      These flapper valves can last for years. You’ll know when it’s time to replace it when the toilet starts making noise. This noise is due to the fill valve turning on due to the water getting past the flapper valve.

    I have a Mansfield toilet that doesn't have a chain. It is all plastic. I can't get everything to flush and the waterline is fine. Very frustrating. Could it be that some toilets need completely replaced or is it always a matter of replacing a part? Thank you.

    • @proclaimliberty2000
      @proclaimliberty2000  6 років тому

      I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with the Mansfield as I have all Kohlers. Toilets are very simple and I'm sure it just needs to have a part replaced inside the water tank. You could take a video of the inside of the tank when you flush it and then take it to a home improvement center like The Home Depot or Lowe's and I'm sure they could help you figure it out.
