I took the top off the tank in my guest bath to fix a tank-to-bowl slow leak. I thought I was going to find a flapper or seal that needed to be replaced. What I found was a new (to me) flush arrangement, what I subsequently determined to be a Mansfield flush valve.
After watching a few Youtube repair videos and finding http://www.mansfieldparts.com/, I think I'm going to be able to find the model number and get replacement parts. It looks like replacing the flush valve, seal, and probably the fill valve while I'm in there, will all be within the reach of my skill set.
My question is whether it is possible to replace the Mansfield flush valve with the more standard flapper valve, and if so, whether I should. I've done fill valve and flapper replacements, but never anything that's required me to unbolt the tank.
