There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did a lot of research before buying this set and learned that quite a few new toilet manufacturers use all Fluidmaster components; this is quite a compliment.
The instructions are very thorough, clear and written in easy-to-understand language (in Spanish too). That isn’t true of some other brands. Note that it is important to thoroughly clean off scale, rust, and gunk from all areas of the tank and toilet which are going to have rubber gaskets seated on them, otherwise you will have leaks or poor functioning of your new “guts”. After installation, my toilet worked perfectly, even better than a new toilet since it is an older model which uses more water than the new models.
NOTE: you MUST determine either the tank capacity or the year of manufacture in order to choose the correct Fluidmaster model. This one is for older model toilets, specifically for 1.6 and larger gallons per flush toilets, and with a 2″ flush valve as mine does: it dates to 1999. The flush valve hole determines this size. The newer models use much smaller amounts of water and will not flush completely.
I highly recommend replacing ALL components inside the tank, as the gaskets, rubber, plastic and vinyl parts become brittle or gummy due to the corrosive effect of the chlorine which is added to municipal water supplies. In my tank, I discovered that the plastic tube on my flush valve had become brittle and cracked and was leaking, and the flush valve gasket (between the tank and toilet) had turned to a gooey mush and was another source of leaks. ALL of the other gaskets were suspect which is why it is best to replace the whole shebang at once. Check the Fluidmaster website for particulars of each model repair kit before you choose one.
BTW, Fluidmaster suggests changing the guts of your toilet every 5 years due to deterioration of the components. While I personally think most folks will get > 5 years out of the tank guts, it is smart to keep a sharp eye on it.
Background:
My house is 16 years old now and there are 3 Mansfield toilets, model #160. All of their rubber gaskets fall off and sometimes it will block the flush valve opening so water keeps leaking to the toilet bowl. I was just going to replace the flush valve but I saw this kit and I think why not.
The good:
1. Good quality
This kit comes in a great packaging, and is easy to open. It comes with detailed instruction and all the parts you need. Most importantly, they are well built.
2. Great engineering design
I am pretty impressed by some of its designs. For example, you can adjust the height of fill valve by simply twisting the lower shank. You can also adjust the tank water level by simply turning the adjustment screw. Oh you can even adjust the flush performance by turning the rubber on the flapper!
The "bad“:
Don't get me wrong. I rated 5 stars for this product. I think it's well worth the price. But I do think there are some rooms for improvement.
1. Instruction too detailed
I just found the instruction contains everything you need to know to install the kit, but it's a little bit too much and it could be overwhelming for beginners. There is just so much you need to carefully read through, to ensure you don't install things wrong.
2. Parts not well labeled
The instruction does list all parts in the kit, but I think it would be better if there are some numbers or letters on the parts so that you can easily identify which part is which. For example, the flush valve comes with a thick red rubber gasket. On part 3 of the instruction, the picture shows the rubber gasket needs to be installed as the last layer in the tank. But then it also shows you need to put "tank to bowl gasket" on the bottom of flush valve. It actually took me half an hour to figure out that the red rubber gasket is actually the "tank to bowl gasket". The rubber gasket mentioned earlier was actually already installed on the flush valve pipe.
3. Cut overflow pipe
The overflow pipe that comes with the kit is 9.75" long. You will most likely need to cut it because the instruction said the top of overflow pipe must be 1" below bottom of the tank level hole. I couldn't find my hand saw so I had to use something else to cut it short. It would be cool if they design the overflow pipe just like the fill valve, where you can just turn to make it longer or shorter.
4. Bend tank level
The new lever is straight. The instruction said you would need to bend it. Why not just design it as a bended lever? I had to bend and hold it for at least 5 minutes to see the result.
5. Only comes with 2 tank bolts
The kit only comes with 2 tank bolts, but my Mansfield toilet has 3 bolt holes. The kit actually includes extra rubber washers for 3 bolt toilets. The instruction said you would have to reuse one of your existing bolt sets along with the new rubber. I actually bought "Mansfield 630-0204 2" SmartFasten Tank to Bowl Kit" and used that instead.
The bottom line:
This is a great kit and could be everything you need to completely replace your old fill and flush valve. It's well worth the money.
Instructions are reasonably clear - though some of their recommended clearances had to be modified for our take (pieces are meant to be cut to size - remember: measure twice, cut once!).
The other problem I had was I did not cot off the excess chain for the flapper, and sometimes when the flapper went down, it landed on the chain. I could not for the life of me figure out why my 'new' toilet worked fine one time and seemed to run forever the next. Chalk it up to my error. Once you've got the chain set up correctly, don't forget to cut off the excess.
Had it for about 6 weeks now, and it's flawless so far and appears well-made enough to last a long time.
Great deal for the money: sure beats either hiring a plumber to 'renovate' or replace your toilet and anyone with a modicum of patience and a few hand tools can do it, though if you're not strong, you may require help wrestling the tank off the toilet and back on.

Las instrucciones muy claras.
The only thing I would change about the kit would be to add wing nuts for the bolts to hold the tank to the base. Other than that, I am extremely happy.
