I'm the same way when it comes to these Sloan flushometers. If I see anything questionable or anything that looks like its at the end of its service life, I will replace everything with new parts. Doing so will save me one less call or work ticket in the future.
its a day care with small kids .there is a changing table in there also for dypers. so the young kids would needs to be superviced anyway i am thinking .
My toilet does not have access to shut off the water. On another toilet I can see the area to put the screwdriver, but the one running just has a solid round metal piece where you would put the screwdriver. Does the metal piece come off?
