Korky Universal Kit: amzn.to/3Ljw4M2 Korky Flush Handle and Arm: amzn.to/3VkKPTb
@greekbecky12 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the food coloring tip! I replaced my toilet's old fill and flush valves with the Korky Universal kit which was an easy process, with one exception. My Kohler toilet had a thin triangular gasket unlike the thick round gasket included in the kit. I installed it, made sure it was a snug fit (maybe too snug as the tank tilted back slightly). Later, I notice a few drops from under the tank, so I tightened the bolts which didn't help. I had hoped it wasn't the gasket, but your food coloring tip confirmed it was the gasket.

Oh that's unfortunate, but I'm glad you were able to figure it out! Hopefully the correct gasket isn't very expensive (It shouldn't be).

Yeah I like your videos to help with repairs. I followed your installation video for the Korky Universal kit.. I’ve had to make some adjustments along the way but oh well. I’m gonna put in a Korky handle lever soon. I didn’t make sure about the flapper position on install but it’s close. I hope I can find a handle with a telescopic rod to get the position right over the flapper. Have you seen the Korky rubber gaskets to replace the wax rings? When I buy some of the large size toilets I think they might be easier to work with.

Thanks for the follow up. The valve adjustment was the solution for my toilet issue.

Kohler toilet circa 1984, the plastic handle rest has stop located above the rest to restrict the upward motion of the pull chain. You must cut off the top limit tube which is part of the assembly to enable the range of motion necessary to complete a full flush with the Korky flapper. Otherwise, the flapper will immediately release and close off the waterflow unless you continue to hold the handle down. Using side cutters for this task, be careful to not damage the rest of the assembly which is being used to position the handle correctly on the toilet.

I cannot get the unit to seal no matter how much I tighten the nut on which fastens it to the water closet. I called tech support and they said they never heard of the problem. Should I use plumber paste to create a better seal?

Water is not shutting off after flush. What can I do?
@WesleyAllenNC2 жыл бұрын
Try a couple drops of food coloring in the back of the tank. If the colored water flows into the toilet bowl, then the issue is likely with the flush valve or flapper mechanism, but if the water in the toilet bowl remains clear, the problem is with the fill valve or overflow tube system.

I have that same Korky flap replacement and have noticed that the flap doesn't always land back on the flush hole completely straight. I have to wiggle the flush handle to straighten it up. Have you ever had that issue? After watching your video, I'm think I might update to that adjustable strong arm you have to see if that helps.

Water level in bowl is to low
@WesleyAllenNC Жыл бұрын
You may need to lower you overflow tube. That’s where the water from the tank enters the bowl.

Do a video taking the Korky unit apart. There are basically only 2 parts that can wear out. The cap assembly and the flapper. Fill the tank, shut off water supply. Wait 15 minutes, if the water level is dropping or gone, the flapper is leaking. If not, replace the cap which you can do basically without removing anything or going to the expense of replacing the entire valve which is pointless. Don’t forget to rinse the stem filter. Show people this stuff, it’s actually useful if you’re Korky unit is leaking.

Korky products do not come with instructions. My flapper does not stay "up" after pushing the flush handle to complete a full flush, i.e. the tank does not adequately empty unless the handle is held down. Then sometimes the flapper doesn't seat correctly resulting in the toilet running.....................no troubleshooting tips provided to fix.
@tac4bravo Жыл бұрын
I have the same issue! How did you fix yours? I need the flapper to stay open longer to allow the toilet to flush before the flapper closes

This thing is JUNK! I won't buy another one. This was one (really 3) items I'll regret buying from Home Depot. All of them failed in about 7 months ... at the same time! It's garbage 🗑! 🤬

Got about 2 weeks out of our kooky fill valve. Made some go's awful pop, sounded like it was going to blow the lid off the tank. No adjustment would stop the water. Junk!
