    Toilet Flange Recessed 1 1/8" Below Floor

    Yeah, the tile is cracking in places. Anyway, cost is an issue in this case but I would also hate to risk a leak.

    Toilet Flange Recessed 1 1/8" Below Floor

    Kohler Cimarron toilet review, Owner comments and pictures

    Ah ha! Well, there you go. I was sure it couldn't be the flapper, and it's the flapper. The water level drops to the flapper and stays there. Thank you for the suggestions! (I never could get that fill valve cap off.) How ridiculous is that on a new toilet? Yeah, I picked up on how...
