So, I just got 11 months out of my last replacement Korky flapper model #2023 BP labeled "Genuine Toto Universal Flapper" that Toto recommends. Did not use any drop-in cleaners in tank or other chemicals. Cleaned off the flapper and flush valve surface with a cloth, no help, several times turned...

Toto does not make their parts, Lavelle Industries owns Korky and makes all the Toto flappers that come with the toilets and also the replacement flappers, whether they bear the Toto or the Korky name. This has been told to me by the people at the Toto support site.

I'm with you. No matter what you do with chain length, flapper, flush valve, fill valve, you do not get a good flush unless you hold the handle down. And if there are any solids in the bowl- forget it, you definitely have to hold it down a second or so. Also, keep your toilet auger ready-I have...

Thanks. This was installed in the late 30's. The 1 1/2" galvanized coming out of that trap runs 5' into the 4" cast iron soil stack, via a wye on the cast, which rises right up to the roof. The only other vent in the house is for the kitchen sink which at the opposite end of the house. This...

Thank you both

Hi, when I get done replacing my old galvanized 2" waste pipe taking the kitchen sink water from the front of the house I want to replace this trap shown. Coming down from the bathtub above, when the bath was re done 10 years ago, they ran a flexible nipple from the drain into an 1 1/2", it...

Not a pro-but I have a similar problem, have a backflow preventer in the line, it's got a one way flapper and a wheeled gate valve. I relied on the flapper this time, big mistake, either the surge overwhelmed it or something was stuck, I got a foot of sewer water. I forget the brand, but it's...

Anyone have experience with a good brand/model of an undersink water filter system? I have a GE one I installed where the faucet is leaking and a new faucet cartridge to fix it is going to cost about as much as a new one. I'm not a filter fanatic, I'd like a single filter system that is...

Thanks. I had shortened the chain by moving the clip but did not cut off the links I bypassed. I just shortened it a little more and that helps since the flapper goes up at a higher angle when you flush and stays there an instant, so you don't have to keep the handle depressed. Then I had a...

I replaced my fill valve in a Toto toilet so I decided to replace the flapper also which was about 10 years old, with a Korky 3" flapper, the one that has an adjustment feature. But the old white one, shown on top of the tank here, had a "fin" on the opposite side that held it open once you...

"Counterbalanced" flapper? I replaced my fill valve in a toto toilet so I decided to replace the flapper also which was about 10 years old, with a Korky 3" flapper, the one that has an adjustment feature. But the old white one, shown on top of the tank here, had a "fin" on the opposite side...

As hopefully shown in the attached diagram, my under kitchen sink wastepipes have a vertical nipple, (1 1/2" OD pvc) coming down into an old J trap, then the short end of the J trap goes into a compression el, then into a straight nipple. I don't have one of those nipples with the 90 degree...

I just had new pumps installed in my sump. I have a high water table, I have french drains feeding a lot of water, especially during storms, into my sump. My sump liner is a standard plastic one sold in Home Depot, 20" in diameter, 25"deep. My old pump, while high in hp, could not keep up...

Today I put a new cover assembly in w/out replacing the actual heating element & it was a PITA. I did not want to drain the system & sweat a new element in, complicated by fact it was in a small bathroom (a 30" Slant Fin unit). Due to being in the bathroom, the outside sheet metal parts were...
