Assemble Toilet Tank to Bowl - No Leak Washers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2022
- Assembling a tank to a bowl is easy when the tank bolts are secured to the tank prior to placement on the bowl.
There is a soft (sometimes dense foam) gasket on the bottom of the tank that seals the flush-valve and the tank to the bowl.
Having secure watertight bolts on the tank allows more flexibility when tightening the tank to the bowl as the foam tank-to-bowl is soft and allows some movement between the two.

Instructions with the bolt kit are wrong. Yours are correct. You are the kind of person that makes RUclips worthwhile. Many thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! I’ve have been watching videos on how to do this and all the other videos said to put washer in tank water with the screw head first washer second. I’ve taken my tank apart 3 time’s now (I’m a 66 yr old widow). It leaked every time. Then I watched your video and took the washer out of the tank…It’s not leaking anymore!!
Don't know why I bother reading directions from replacement parts not made in USA. Found video, followed video, no leaks. Thank you Blair.
I can't thank you enough for the tutorial. I was able to do the repairs myself all because of you.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I have a toto Drake 2 piece toilet. It’s 20 years old. The original installer only put 2 rubber washers with bolts inside tank and only a metal washer with a nut to hold it outside the tank. It wasn’t leaking, but I had to remove the tank to put in a new flush valve that failed.
You helped me greatly. Appreciate the vid, detailed description with tips like no washer in bowl!!!
Bought a new tank bolt replacement kit and directions said to put metal washer inside tank then put the rubber washer on under it and it was leaking like crazy, was sitting there for hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. Saw this video and put the rubber washer only on the inside and followed the same steps in this video and no more leaks!!! Thank you so much Mr. Hardware
Thanks for this video. Now I can fix my tank that is leaning forward.
It's nice to see someone doing it right. There are a lot of vidoes out there that show people the wrong way of doing this.
THANK YOU!! After replacing my tank bolts the wrong way because I followed a different video, my tank was still leaking. I found your video and it made sense about the metal washers. I did it all over, following your directions and my floor is dry!
You’ve literally just saved me some stress, anxiety, and a lot of money! Thank you so much!
Ahhhh, that's why there are two sets of nuts and washers for each bolt! Thank you!
Thank you for this important information!!! I put my new kit in wrong and redid it 4 or 5 times only to still have leaks😡 Thank God I found your video and solved the problem in 10 minutes!! You are the man!
This has been a simplified and stress-free tutorial. Thank you from women homeowners like me.
Thanks! I learned about the sub-nut system for the first time.
Wow, thanks. Yep, metal washers in the tank, leaked twice, took them off and no leaks!!! thank you!!
He knows what he’s doing I’ve tried the “amateur” ways and his way worked ! Great video
Many thanks Mr. Hardware. At first I followed the Hardware store package instructions with Leaks. The Sub-Nut system works, and I as an engineer fully understand why it does. Excellent explanations!!!!!!
PS: Note on disassembly of the old hardware I had to use a small torch to loosen a nut that was extremely stubborn with success.
Next time I start a mini home project I will check Mr. Hardware first :)
Hello. Thank you. I did just what you said amateurs do. In the tank, I added a metal gasket and it leaked. Now it is sealed. I appreciate you.
Thank you. This was VERY HELPFUL. The way you explain things is PERFECT! So clear & informative. I just replaced leaking bolts and a cracked tank based on your videos. 👍👍👍🤗
Thanks for the perfect tutorial. Simple and to the point. I put you in my favorites.
I bought a replacement set of valves to deal with a slow leak. Followed the instructions in the package twice and it leaked both times. Putting the second washer and nut on the tank itself solved the problem. Thank you!!!
Life saver! After several hours of dripping and trial and error your tutorial gave me the wisdom to fix my toilet properly. Thank you!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
really helpful Blair. Thank you for the very useful (and concise) video! 👍
Thank you! That seepy tank bolt thought it was going to defeat me, but your video showed me what I needed!
Thank you Blair! Helped a lot
Thank you Mr. Hardware!
This is incredibly helpful.
This actually helped to fix our leaky toilet!
Thank you so much for your video. It really needs to be the top video on this.
Thanks, this was very helpful!
Thanks for the vid, it helped me out
Thank you sir....your video just saved my day !!!! Merci beaucoup !!!!
Very smart, thanks !
Great tip, thanks for the video.
Very good! Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you
excellent vid. Thank you!
Looked up this vdo because the instructions on the ACE hardware tank to bowl kit were incorrect with a diagram to match the text. Thx for posting this.
Thank you!
Quality content! Thank you!
Great job 👏
Thank you, new subscriber. I bought a flowmaster kit and the tank leaked upon reinstalling. I did brass rubber china as you said and it doesn’t leak now. It was an old Crane toilet. Thanks again
Thank you so much!
Thank You!
Thank you
Awesome demonstration...after I placed my bolts it was still leaking from the bolts...I did it completely wrong....I will do it again..Thank you
thank you!!!!!
I was always taught to never have metal to porcelain, that's why there's two rubber washers and a plastic washer with each bolt in the repair kit. Maybe it's different in the States. But, a great short informative clip without all the fluff and flannel.
This saved me
thank you!!! I'm on my 4th day trying to fix my dad's toilet.
I see my problem, washers in the tank. This is kicking my butt.
What size are the hex nuts, are they standard for Briggs 7421?
Metal rubber china?
Thank you
What is the best way to clean the black worn out rubber washer stain from hands.
Oil.
Elbow grease, or if unavailable, Dawn soap.
Could you please provide a link to that product? Thanks for the video. It was very informative and answered a lot of my questions.
The manufacturer of those kits changes every year or two. So call the hardware store at 586-776-9532 and ask for Danial and he will be able to ship you a set of either two or three bolts as there’s two kinds of toilet tanks.
@@MrHardware1 Thank you for your response. I appreciate your willingness to help. I ordered two different styles from Amazon. The main difference between the two styles is that one secures the bolt directly to the tank and also a second nut that connects the tank to the bowl. The other style that claims to be the American Standard OEM part only has one connection for the tank to the bowl. For the style that you recommend that has two points of attachment to the bolt, have you found that there are any issues with the amount of clearance between the tank and the bowl in order to clear the first set of nuts and washers? Currently my toilets have very little clearance. Thanks for your help and I hope to hear back from you.
@@sydneym.778 I like the kit with the sub-nut because it allows me to make the bolts water tight the tank before I put it onto the bowl. That nut has always fit for me, it is quire thin.
@@MrHardware1 Okay, thanks Mr. Hardware. I appreciate your help.
After 4 times of trying different sequences, and every time it leaked...i tried this sequence and unfortunately it STILL LEAKED.
Why not do it on an actual connection where water is present.
Screw fix toilet
This dude has has a few drinks in his day.
Shitbags like you need to be 6 feet under.
Simple enough...IF the manufacturers had any common sense and included the right kind of goddamn parts that made the repair easy...like thicker nuts.
