Flush Valve
Diagnostic
The toilet’s flush valve assembly is most often the center of any leaking in the toilet’s tank. It has moving parts that seal and drain, so as such is prone to be highly affected by corrosion or deterioration. The flush valve assembly consists of the Overflow Tube, Seat, Flapper Valve, and the Sponge Gasket. Each of these parts will develop problems over time, causing an internal leak that is hard to trace. Whenever the flush valve is going to be replaced, the sponge gasket and tank mounting bolts should also be replaced at that time.
To replace the flush valve the entire tank will have to be removed from the bowl of the toilet, exposing the sponge gasket and the nut holding the valve in place. It may be difficult to identify which of these parts are malfunctioning because any defect may be too small to see, for this very reason, whenever the flush valve, sponge gasket, or tank mounting bolts are worn-out, all of these items should be replaced at the same time.

Finally a channel that details everything – first time looking in a toilet and I now know exactly what the problem is and what I need in order to fix it.

Why cant I sue these bastards… gd I hate you fuks to hell. . Get it American Standard. . When I get my water bill I show it to the theif who sold it to me..rot in hell.. does anyone give a shit… NO…
You should take the silly warning off at the end.
Why would you care if someone was to copy an educational video that any one can find in a plumbers hand book any way?
That would be like me making a video of how to boil water, then threatening people to not copy the video.
Your into is 27 seconds. I'd strongly recommend shortening it.
Excellent and so clear! Thank you!
In your list of needed tools, did you forget the extra large wrench for the large, plastic, flush valve lock nut ?
Or are we only supposed to hand tighten that ?
Am I the only one that thinks all of this is unnecessary? My toilets rubber flapper is not sealing well. So instead of being able to replace just the the rubber flapper. I have to disassemble the tank and replace the whole valve assembly and related hardware!? Huge design fail!
Why bouther to metion "buy them at the hardware store"?DID HE EVER SHOW HOW TO REPLACE IT?
my toilet is in 1 piece. cant remove tank. what do i do to replace valve?
excellent work
I tired fixing my toilet myself. I gave up and called Nationwide Plumbers instead: 855-620-8558
well explained and demonstrated. Did it in one go. thanks so much.
These 2 videos in the series helped me do my first toilet repair! Total cost for parts was $65 and hiring a plumber would have been at least $200+. Thank you!
Thank you for squeezing the sponge to demonstrate it's sponginess – I needed that! 😉
Good job. very E z to understand. Nice video.

OMG….this looks very professional….but so wrong on some points…..that black washer thats thicker on one side than the other?…is an overflow washer for a bathtub!
I'm 56…been a plumber since Jr. High….now a Master/ Journeyman…most so-called plumbers overlook a simple adjustment in the fill tube…(the flexible tube down in the overflow)…they will tear apart the whole thing and never get it to stop running…..this guy has no business making this video…this would take hours…(notice the edits)….and with plumbers charging about $100.00 an hour? I could have this toilet completely rebuilt …(if necessary) in 45 mins….completely. There are more "Tricks to the trade" in plumbing than any other.
THANXXXX ☺☺☺
I used this kit and the replacement gasket on the bottom was too thick, holding the tank too high to get the nuts back on the bolts.
Totally and completely helpful.
Yeah because I have all of those items!
