The upper supply may be the issue but it may also be a symptom. Have you made sure there's no leak in the body of the Flushmate? The current upper supply incorporates a vertical duckbill valve in the air inducer whereas the original has a horizontal poppet valve. A new upper supply will be...

You don't say whether this is a new install or one that's been in service and recently developed the "run-on" problem. Age, time in service, rod/handle interface,water conditions, chemical exposure, etc. can all play a role in the performance. You can view some troubleshooting videos at...

Another possible cause is iron and manganese in the water supply. The linked information is several years old but it's a relevant and concise explanation of common symptoms and solutions for the problem you describe. Hope this helps.

Dave - glad to hear you got it resolved.

A cartridge and regulator can wear out like any other moving part but should last several years. Depending on the serial number, the parts are under warranty for five to ten years and if it's relatively new like you said, the parts, if needed, would be covered. The duckbill valve can also...

Could be air-draw/retention related to the upper supply group or, depending on the age and model number/serial number a potential reliability issue. You can check the serial number against a ten year old product advisory at http://www.flushmate.com/ProductAdvisory/productadvisory.asp?id=2. If...

Any of the suggestions would work but the difficulties would not only be finding the right paint/method that would hold up under use for any length of time but ensuring an even application with no rough spots that would impede extraction and leave remnants Knowing the intention, a few skid...

For what it's worth, the 1.1 gallon tank Gerber uses is a variation of the dual flush using the same tank and handle/actuation mechanism. The only difference is that it's a single flush with reduced volume.

Sounds like you have a venting/drain-line issue. Does this happen all the time, occasionally, frequently, etc.? Was the water level in the bowl adequate until recently or has it always been like that? Will pouring a bucket of water into the bowl "flush" it and refill it? Something is amiss...

Performance should be similar if not identical. Should the need arise, unless it's hinged or removable, a banjo shelf with limited clearance makes it extremely difficult to service a pressure-assist system.

There's some history and truth to the disinfectant capabilities of vinegar and, more recently, HO2. Diluted vinegar doesn't adversely affect plastic and rubber polymers used in plumbing valves or components but its natural vapor or "smell" does corrode raw brass and chrome plating (like...

After unbolting the china holding tank you'll find two plastic locknuts holding the PF/2 in place. Like "HJ" said, you can't replace the PF/2 with a conventional valve but Terry discusses an effective PF/2 replacement option here. Good luck.

California is the first state to mandate HETs & HEUs but the Feds won't be far behind. According to the PHCC: "Changes have recently been made to legislation in California that would mandate the use of High Efficiency Toilets (HETs) and High Efficiency Urinals (HEUs). The legislation would...

For clarification, Sloan isn't and never was connected with PF/2 or its seemingly endless stream of owners in any way; they simply packaged a "drop-in" replacement kit when Chicago Faucet discontinued the PF/2.

A continuous leak from the horizontal "cap" on the upper supply is typically a symptom of insufficient water pressure or an obstruction in the inlet filter screen in the threaded shank your water supply line is connected to. These two factors could also cause the vertical "cap" to leak but...

And if it's too late to stop him, a macerating pump might be your only hope.

If you select a traditional 1.6 GPF gravity San Raphael, it will use Kohler's proprietary flush-valve/flapper assembly. These parts are "standardized" in that they are designed for Kohler's one-piece gravity fixtures. Kohler fixtures, and presumably parts, carry a one year Warranty. If you...

The Kohler Pressure Clean system is obsolete and no replacement parts or rebuild kits are available. There are no compatible pressure-assist systems that can be installed the Rialto. Your best course of action is to contact Kohler directly (800-456-4537, http://www.us.kohler.com). Typically...

You could call Briggs (800-888-4458) and ask if they have a distributor or sales rep in your area. If you're near Metro Dade or don't mind ordering on-line or by phone, Guillen's Enterprises in Miami should have the assembly you're looking for. Guillen's will ship world-wide and list the...

Many people associate shredding and rollback as a problem with the pressure-assist system when it's always caused by preexisting plumbing issues or a misdirected jet outlet. If there's any obstruction in the trap, drain-line, or venting, a rollback on some level is inevitable. If the jet outlet...
