Hello and Welcome to Korky Toilet Repair
Today we will show you how to install all Styles of Korky StrongARM Universal tank levers
If you have a Mansfield brand toilet with a tower flush valve, see the instructions later in the video
We’ll start by detaching the chain from the lever arm and removing your old lever.
Remove the hook and the two red locking clips and set them aside for later.
Separate the elbow and arm.
Then remove the mounting nut.
The mounting nut is reverse threaded, right for loose, left for tight
The handle can be mounted in various ways: angled mount, front mount, side mount, and right handed mount.
Insert the handle assembly into the tank hole and secure the nut on the inside of the tank
If you prefer, the handle can be mounted vertically.
Attach the elbow at the angle shown.
Position the arm parallel to the front of the tank then attach the lever arm to the elbow.
Insert the locking clips
The clips can be installed on either side.
Remove the current hook from your chain and use the provided hook to clip the chain to the lever with minimal slack
Do not pull the lever arm down to attach the chain.
You may need to cut the excess chain.
If the chain is short of your lever arm try adjusting the elbow’s angle like this.
Replace the lid & flush your toilet to make sure the toilet bowl clears properly.
The lever should not touch any other parts in your toilet tank. If your lever arm is hitting the lid adjust the elbow angle
This section is for Mansfield Tower flush valves only:
Twist off the valve top of your Mansfield flush valve
Unhook and remove your old lever.
Remove the hook and the top red locking clip, set aside for later.
Remove the elbow and arm and the mounting nut.
Insert the handle assembly into the tank hole and secure the mounting nut on the inside of the tank.
Reattach the valve top
Without lifting the flush tower thread the arm through the valve and attach the lever arm to the handle assembly
Insert the locking clip
If your lever doesn’t reach it may require a chain.
You can purchase a chain or call us for a free chain at 1 800 528 3553
Use pliers to clamp the open link of the chain to the flush tower
With your chain attached, follow the instructions from the beginning of the video

I bought a different brand to begin with and it broke before I was even able to install it. I went back to the store and bought this one. It was one of the more expensive ones but it was worth it. Quality is good and it took me 5 mins to install, and only that long because I have adhd and had to listen to the directions twice. Definitely recommend!
This is the second one for the basement bat. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
I had limited success with my side mount Toto. The angle does not allow enough lift so flapper lifts up only 20%. Not enough to clear the bowl. I’ll be back to Home a depot to get a regular one and will dump this one. Too bad, it looked promising.

Great video. My first toilet lever install...check another one off the bucket list. Thanks for making it so quick and easy!
So easy to replace. It took about 10 seconds to take out of the package and put on. Thank you😍
Just bought one tonight. The splined section spins on the shaft, allowing the arm to slip down instead of lifting the flapper. Returning tomorrow.
Probably wouldn’t of figured it out without this video thank you
Thank you for the video took about 5 min that was hunting for the chain on the bottom of the tank. done that simple and no rants an crying
I have American Standard curved tank and could not find a handle that would work right. Every time flushed the locking bolt would loosen and handle would come lose which meant time to remove lid and tighten again. It finally broke and after watching videos saw this worked on curved tanks so bought it and now happy. The arm is plastic but the handle is white metal which i was not expecting but very much appreciated, shows it will last and nice looking handle at that. When any other part needs replacement i will definitely use Korky products.
One question, i have found some toliet flapper use a yellow float donut and some don't why is that? Been long time since need to replace mine but I'm sure original didn't have the float but replacement i used does.
@@kinglord5429 Great question! There are a wide variety of toilet flappers available: some that are adjustable and others that are not. Most of the non-adjustable flappers are designed for 3.5+ gallon per flush toilets. They float for a longer time allowing for more water to flush. For the adjustable flappers, they are designed to flush different amounts of water by adjusting the buoyancy of the flapper to match the toilets original performance. In other words, by adjusting the flapper, you can control how much or how little water is flushed. Some adjustable flappers have a cone with a variety of settings, while others like the float style you described, allow for the float to be moved up or down to adjust the amount of water is flushed by changing the flapper's buoyancy.

@@KorkyToiletRepair ok so does higher or lower float flushes more or less water. My tank starts refilling when around half empty is that to soon? Does the float valve play any part, i can change them both just don't know the physics behind it all.

The instructions are very helpful.
When you mount it with a side mount tank, it doesn’t rotate enough, no matter what setting I put it on, to lift the flapper enough to flush.

Have you ever try to install it on a side mount toilet? It doesn't give you enough leverage to flush anything, because of the bad design to fit all. It lift the arm where you push to flush it not at the end where it should. At that end it just twisted it, which does not lift the cork. And the little plastic clip broke right away when I was trying to place it back. So much for engineer for strength!

Same issue with my side mount Toto. Not enough flapper lift.
Same issue!
Awesome! Thank you and great product
Hi I followed the instruction to my toilette Mandfield Tower flush. But the only thing that is not working is the handle. When flush the toilette the handle does not go back like it should be.

I just installed one today, it's on firm/secure BUT is it supposed to be a little wobbly???? I was hoping THE HANDLE WOULD be firm if so any tips will be very very much appreciated

Mines the same
I bought this today because it said it fits Mansfield on the package. It says nothing about needing a chain on the outside of the package or if it does it's in real small letters somewhere hidden and for $15 at Lowe's it should include one! I'm glad I bought the standard replacement handle for Mansfield just for this really stupid issue.
Needless to say, I am returning this product tomorrow because they don't even care enough to include a cheap chain so I can use this product but instead they make you call and they will send you a free chain so you can flush your toilet maybe days or weeks later.
Shame on you Korky
We apologize for the inconvenience. We will send you a chain free of charge to ensure the tank lever works with your Mansfield toilet. Please contact our customer service team and we will have your toilet up and running in no time. Please dial 1-800-528-3553 or email sales@lavelle.com.
It isn't Korky's fault that you're an idiot. Read the label next time, clown.
My toilet uses a short handle. Do I need to trim the handle to match the length of the old one?
If the handle doesn't interfere with the toilet components, then it isn't necessary to trim the handle. If you have additional questions, feel free to call 262-763-2434 or email Sales@Lavelle.com. We are available M-F, 7:30am-5:00pm CST.
Thank you very much. I can poop with confidence again!
I installed the handle and screwed the nut on very firmly. There is still a big amount of jiggle in the handle. It feels loose but not like it will come apart. Is there any way to fix that?

I have a Glacier Bay Toilet with side mount lever. The toilet is insulated (Styrofoam). When I tried to install this lever the curved part rubs against the styrofoam. That part is above the water obviously so I guess I could cut away a few mm of the sytrofoam but I'm hesitant to do that. Any other suggestions or should I return? Thanks.
Are you able to shave down the insulation a bit to allow the lever elbow to rotate freely, without completely removing?

Side mount does not work with Eljer toilets made in the 80's. There's a piece on the lid that interferes.

Does not fit my toilet even though it is listed. The arm hits the toilet works no matter how you twist it. The arm needs to be bendable to work.

Just installed one today into a Mansfield tank.
Problem is, the handle assembly doesn't want to tighten up all the way. This leaves a bit of a wiggle to the handle.
Seems like it needs a larger square to properly fit the hole in the tank, or some type of washer/grommet on the outside between the handle and the tank.
Any suggestions?

@@kmutt5233 - No. I ended up buying a Mansfield lever in Brushed Nickel off of Ebay. Which fits perfectly.
Also, the toilet seat lid hits the Korky handle. Mansfield handles are shaped to allow the lid to go all the way back against the tank.
It is more expensive than the Korky, but well worth the cost.
Bought this today for my Mansfield toilet and it doesn't work without the chain as the handle has a spring action that pushes the Mansfield plunger valve down to fast. So back to the store for me. If you havea newer Mansfield toilet do not buy or get a chain as an alternative connection.

Had less than six months and the mechanism that the arm clips to the lever near the flushing handle failed- 5 year warranty yet no phone number or online way to get support for a warranty claim - they make you write an old school letter in the mail - I foresee a month long turnaround for a replacement- no wonder they have a “5 year warranty”

Very impressed with the quality of this unit....maybe because it's MADE IN THE USA?? This will be our first "spring loaded" flush handle. The paper instructions were okay and the video good, yet the packaging says "Fits Kohler,............and all other toilets". After repeated tries, there's no way I could get this unit to work on our Eljer 1.6 gallon toilet due to the arm hitting the toilet lid. Maybe another model would have worked, but for now we decided to just fix the old handle and get back to flushing. Oh well, at least I got in store credit back from Menards.

Thank you so much now i can go pooop😂😂💩🔥
It hitting my lid
Let us help! Let's start by reviewing adjusting the angle of the tank lever so that it has more room to flush. If you pull out the red clip, closest to the locking nut, we can angle the tank lever arm down towards the flapper. This will give the tank lever arm more room for lift in your tank. Next, please ensure that the flapper chain is taught, with minimal slack, and connected to the tank lever arm hole most directly above the flapper. If neither of those tweaks help, or you would prefer to work through the installation over the phone, don't hesitate to contact us. Please dial 1-800-528-3553 or email us at sales@lavelle.com.

Nope didn't work for us. We have an old side handle and this does not fit into the toilet well enough to rotate and generate enough lift to keep the flapper up. The arm hits the front wall of the tank before hitting the critical point. It does seems to be good quality product for other configurations.

Please just include the chain in the package! It probably cost you .25 cents for the chain but for me to have to call to get a free chain and wait 3 - 5 business days, I would gladly pay the additional .25 cents.
My guess is that the chain comes with the KORKY bottom flap assembly......
Include the chain!
Comes with the flap and you can use your pre-existing chain
My 5 year old son just followed these instructions, and with minimal assistance, was able to do it. Great job on making this video! We bought it because it was made in USA…the great video was a total bonus.
I was skeptical when I bought this but I was so suprised at how easy it was, literally took me less than 2 minutes and I couldn't be happier. Definitely gonna buy more korky products if the opportunity comes in the future 👍
My first flush lever install. Thank goodness for this video. I did have to angle the arm down more so it wouldn't hit the lid yet that was super easy with removing the clip and adjusting. It seems my old arms would rust or break and look forward to this heavy-duty plastic lasting a long time. One suggestion for peeps is to get the clip onto the chain with little slack (kind of eye it up to the arm) and remove arm & attach the clip to it, then reattach the arm; otherwise, it's hard to see where you are clipping (at least for me it was). One con that I can imagine is people buying a new lever cuz their chain broke and they just wanted an updated lever - this doesn't come with a chain, which should be mandatory and I'm sure very inexpensive for the manufacturer to include, even if they had to raise their price 10 cents.

Mentions side mount but only shows front mounting
Worked like a charm. Video very helpful. Knowing this was a reverse thread made all the difference for me when removing the old device and installing the new. I now have replaced all the hardware in my 2 toilets with Korky products. You made it easy for a non handyman. Thanks
yeah that's what tripped me up too. the instructions suck. thank you youtube!
Literally have a korky flush system, and the arm isn’t long enough. You’d figure with all this damn “versatility” that they would at least make the arm long enough. What a joke

This will not operate if you have a handle on the side of the tank. When installed for maximum lift of flapper, chain no slack at all, it doesn't cause enough upward motion to lift the flapper to release the water without holding down the handle until the tank is empty. Want to push the handle flushing the toilet and walk away, not using this Universal Tank Lever if the handle your replacing is on the side of the tank. Contacted Korky customer service, waste of time, they just sent a video how to install but shows nothing how to when pushing down on handle to get more lift pulling the chain to release the water. $38 for 3" new rubber flapper and universal handle = 100% fail. Talked again with Korky customer service requesting to send a video or explain how to get the chain to lift up more, they had no response. Clearly, it's an issue for anyone buying this that has a side mounted handle, reading feedback at box stores, everyone is returning the product because the package says it will work, not. Korky responds with a general copy/paste, contact customer service, which I did, don't waste your time
Thank you for your comment - we’re sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve experienced with your installation. When installing the handle in the side mount position, there are a few important things to keep in mind:
1) The elbow segment must be installed at the 30° angle shown at 1:14. This maximizes the amount of flapper lift.
2) When the lever arm is attached to the lever segment, it should be positioned as close to the front tank wall as possible (without scraping wall). This maximizes the distance that the arm travels (increases flapper lift).
3) The chain should have minimal slack to ensure that the flapper is lifted immediately upon flushing (sounds like you have done this but might be worth double-checking - sometimes an extra link can make a difference).
We hope this helps. Please be sure to contact us if you still need assistance - we would be happy to walk you through this in more detail!
@@KorkyToiletRepair I've already done the above, it doesn't lift the 3" flapper high enough to flush the toilet without holding the handle. Lot of people are having the same problem reading comments, perhaps Korky should put out a video specifically for installation StrongArm levers mounting on side of the tank
Easiest handle repair I have ever done! I agree with the others, though. PLEASE put include a chain in the packaging! I would gladly have paid the extra for it!!
Please stop advertising that this product works as a side mount. I have it installed correctly, but it works only if you are willing to hold the flush handle down long enough for the flapper to rise. As others have commented, the arm doesn't raise enough to raise the flapper with a simple push of the handle, as it should. Very aggravating.

Very helpful! The old lever on my Mansfield toilet broke off recently and it was difficult to find a replacement because of its flushing mechanism. Now I have a solution and can get more use from the toilet instead of having to call a plumber or installing an entirely new flushing mechanism. Thank you for posting.
thanks korky
7 years later and still making husbands look like professionals!! Thank you!
All new instructions should be like this. Scan the code video and watch the video. This instructions video is excellent. Wooo wooo
Excellent install using this video. Big improvement over OEM handles.
Easy Peasy. Took longer to watch vid than do install. Love it !
Thanks
Thank you so much for the assistance this video was really helpful
I would not recommend for a side mount handle. It doesn't move enough to open the flapper enough. Too much slop in the assembly, so you have to hold the handle until fully flushed. Taking mine back to Lowes and getting a standard handle that will work properly.

Ah but can it run Linux?
Installed into my Mansfield standard that had the plastic loop on the flushing mechanism break. After I clipped the broken peice off, I was able to easily install this flush lever and handle. Easy to adjust to where you need it to adjust. I don't know why so many people are having problems with it. Easily the best handle I have found, and it was a quick way to swap out the crime for oil rubbed bronze to match my other new fixtures. Thanks for a great product and video.
I can't do written instructions. This helped, only took a few minutes.
Glad to hear this was helpful!
Great product. My tween son installed this himself from watching your video. Thanks for the well made instruction video and great product.
I had customize for the kohler 89864-6-AC. No elbow. Trimmed the corner of the arm to pass the handle nut. Works. Small mod to strong arm another job. 👍💪
Thanks! Super easy
Reading paper instructions and getting confused, 10 minutes. Watching this video, 5 minutes. Installing the lever in one shot, 2 minutes. Daddy's good aT everything, priceless.
American standard toilet
Frustrated, easy installation yes but continues to hit the lid. If anything the handle chooses to require much force leading it to be slanted at a 60 degree angle to flush a Mansfield toilet. The chain is short and even deciding to put it through the towers little thing slips off.

Thank you for this excellent explanation video. It was so easy to follow along and fix my toilet on my own.
wham bam easy
Smokin' hot versatility. All plumbing should be this simple. Thanks
I got it done in seconds, however, the arm is hitting top of lid! Even on the shortest setting. So should we shorten the chain? I've fixed many a toilets in this 100 yr old house. Lived here since 86 and have replaced the toilet 3x. Seems like our toilet is always f#@king up in some way. When I've shorten the chain before we don't get a full flush...so what to do? I'm so over this crap...really over not having the modern full flushing convince of having a REAL FLUSHABLE TOILET! IT'S 2020, ALMOST 2021, WTF?

How many degrees does this arm rotate?
50 degrees.
The second locking clip doesn’t come out as easy as on this video
The StrongARM lever is the gold standard of replacement handles, and the video was crystal clear and easy to follow. I love the two adjustable sections. This should last for years.
Thanks for sharing!
We have a delta with the 90 degree arm like this. The toilet is a kohler. those 90 degree arms prevent the handle from being used in the kohler with the large canister style "flap" FYI
The Korky StrongARM lever can be adjusted to fit toilets with canister-style flushing systems. If assistance is needed, feel free to contact our customer service team. Please dial 1-800-528-3553 or email sales@lavelle.com.
Helpful!!! Did this with my 16yr old!!!! 😊
I installed the StrongARM tank lever as described in the video, but it doesn’t seem to have enough travel (in the handle) to lift the flapper sufficiently...we have to hold the handle in the flush position for about 5 seconds, then let go in order to get a normal flush...can the travel be adjusted (lengthened) to lift the flapper higher?

Thanks. That was quick and easy.
Thank you so much ♥️.
Thank you
It works sort of with side mount toilets, we have to hold the flush lever down instead of just pushing it down and releasing it.

High marks for checking the comments and getting back to people. I angled the arm down and cut the tip of it down so it would not foul on the tank front. This has helped the problem. Take care.
Wonderful, glad to hear all is working well again. Let us know if you need anything else. Thanks for choosing Korky!
The handle is loose. No way to tighten. Garbage

im having the exact issue, i took the first one back to lowes, because i thought something was wrong with it, now this second one is doing the same, im thinking im just way tooooo stupid to install a flush handle. about to just go buy a basic 5 dollar handle!
but ill call the number, maybe they can talk me through this...
I bought this today at Lowe’s because I could put it anywhere, we decided to get rid of our old, rusted lever. We thought it would work out well, but it couldn’t even flush without hitting the lid of the toilet, at this point, the lever is stuck in there, we were also trying to fix the flapper valve as it would leak. We kind of wished we never bought it, but for now, we,ve found a way for it to work. When we get that lever out, we are gonna refund it

Two stars
Thanks for your review and for choosing Korky. Let us help to get your tank lever adjusted so it no longer hits the toilet lid. Let's start by adjusting the angle of the tank lever so that it has more room to flush. If you pull out the red clip, closest to the locking nut, we can angle the tank lever arm down towards the flapper. This will give the tank lever arm more room for lift in your tank, and prevent it from hanging up on your tank lid. Next, please ensure that the flapper chain is taught, with minimal slack, and connected to the tank lever arm hole most directly above the flapper.

Try angling the arm greater than the suggested 30 degrees
