    Kohler Rialto K-3402 toilet fill valve repair

    Rialto 3402 redux Sorry for not checking back sooner, hj - sorry. Life continues on much the same way: Every few months, the toilet starts hissing and I can see the water in the bowl has tiny waves. I put a little vaseline on the flapper and it is quiet as a mouse for another few months...

    Kohler Rialto K-3402 toilet fill valve repair

    I asked Terry this over the phone (the site would not let me log in), but I'd like others opinions, too: From time to time, if I put a little vaseline on the flapper, I hear no hissing or dripping at all for a couple of months but, then later, it starts again, and I have to apply more...

    Kohler Rialto K-3402 toilet fill valve repair

    Kohler Rialto K-3402 toilet fill valve repair

    Fun never stops With some further research, I find that my ProFlo after market fill valve is a private label for Ferguson Plumbing, coordinated by a firm called Lincoln Products. They tell me the 1 B1-X, despite the label Ferguson insists upon, is actually misssing a secondary float that is on...
