OMG, I’ve been paying about $200.00 for a plumber to do this, for YEARS! Thank you so much.❤
You’re welcome! Thanks so much for choosing to watch our video!!
Best instructions on CZcams! Cleaning the base first and then spinning the gasket to make sure it is in place are the best tips. Now after a week of trying, we finally have 2 fixed leaks. Thank You.
I looked up several videos. I feel like you were the only one that said to spin the gasket into place. I did that then, voila! My toilet was suddenly fixed! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you Stacy for letting us know our video was helpful! We appreciate you!
TY. Far superior to the video from mansfield. The hands of the presenter as well as the failure to adjust the camera angle from outside the tank to inside took away from the value. Your camera placement solved this issue. Well done. Again, TY. Now I can fix my friends toilet.
Thanks you so much for the kind words. Good luck on your new project! Keep us posted with great success story if you can please!
Good video with clear instructions. I think the Mansfield tower is superior to flappers with chains.
It is a shame they had to abandon that plan. It worked for a few decades. Thanks for watching our video!
Thank you
You are welcome!!!
Thank you. just fixed two seals through your help. Watched other videos on the subject but kept having leaks after fixing. Your video made me see that the seal goes into a real groove as shown in your video. now leaks have stopped. Thanks
Best view to see how to install the gasket thanks!
Thanks for explaining which groove the gasket goes on...I got it to stop leaking! I pay for my water...which I call liquid gold. I certainly don't need to waste my $$
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for a clear and precise video. Saved us a plumber visit and addressed the "leaking" issue after replacing the seal. Thanks so much!!!
We love hearing the success stories and you are welcome!!!!
Thanks that looks so easy. I can now replace my gasket with confidence.
Great! VERY clear! And nothing left to presumed understandings that we don't have. That's because she gives precise information about the details that we need to know and she relates that information in a stepwise process. Thank you for not wasting our time with confusing stuff that leaves out things that we need to know and also doesn't add a bunch of stuff that we don't need to know.
Awww thank you Jeanne Patrice for the kind words! We are so glad this was helpful! Knowing and sharing the little tricks help with having a successful outcome! We love hearing yours!-Renee

Toilet????
Yea after I fiddled around this afternoon putting the gasket around the bottom groove instead of the top one ... I finally got it right but had I watched this video it would have taken a lot less time ... thanks for the upload ...
So Glad it helped!!
Exactly what happened to me first time I did this rework (I didn't have these excellent instructions to guide me). I kept trying to put seal on the bottom groove!
I need a video on how to replace the OLDER type of Mansfield flush valve seal gaskets. The big black ones. I think it's probably simple, but I haven't seen it done.
It has been such a long time since I had to change a black gasket out of the Mansfield but I think the tower unscrews like the one with the red gasket and thin just pay attention to how the black one comes off. I think it also goes in a groove. Good luck and let us know how you did😊
Thank you! Easy to follow guidance and clear understanding that gasket goes in top groove.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!!
This video helped me fix my toilet. I was used of the ones with the flapper...this is new to me.. and so much easier.
Nice and simple instruction. Save us $$ for repair. Appreciated and God bless.
We love to hear the success stories!!! God bless you as well!!!!
Thanks. The instructions were perfect.'
Thanks Renee! Your instructions and tutorial was straight and simple!!
Thank you so much for giving the valuable information. I did the exact instruction and it is fixed. You are our savior! Thank you again. 😊💯👏
You're so welcome!
super clear video. thanks
Best yet! Wish you and your company blessings for sharing.
Love your demonstration. Such a lovely lady
Thank you ! You are so kind!!
Your video is awesome!
I'll NEVER buy a Mansfield!! It was the builder's choice for this house. I've never had a problem with other brands over YEARS and YEARS of service.
Thanks, very helpful!
Very good video, so very well explained. Thank you. Now I know how to fix with confidence. I have definitely subscribed to your channel. Please keep showing amazing plumbing videos 😊
Thank you so much for supporting us!! We have intentions of getting started back on more instructional videos at the end of summer .Right now we are really busy in the field and it is a little challenging to even get out one short video a week!! Thanks again for watching!!!
Thanks. Looks so easy.
Used the word gently a lot. Lol ive done this several times and never was gentle. I'm not picking, it's just a little funny. Thanks for the video. I always have to check 1st ring or 2nd ring
Can you explain why the handle needs more force to flush because of a failed gasket, I never heard of this. Is that just a quirk of the Mansfield flush valve or do other flush valves suffer similar fates.
The gasket gets worn and molded, for a lack of a better term, to the flush valve creating a suction effect causing it to be extremely hard to flush, sometimes breaking the handle. It is more prominent in Mansfield but Kohler and American Standard have similar styles that do the same.
Great question! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@TappPlumbing You are 100% correct that this can and does sometimes occur. With your expert help I was able to fix the American Standard toilet at my church. By replacing that gasket, we saved a lot of money, that we didn't have, by not having to call a plumber. Your video is the only one I found on CZcams that addresses this odd occurrence. Thank you so much!
My piece seems to be light
I push down and it stops running
Take my hands off it runs
Sorry for such a delayed response, do you have everything figured out?
Will this stop the knocking when flushed?
Replacing the gasket will probably not stop any kind of a knocking noise, that more than likely has something to do with the fill valve. If the knocking only happens at that toilet and no where else. If the knocking is present in other places it could be your pressure reducing valve. You may want to check your water pressure regardless. Good luck and keep us posted please.
@@TappPlumbing thank you 😊. Its only with that toilet. We just had the water pressure checked a month ago for a different issue. Thank you again for responding to my message
My issue is that the lever isn’t being pushed back in place, so the water just continues to run & I have to manually lift the handle to put it back in place. How do I fix that?
That is normally something related to the way handle is operating. It could be pulling the plastic tower and causing it to lean. Some times you have to CAREFULLY put a gentle bend in the handle. Just make sure the tower is moving perfectly straight up and back down. Keep us posted please. Thanks for watching our video!
@@TappPlumbing thanks! Turns out, I did just unscrew the handle slightly & it’s working fine (for now!) :)
Good deal . Thanks for the update !
This didn’t work on the 160. I needed a 2 in gasket.
We are sorry it did not work for you but are glad you figured it out!
Inherited a 1998 1.6 gpf, (low mono-tank) flat rod action. The flush tower appears to have been siliconed to tank bottom replacing a standard type spud gasket. Can't believe that was ever done by manufctr.
Will try a Lincoln Products: 1.6gpf for a Mansfield 211
just based on measurements.
Cannot find "Model 211" on porcelain casting or at the painted badge back of seat.
I call out this oddball Mansfield instead by, "The Low-Flusher-as-Battled-by-Hank, on 'King of the Hill' cartoon in the 1999 (? apprx) episode where he had to flush 3 x 1.6, even after dieting 🤣"
LOL, sometimes it is best to replace those old toilets. Happy Plumbing!!
About how long will a new gasket last?
That really depends on water quality. The best way to know if it is wearing out is if the handle is hard to press down to flush. If it is it is time to change the gasket before the handle breaks:)
@@TappPlumbing Thank you for you're reply.
Years ago I had a handle break because of that.
Thank you. Very helpful. Problem - I snapped the tower in the process. How do I fix that part?
RENEE, THAT LOOKS EASY? FOR ME ?
What a terrible design but a good instructional video.
Fortunately we can’t take the blame for the design right?😂 Thanks so much for your kind words and watching our video!
