FAQs
Is this seal compatible with all flush valves?
No, this seal is specifically designed for Skylo Flush Valves. Please verify your flush valve model before purchase.
How long does this seal typically last?
With proper installation and normal use, the seal is designed for durability and should last for many years. Lifespan can vary based on water quality and usage.
Do I need special tools to install this seal?
Basic tools like a screwdriver or pliers may be needed to disassemble parts of the flush valve, but no highly specialized tools are generally required for the seal replacement itself.
What should I do if the toilet still leaks after replacing the seal?
Double-check the installation for proper seating and cleanliness of the valve seat. If the issue persists, the flush valve body itself might be damaged and require replacement.

This product is sold as an individual replacement seal washer. Please check with your supplier for available repair kits.

Troubleshooting
Toilet continues to run after replacing the seal.
Ensure the seal is seated correctly and there is no debris on the valve seat. Check that the flush valve is not damaged or warped.
Weak flush after seal replacement.
Verify that the seal is not obstructing the flow of water too much. Ensure all other components of the flushing mechanism are functioning correctly.
