Toto Drake toilet bowl won't fill completely? Here's an easy fix...

I've installed several Toto Drake toilets over the years and they've always performed well, UNTIL RECENTLY when the toilet bowl on a recent install wouldn't fill completely.
I spent A LOT of time trying to figure out what was wrong. I've checked that the floor was level, I tried adjusting the fill valve and got it set up exactly the same as another Toto Drake toilet in our house (which didn't have these problems). I could not diagnose or figure out why this bowl wasn't filling! I wasn't sure if it was a defect with either the tank or bowl.
I searched and found various solutions in forums and other RU-vid videos, but none of these suggestions helped me.
I finally shot a video (similar to the one you see above) and sent it to Toto Customer Service. About a week later, I got an email response telling me the problem: the black fill tube (coming off the fill valve) was supposed to go into the larger white flush valve tube and NOT into the tank.
As soon as I made this simple adjustment, it fixed the problem.
This is the toilet in the video: www.totousa.com/drake-two-pie...
Good luck!

Thanks because you saved me a bunch of trouble. I'd ordered this toilet for my new house. Then saw complaints on low bowl fill. Really want this toilet but not a problem also. This certainly fixes the problem so now I don't have to go through the trouble of changing my build sheet. Awesome and I'm very grateful.

I just installed 2 Totos; an Aquia IV and a Drake. Both tanks arrived from the factory set up incorrectly with the tube filling outside of the overflow pipe. I thought that they weren't set up properly but checked other vids to verify (self-doubt!). Interesting that they came from the factory like that.

Thanks for this video! We bought three new Toto toilets to replace out 3 30-year-old ones and have really loved them. Then we had to have some work done on out underground sprinklers that involved turning the water off at the meter. One of our toilets then wouldn't fill up all the way. So I found your video and when I looked inside, the tube had come off of where it clips on. It's kind of stiff and a little too short, so I think when a blast of air came through, it blew it off of the fill tube. I clipped it back on and it's working fine now, although the clip is very loose and I'll have to remember this if it happens again. Thanks again!

There is another possible solution to this problem. The newer fill valves have2 adjustments, one of which is a valve that’s built into the water line. Turning it will either increase or decrease the rate the water is flowing into the fill tube. Increasing the rate will result in a higher water level in the bowl.

Thank you! We installed a Kohler (1323429 model) and although I love the toilet, the parts are all plastic, even the part where you normally use a screwdriver to adjust the level. It would not adjust any more than it was, and I knew it was somehow possible because we bought the exact same model last year and was able to adjust it. It ends up there was a kink in the little hose line that filled the bowl. I had a little clamp that I put on it to fix the kink and now it fills with more water. Also, seems like holding the flush handle a second or two longer lowers the tank water level and takes longer to fill, thus allowing more water to flow through the hose to the bowl. It may be that we might have to replace that hose or cut it to shorten it if it continues to cause issues after this.

@@sethwilliams43 Are you sure the water must fill up to the upper level? I just installed 6 new Drake elongate toilets and they all only fill up to the lower level and work fine for complete flushes. In fact the flushes are so powerful I joked that these toilets are similar to the flushes in airplane toilets. LOL! I suggest anyone concerned about the water level should check with TOTO before modifying what may already be a correct operational configuration.

Are you holding the handle down for the entire flush? Or press and release? My tank water level is fine but bowl won’t fill. And it seems the flapper drops way too fast so I have to hold the handle until the bowl empties. Ive adjusted chain already.
@basilbcf
@basilbcf 2 года назад
I just bought a Toto Drake II and noticed that press and release flushes just fine but only about half the water in the tank is used. I actually chatted with TOTO today and was told this is normal operation. Mine is a supposed to be 1.28 gallons per flush, and when I press and release the handle it uses 1.28 gallons (per flush). The capacity of the tank is about 3 gallons and it's not supposed to use the entire tank on a single flush. If it's flushing fine with press and reslease then it's working as designed.
