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.

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 it helped.

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.

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

Does increasing the chain length help with the flapper sealing properly and not leaking?

Thank you

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.

Where do you measure

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
