Review on ๐Ÿšฝ Mansfield Chrome Finish Toilet Tank Flush Lever Replacement Handle - Optimize Your Search! by Brandon Mercado

Revainrating 3 out of 5

right part. Bad molding

This is an exact replacement for my Mansfield toilet handle. To install, I had to saw off about 3 inches of the lever arm to fit the feedback shift interface (third photo). The sleeve cannot be threaded through the loop without shortening the sleeve or disassembling the toilet bowl. I decided to cut off my hand. After sawing the part off, I rotated the valve cylinder so the end of the lever could be indexed through the loop, then rotated the cylinder back into working position. (first and second photo). This is where another problem arose, as the lever arm was deformed and cast under constant pressure on the inside of the derailleur loop. Under this pressure, the cylinder valve remains open and does not close. To fix this I had to heat the elbow of my arm over the stove until it was at a right angle (you can see where I bent my arm to the right of the elbow). This relieved the pressure and allowed the cylinder to fall freely after purging. The handle of the part will likely last for many years but may break due to the poor shape of the part. Since I had to heat the part to fix it, internal stresses can easily damage the plastic. The right part that worked in the end but didn't turn out that way. They could use lessons in designing and molding plastic parts.
