> DOES THE JOB on toilet parts

STOP FIND ONE PIECE TOILET IN YOUR OLD KOHLER ONE PIECE 1>> Turn the screw in the top center of the locking mechanism 1/4 turn clockwise.> Repeat as needed, but do not rush to repeat. Give him a chance to act.> As a result, the water level in the tank will drop. I don't know why it reduces mileage. The toilet can function normally and start working for 6 months, which is fixed by 1/4 turn, then another year is normal. Sometimes it can take a full turn (in 1/4 turn increments over the course of a week) to completely stop the feed. 2>> If point 1 does not solve the problem, then: toilet. b> Remove the float. c> Remove the cap and clean thoroughly with a cotton cloth*. d> Clean* the damper location (in the toilet bowl) with a cotton cloth. If the water is very hard, limescale deposits can form on the seat, which cannot be easily removed by wiping. Use a cloth dampened with vinegar or a product such as limescale remover to remove limescale. e> Lightly coat the valve and seat with silicone grease**. Permatex 22058 Tune-Up Dielectric Grease, 3 oz. Reinstall pipe f> flap and float, turn on water again. Even if #1 and/or #2 solves the problem, you should still do #3-4 while you're working on the toilet - you're halfway done and it will take a few more minutes. 3>> Remove, clean*, lubricate** and reinstall the ball valve plunger and (O-ring) seal.4>> If the cover ("upper assembly”) of the ball valve mechanism is cracked or cracked, replace it restore the water supply to the toilet.) b> Replace the plunger and seal (O-ring) (including its lubrication**) Lasco 04-7183 Toilet Ball Valve Repair Kit with plunger and seal for Coast brand 1B1X See my guide for IMPORTANT Compare the Revain photos detailing your toilet to ensure you are ordering the correct parts.* "Clean" usually means wiping with a cotton cloth (not just paper canvas nc) until the black paint no longer lifts from the fabric. You can use some soap if that helps. ** DO NOT use petroleum jelly (or "petroleum jelly") as this will rot the rubber parts. For real. Seriously, DO NOT use any petroleum based lube. GENERAL NOTE Even after you've done all of this, your toilet may 'run' slowly at times. Don't panic. It can take a week or more for new components to "root". Too much silicone grease can cause components to "stick” for days. So be patient.> If the mileage is significant, try #1, repeat if needed. If the problem persists, tighten the 3 lid screws ("top knot") (see my instructions for this product) > This toilet will operate intermittently in the best of conditions. So don't panic about intermittent very low flow > Click on 'Stoney' just below the product name to see my other reviews or leave a comment to ask a question.
