I might have to buy a new toilet soon, my plumbing supply guy suggested buying a Mansfield, and doing this to get what I'm used to. Great video! Excellent presentation! Concise and to the point.
Perfect solution to my toilet not flushing long enough. Was a pain to keep holding the handle down to get extra flush time. Ordered the part and only replaced the part you suggested. Works great! Thank you.
Excellent video and great inexpensive solution for a toilet that I was very disappointed with! Thank you.
Bought the part and did the replacement following the instructions in the video. It solved the problem. You only need to replace the piston/bell. It really is about a 3 minute task. Thank you.
Excellent solution to the poor flush in my 1.6 gallon Mansfield. Simple three minute fix. I didn't need the full 3.5 gallons produced by this new flush dome, so I bent the float rod down so that the toilet fills about a gallon less.
Great video and good step by step instructions. Much appreciated.
Thanks buddy! I'm definitely going to give this a try.
Thank you for this video!!! I wish worked in my area, I would hire you in a heartbeat for any plumbing issues. Well done.
SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you
Very cool! Thanks for the video!
Thanks, worked perfectly!
Pretty cool, thanks!
OMG after two months of snaking, plunging and putting up with a sluggish NEW toilet, I see what the problem is here. THANK YOU! They really need to recall that part-the headaches it causes! Also, don't know if same for all but we got a ROUND flimsy toilet seat in our box with the ELONGATED bowl.
This is a great video. My toilet parts are not easily removable due to hardwater deposits. Can I spray with CLR or Limeaway in order to loosen?
Great video solved my issue
Thank you!
It worked so glad - I won't need the plunger in the future. Thank you
Glad we can help
Why didn't you show the actual flush?
Will having more water per flush make my toilet clogs overflow? Right now they reach the top of bowl. Also where did you place video to change washer?
Thanks
Thank you, I just ordered that part. We have hated this toilet and hopefully, this will fix the problem.
I just received the part. It says on the package to reinstall tank to bowl with a new gasket which isn't included. Is this something we need to do?
Did it work?
just replaced the gasket and toilet handle and my bell does not stay up long enough for a full flush anymore. Thanks for this, I will order this right now
Thank you! Just bought a brand new toilet and was very disappointed with this
I just got an new/old stock 3173 Alto. Was stumped as to why it wouldn't flush more than about a third of a tank. Then I noticed there were 2 holes in the flapper allowing the water to fill flapper very fast and the flapper would fall down faster than it should, resulting in an incomplete flush. I found some round plastic plug, or cap, or something in the junk drawer and squeezed it into the hole on the (side) of the flapper. Flapper now stays up longer, with a better flush. Now I find out there were supposed to be 4 different size plugs for the flapper. There were none in my box. I also see you are supposed to put one of those plugs in the bottom hole of the flapper (according to the CZcams) video I saw anyway.
Will this also work for a Mansfield Alto 1.28 gallon toilet? Or can you only convert the 1.6 gallon to 3.5 gallon.
I just bought a Mansfield dual flush 4384 ctk. I haven’t installed but am worrying kids might have problems pushing the buttons due to a CZcams video saying don’t buy the buttons are really hard to push. Any idea if they are all that way?
I have a tower in my Mansfield and the tower looks Ike the white one in your video BUT it also has a foam float just above the short bell. What's up with this?
Anyone know where I can get the 210 bell for the 160 tank. I went to the Mansfield website but all that is listed is a 211 series.
Is the Mansfield flapper system supposed to save water by dropping before all the water drains out of the tank? I’m wondering if doing that can cause clogs because there’s not enough water to flush the waste all the way. We have a septic tank in our newly-built house and we have had to call the plumbers out twice already because the toilet in my in-law suite gets clogged. It has a Mansfield flapper like the one in the video. I use only 1-ply tissue (and not too much of it, either), and I don’t flush anything else except the toilet paper. I don’t pour any grease or bits of food down the sink in the kitchenette; nothing but water and dishwashing liquid. What could be causing the clogs??
Let us know the model number usually found inside the tank. Some of the new ones do have a flapper but they also still make it with their trademark piston system. As shown in the video sometimes you can change the piston to provide more water. This also applies to the flapper style. Some flappers allow more water. Let us know.
how does sewer work in apartments?
Nike hat and Under Armour shirt. Definitely a plumber.
I have a 1.6 GPF Mansfield 160-130 Alto with very disappointing flush. If I install the 3.5 GPF valve is there a chance my tank will overfill and flood the bathroom? The installing plumber says 3.5 GPF tanks are illegal in my state (Illinois) - would that make installing this part illegal and then also invalidate my warranty?
It will work flawless. However 3.5 gallon toilets are no longer made because the government wants to "go green" saving water. They stopped making them in 1994. 2022 they are dropping to 1.2 gallon. They also regulate the screens on your faucets too. Every few years the lower the flow out of kitchen and bathroom sinks.
@@PlumbingPartsPro Luckily after several days use flushing with the Mansfield got okay. Don’t know why at first that wasn’t so, but happy ending. PS. I’m all for going green. Anyway, thanks for your comment.
Can I use this complete kit on a Mansfield 160A? The stem to the flush stop broke. Thanks?
So if the threads that the cap screws on broke off, you must replace the entire flush valve by taking the tank off the bowl
@@PlumbingPartsPro yes I’ve already ordered full kits for 3 toilets (2 as a preventative step) since these are about 13 years old. I just wished the 160 flushed more completely. Maybe after replacing everything just use the sleeve from this kit?
@@debconley2310 yes the flush from this 210 flush valve will do much better than the 211 low flow valve
@@PlumbingPartsPro thanks so much. I hate the 1.6 “water saving” feature as when people have to flush more than once or end up unblocking it defeats the purpose.
Will this work for the vanquish model?
Exactly
The Vanquish is a newer model that doesn't use the same flushing system.
*AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Bruv.
SO the KEY here is the last person to change that valve was an idiot! They put in the 1.6 gal. AS SOON AS YOU COMPARED THE VALVES SIDE BY SIDE (and described the dif of 1.6 and 3.5) I knew what must be done. You saved me the hassle of removing my tank. Didn't even shut of the water, just held the float. We have wondered why to get a "good" flush we had to hold the handle longer.
*I feel like I should send you some money.*
this video showed a Mansfield 160 toilet with 211 bell and then you replaced it with 210 bell?
The 210 bell allows more water and provides a better flush
@@PlumbingPartsPro bought my home in 2005 new build. toilet is a Mansfield 160 and the bell is already white. so its already done?
@@patkelly7839 not necessarily. They all used to be white even the 211. The 210 is more like an upside down umbrella as where the 211 is more gradual coned. Hard to explain
My tank has 3 holes for 3 bolts but my bowl has just TWO...WHY? HELP
The tank is the wrong tank for the bowl. You can't mix match brands. Mansfield and Kohler have 3 bolts all other brands 2 bolts.
@@PlumbingPartsPro that's what came with the house when we moved in...do I just buy a new tank? Or can I plug up the hole with something? It's a Mansfield tank...Idk what the bowl is...it doesn't say.
@@awkwardautistic let's talk via email. Send me pictures. Info@plumbingpartspro.com
@@PlumbingPartsPro thank you!! I'll send pictures.
Isn't that cheating though since it now uses more water
Worst toilet I’ve ever had the displeasure of using.
Same here. I'm going to try this. Hope it works.
Me three same problem, hope this works.
we have 3 Mansfield toilet (them) in our home, and we hate them so much. Those Mansfield toilet model 160 are trash. We don't know how many times we have to use plunger 🪠 on those toilet.
Yeah but if you do that it will overflow everytime time it clogs. And that will be EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
And these Alto’s clog easily so it will happen. I don’t want my toilet to overflow everytime it clogs.
It's doesn't flush well and clogs due to lack of water. Try it and if you don't like it, change it back. It's a super easy remedy. Works well too
@@PlumbingPartsPro But i don’t want my toilet to overflow and make a HUGE DISGUSTING MESS.
@@sionspeaks YOU are the only one ASSUMING this will happen. It's worked for tons of people. So just deal with your poor flushing toilet and stop complaining about it here.
@@PlumbingPartsPro sion speaks is right u cant do that and cause a mess
Yep, these toilets are not designed for a real man crap.
Dawn dish detergent, time and vigorous plungeration, the only remedy. Stupid design. Toilet gets cleaned out!
Toto 1.6gal works great. COSTCO!
