I replaced everythin from tank to bowl gasket, to locknut, seals and whole cannister assembly. It all came as a kit. No old parts were reused.

I did let it sit without flushing.

Ok so this is what i have done in my investigation of the problem. I flushed the toilet as normal and by that i mean with the tube sticking down the over flow. In about five minutes the water level drops enough for the fill valve to operate and refill the tank. I did this a few times to verify...

Gary i did that first before buying the replacement valve. I read the instructions for troubleshooting the problem. I cleaned around the seal, adjusted chain to make sure it was properly seated after flushing and tried adjusting the fill valve all with no luck. It also not a traditional...

Ok i have a problem and really need help. I have a Kohler Cimmaron that i have had for a year or so now. Up until a couple of weeks ago it worked fine with no problems. Now somehow water is leaving the tank and the fill valve keeps coming on to refill the tank. I shut the water supply off and...

I've had a Kohler Cimmaron for a year or so now and it has worked great until recently. Every few minutes the fill valve opens and fills the tank then somehow it must lose water because it kicks on awhile later. I have tried adusting the chain and water level and cleaning around flapper seal...

Ok guys Thanks for all the input. Here is an update. I removed the toilet changing the seal, flange bolts and fill/flush valve. I used the main shut off to shut off the water supply. One minor leak that was quickly fixed and none since even checked to make sure all was level. The water...

Sorry I measured circumference. Diameter is 1/2 inch.

Outside diameter is 1 inch.

I want to replace the stop and the supply going to the toilet but have not found the right part at Lowes'. Since the new water supply will have a threaded end and not the "PB" end or pex i think you call it.

The toilet is located in a mobile home. It is grey polybutylene.

First of all Thanks to all those to have given such good advice in my past posts. At the moment I have one last home improvement project on my list. That is to put a new seal under a toilet and change fill/flush valve while I'm at it. The problem is with the water supply. When I go turn off the...

I will try to post a pic. Not sure what good it will do. It would just show the black plastic flange no cracks breaks or problems you can see.

I am installing a new Kohler toilet. One of the hold down bolts on the old toilet was so rusted i had to hacksaw it off. Then when i pulled the toilet off i had alot of difficulty removing the remains of that bolt from the flange. The other bolt installed fine and held in place firmly the one i...

By under pressure do you mean not shutting off the water supply?

Draining water heater Electricity was shut off and one hot water faucet was open. Should more faucets be open?

I'm looking to buy my first new toilet. The only requirement i have right now is it has to have a round bowl due to space. I'm not looking for the Cadillac of toilets nor do i want to buy the cheapest to save a few bucks. Any advice on brands to buy or not to buy or features to look for is...

When i opened the valve to drain my hot water heater only a very small trickle of water came out. I made sure the valve was open all the way. Is this normal? Everyone has told me about cleaning out the lime and scale build up when draining the tank. How is this accomplised with such a weak flow?

Ok i was a bit confused. I was thinking the thermostat with the lower element was what i needed changed. Here is a pic of the upper element. So i just have to get another screw in type. Next question. When i put them in does it matter which terminal on the elemnt goes to which lead on the...

The lower water heater element is out in my water heater (Rheem brand) and i'm getting ready to change it (never done it before). Everyone tells me to change both the upper and lower at the same time .... makes sense to me. So i have the lower element but i can't find a upper elemt matching mine...
