Troubleshooting
Toilet continues to run after installation
Ensure the flush valve height is correctly adjusted and the flapper is seating properly. Check for any debris obstructing the valve seat. Verify the tank-to-bowl gasket is sealing correctly.
Weak or incomplete flush
Adjust the flush valve height to ensure maximum water flow. Check that the chain from the flush lever is not too tight or too loose. Ensure the flapper is opening fully.
Water leak from tank to bowl
Confirm the tank-to-bowl gasket is properly installed and tightened. Ensure the flush valve is centered and securely mounted to the tank.
Difficulty adjusting flush valve height
Ensure you are twisting the adjustment mechanism in the correct direction as indicated in the installation instructions. If stuck, a small amount of lubricant may help, but avoid over-lubrication.
