    Duravit Metro flush valve leak

    Typically, no. They recommend not using silicone grease or any other lubricants when installing bulkheads because such materials can cause the rubber gasket to squish or scoot and create an uneven seating. Tight is good, but within reason -- the issue being that overly tight can stress glass...

    Duravit Metro flush valve leak

    Actually, changing just the flapper wouldln't have made any difference, given that the same problem persists after a wholesale replacement of the flush valve + flapper. But you are right -- that would've saved me $20 or so. Also, I did confirm that the refill hose is mounted properly and is...

    Repair fill valve in Duravit Metro? B3800E

    My 3 year-old Duravit Metro moans during refill after each flush. The sound and vibration is definitely coming from the fill valve. This toilet appears to use a WDI B3800E fill valve.
