Thanks Bill.. my friends toilet has been leaking between the tank and bowl. The toilet is only 13 years old. Now I can help her fix it. Have a great day……
Wow, toilets normally don't have this problem until 20+ years. Perhaps the manufacturer is getting a little cheap on materials. You have a great day as well!
@SparkyChannel the water quality can also play a big part on just how long the rubber gaskets last. When I repaired my toilet tank leaks, I used Fluidmaster flush valves on my toilets because they are the older toilets. If I help a friend out in repairing a water saving toilet or my brother at his home, I might look into seeing if Sloan's valve will fit and work well.
Even though I'm mechanically inclined, and fix anything I can...I've never did a tank gasket, but I watched your video, and did the job....zero leaked...old gasket was deformed and leaking....thanks again.
Great job!
Thank you very much for your easy to follow thorough tutorial. Made my install very easy! I appreciate it!
No problem, thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. I've never seen an inside of toilet with black box!
I've done 2 tank overhauls over the years on 2 different toilets at my home. Both are older toilets that have been long discontinued. The first one was in 1995 on a 1955 Universal Rundle toilet. The toilet originally came with a tank ball, but was later converted to use a flapper when tank balls and rods became hard to find. The flush valve seal gasket wore out with age, and caused "ghost flushing" every couple of hours. Also, the brass flush valve became pitted, requiring replacement as well. I replaced the flush valve, ballcock, toilet tank bolts and the tank to bowl gasket at the same time. The new flush valve assembly is plastic, which solves the pitting problem with old brass flush valves. I replaced a leaky old school ballcock with a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve, saving space inside the tank. At that time, it was a new design and state of the art fill valve. The overhaul cost way less than replacing a toilet. I purchased the parts at a Lowes Hardware store and a True Value franchise, as my local Home Depot didn't carry some of the needed parts individually. Also, some sales associates at HD tried to push a pricier product that I didn't want to use, which is now discontinued today.
The second toilet I overhauled is a 1967 Montgomery Ward toilet, likely made by American Standard for MW. I overhauled it in 2012 with a new Fluidmaster 400A fill valve, new flush valve gasket, new tank to bowl gasket, new flapper and new tank bolts. The OEM flush valve is plastic and showed no signs of wear, thus only requiring new gaskets and a flapper. The old ballcock showed wear and tear by making loud noises while filling the tank and vibrating, causing the steel pipes to rumble. The slowly leaking flush valve tank gasket caused extra loud ghost flushing every few hours, as the worn fill valve vibrated while filling the tank.
This video serves as a reminder that one doesn't always need to replace a whole toilet when problems with toilets start occurring from aging parts wearing out. It is best to find OEM parts when possible, or to find quality aftermarket parts when OEM parts are no longer available, as in my case. In the case of my overhaul on the newer toilet, I had a choice of buying a fill valve made by Corky or a Fluidmaster 400A. The Corky fill valve is a knock off of Fluidmaster's fill valve with enough cosmetic differences to make it a Corky design. It was cheaper than the Fluidmaster pricewise, but not necessarily better.
Yes, I agree. Also, the old toilets are sometimes better quality than a new replacement might be. They are just in need of new parts and gaskets once in a while. Great job!
Nice job!! You are a jack of all trades and a master of at least one. 👍👍👍
LOL! Thanks 👍
I know this will come in handy. Thanks for sharing.
You bet, thanks!
Helpful just learned about the pressured it's very easy to maintain thanks
You're welcome, thanks!
Good video Sparky.
Thanks Gary! I think the video will help someone. :)
Very helpful, thankful.
Glad to hear it!
The Plumbtrician strikes! Electrumber?!
LOL! I know. I think there is a new code in the 2023 NEC about tank to bowl gaskets.
Ty Bill for answering a question about a tank to bowl gasket that I have been googling all these plumbing sites that they never put in there information. I got a new tank to bowl gasket and it's really kind of tough to get all the way on their flesh to the bottom of the tank and that's what I was trying to Google everybody on here and you're the only one that said as the flush to the tank so I need to find a way it is the right one is just tight you know the other one was worn so I've been trying to get it all the way around there flush to the tank so I'm going to see what I can do to get it on there easier all the way it's just got a really thin then small gap between that mounting that in the bottom of the tank so I need to see what I can put on it or do to get it on there all the way.
Sounds good, thanks!
Very nice video
Thanks!
Good job
Thanks!
Nice info about the repair because from time to time those gaskets always wear out and they have to be replaced or it's time for a new bowl or toilet 🚽.
Yes, sometimes people just throw out the toilet and buy another one due to a tank to bowl problem. The toilet bolt washers wear out sometimes too. Thanks Ruben!
@@SparkyChannel you are welcome sir
Hi Bill, What is the purpose/advantage of the black tank inside of the tank?
I have never seen or aware this type of setup was out there!
Like the saying goes never to old to learn something new!
thx, tommy
Hi Tommy! The Sloan Flushmate has the hardest flush in the industry. I care about this because it decreases the amount of toilet clogs. See: www.flushmate.com/
I put up with the maintenance needed because of that.
@@SparkyChannel Bill I much appreciate your response to my question!
Your video's are always educational and enjoyable no matter the subject!!!
thx again, tommy
Gives you the same sort of flush as a commercial toilet, but it's loud.
Commercial takes a 1" line, so a tank of water isn't needed.
Not only are they loud, they may leave bits behind requiring a second flush.
Very powerful flush, though.
He's showing one type of tank, there are two hole types.
@@aredditor4272 Thanks!
Sweet what are you going to pull through that? 3/C 12Ga. ?
12/2 with ground! :)
You asking what size ropes he's layin?
@@scarce911 No. He was just teasing me.
Looks like you got steel bolts with a yellow conversion coating.
Likely to rust.
Not your fault necessarily, that's what's commonly sold.
There are levels to everything, including metal alloys and coatings used to make fasteners.
Yes, I would prefer brass washers but that is what comes in the kits now.
The washers in some kits are stainless steel.
Hey sparky, I always appreciate your videos but let me correct you, first it's metal washer then a rubber washer, underneath the thank it's rubber then metal followed by a nut that part you had correct, cheers.👍
The rubber washer always touches the ceramic, and the metal washer always goes before the nut.
I understand. The display I made for the bolt/washer was wrong. You're correct. Thanks!
I thought rubber washer goes inside of bowl ...
Hi Cedric. The kit I had gave me rubber washers for the inside and the outside of the tank. If you only have one set of rubber washers, just use them on the inside of the tank.
He is putting rubber inside and outside
👋👍
Thanks Drew!
Your help would be much appreciated.
Can I have two gfci outlets on the same breaker. Say one in both bathrooms. I tried installing a gfci in my bathroom downstairs but the gfci would stay tripped. There is already a gfci installed up stairs. But when I installed the gfci downstairs it would stay tripped. Is this because there is moisture in the line or because of two gfci outlets on the same breaker?
Yes. See my video: Change Out a Circuit of 2 Prong Receptacles With Slim-Line GFCI's per 2020 NEC: ruclips.net/video/RkqIgOt99DI/видео.html
I thought this was an electricians channel?
Hi John. It is, but in addition to being a licensed electrical contractor I'm also a licensed general contractor and property manager as well. I have to be able to do these kinds of repairs and I'd like to share what I know. Lots of electrical content coming up.
Does it bother you that he can do plumbing as well?
Even electricians need to poop now and again :D
@@tensazero LOL!!! So true!
