Review on Toilet Tank Flush Lever Replacement: American Standard, Straight Arm, White - Upgrade Your Bathroom Functionality! by Don Leblanc

Someone installed a right angle metal lever and bent it to attach to the flush mechanism. This made it difficult to flush the toilet and then the connection between the handle and the lever came loose, probably due to the extra stress that wasn't designed to flex. standard toilet. EDIT based on experience: Two identical toilets in my house, used about the same, and I just bought the 5th new one in 18 months. They continue to break where they are weak so they can be easily trimmed. i need full length After the new one broke I used "structural epoxy" to fix it. Then it broke where it attaches to the handle. It happened three times and my "repair" never broke down. The problem is that the handle is not properly designed for full length use, which is what my model of toilet requires.
