Toilet Repair Question?
I installed a new flush valve and fill valve in my toilet. I’ve attached the tank back onto the bowl and everything seems fine, but when I flush the toilet it drips water from the bolt that connects the tank to the bowl. I tried using the tank-to-bowl gasket that came with the kit, but that just makes a ton of water leak everywhere, so I went back to the old gasket. It still drips though. I’ve tried repositioning it, tightening the bolts one at a time. Taking it off and trying to make sure it’s level. Is there some trick? If I leave it filled with water overnight might the weight compress the gasket down enough? Is there some deluxe gasket you can recommend? Any help is appreciated.
I think there must be something wrong with the “gasket” that came with the kit. Once you’ve connected it (even if it’s new), where it did not work correctly, you need to get a new one. For now use the old gasket (as it leaks only a tiny bit). Take your “kit” back to the store and get another kit; as there must be something defective in the one you originally purchased. Some places will refund your money and give you the new kit anyways, as you’ve had to go out of your way to go back to the store due to a defective part. (I went through this with my own toilet — lol)
And, here’s a reference for you, in case you want more info:
