Review on Chrome Finish Handle Mansfield Blue Toilet Tank Flush Lever Replacement by Luis Blaschko

Revainrating 4 out of 5

With a slight bend it fits perfectly

I couldn't find the correct cistern number on the toilet but I did find the closest Mansfield lever number is 42. The grip on this shut-off lever cannot be loosened by hand. So after putting my hand through the hole in the tank from the front, I had to bend my arm a bit and also bend the toilet seat mechanism a bit to fit my hand into the mechanism. I only folded things by hand; I didn't use external heat, unlike some other reviewers who used a stovetop or hair dryer to soften the plastic. I didn't have to shorten my arm either. Once the lever was built into the movement, it fit as well or even better than the original. Note that my tank has a slightly concave temple that (to my surprise) almost perfectly matches the curve of the arm. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it seems pretty cheap for an $8 piece and I have my doubts. how well it holds up. But he did his job to my complete satisfaction.

Pros
