Thank you for not talking about useless stuff and just saying what needed to be done
That annoys me, too. Unnecessary talking has
grated my nerves since I was a child.
Thank You. I almost called in a Plumber. Amazing how much you can learn on UA-cam
Awesome!! Glad it helped.
I am NOT a DYI person at all! But after watching your video a few times (an pausing as I followed each step - I had to replace 3 of them in my home) it worked like a chard and I saved a few $100's on getting a plumber! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad to hear.
Thank you. That’s was simple, I appreciate how easy you described all this!
@@williampietsch2034 Thanks for watching and for the kind comment :). Glad it helped.
Thanks for this video! I was able to install this on my own, which saved me $$$.
Yay! So easy my 8 yr old got it done before the video ended. Thank you! 😅
Awesome!!
The 2 dials on this particular flapper allow you to control how long your toilet will flush. The key is to get it to the optimal setting that allows the toilet to be completely flushed with only the minimum amount of water. The benefit to this is that your using less water and also your toilet runs for less time after you flush because it doesn't have to refill as much water in the tank.
Thanks, I didn’t even realize that.
@@weekendhomeprojects hello
Was noticing the same, Bret. So essentially, the lower the number (or smaller the hole) the less water being used...
if I'm not mistaken, yea?
@@JD0586someone correct me if wrong but I believe it would be the other way around. The size of the hole determines how quickly water enters the flapper weighing it down until it shuts again
So a larger hole means a shorter time before the flapper shuts and therefore less water is used
really simple but informative. Thank you.
Thanks :)
Thanks this helped me i didn't know it was this easy
Thanks for sharing
GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VID! THANK YOU.
Ur welcome. Harrison doing ok?
Great video!
my old flapper was not in the right height at all; so, I am going by feel trying to hone in on the best setting. I am toying with the dials on the flapper too. I work on my toilet every month, still it does not flush well. I augered 6ft. I changed the valve on the left, and the flapper. I also did try to clear the hard water deposits with acids prior to changing this hardware.
Great post thanks
Very informative!! Thankyou for sharing
Thank you
Hey thanks.
Welcome!
Does increasing the chain length help with the flapper sealing properly and not leaking?
The flapper was easy to install but it sticks open intermittently. I'm not able to bend it enough or figure out why it sticks in the open position sometimes.
Awesome
Thanks :)
Where do you measure
The dial controls how long the flapper floats to let more water in the bowl.
Would a seal replacement work instead of replacing the whole valve?
In my case, no. The flapper was not as rigid as it once was, so it was not laying flat enough to make a good seal.
My flapper won't go back down, is there a weight in the flapper? mine doesn't have that nub underneath it.
a fellow who does this a lot uses 2 nuts or nut and washers to slip on the chain so that the flapper has a bit of weight on it and presses it against the round ceramic lip of the opening at the tank bottom.
@DougHinVA thx,but I ended up replacing the flappers in both toilets after watching several videos. I 1st put a fishing sinker on mine,it worked for awhile.
This 3060 universal flapper seems wrong to me. The back lip is buckling up against the pipe. Seems like it should be able to be cut
Great video! How long does it take for the tank to refill? I turned my water off to replace it and then turned it back on again, now the water is refilling really slow. I am worried.
Shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes.
@@weekendhomeprojects the water is like slowly dripping in. Like real slow.. did I do something wrong?
@@Tribalyogafl Make sure you have the shutoff valve opened enough (turn left).
@@weekendhomeprojects I want to say thank you so much for replying to me and I’m appreciating that! I did turn it all the way on but no water is coming out.
@@Tribalyogafl Could be the float or fill valve needs adjusted.
How do you fixs the chain
What’s wrong with it?
@@weekendhomeprojects
The clip came off. The video doesn’t show this part. 😮
My flapper tore at the connection point for the chain
Time for a new flapper.
@@weekendhomeprojects already taken care off. It was an easy fix thanks to your video.
You may have just saved my marriage.
This one made me crack up!! lol, glad I could help.

That your favorite part?
@@weekendhomeprojects yes and why did you buy the Korky flapper instead of the Fluidmaster per for max flapper?
@@AndrewGenovese-lo3kw No particular reason, it’s just the first that I saw or pulled off the rack.
@@weekendhomeprojects what brand toilet do you have?
Your toilet is a cyber bully. It won’t stop telling me what to do. 🤬
Lol
...and he did NOT say a word what to do if the refilling goes on again because of a slow leak in the flapper that was the original problem! No word or what sort of grease or why or how to stop the tiny leaks! !
My tiny leak was due to the flapper being old and not properly sealing. The new flapper fixed that problem. Hope you get yours worked out.
Because that's not what the video was about. The video is about how to replace an old flapper. One source of information isn't the one true way. You gotta look at multiple sources
