How to replace a toilet flapper without a chain?
My toilet flapper doesnt have a chain attached to it, it never did. The rod from the handle went directly through a small rectangular hole, when you pushed down on the lever the rod pushed up inside of the rectangle and a large plastic cylinder moved up, which allowed to toilet to flush. Recently the small circular rubber seal went bad, causing the toilet to run all night. I went to change out the flapper with a universal one, but I cant seem to get the inside of the plastic cylinder off. It looks like it is screwed in but I can't unscrew it. Has anyone had any experience with a toilet like this?
Toilet Chain Help!!!?
someone just did not remove the old chain. there sould be only one.chain connecting the flush handle wih the flapper valve. There are 2 types of floats. The newer ones slide up and down verticly on the hardware to the left in the tank. The old versions are the float that sticks outo the right from that same hardware on the left. Either way, there are adjustments to help the float acctually float. When you flush the float drops and the lever it is on opens the fill valve. In order to stop the fill vlave when the tank fills up, the float must rise, and the levers shuts off the water. You need to unscrew a few rotaions to make it reach out further, thus causing more leverage in order to shut off the water. You can also bent the connecting rod down, so as the water comes up the float begins to rise earlier. If ou have anewer version, the adjust the float down so it floats earlier. edit.....the tank sould begin filling right away once you flush. The foat operates the on/off switchin the filler valve. if it is stuck and stays up, then the water will not come on, and the tank won't fill. so you may want to make sure nothing got wedged in there, that is preventing it from going up and down freely. if none of this works, you can buy the entire assembly for less than $25 and it's pretty easy to replace. also check to make sure the water in on at the wall. the two spots for the chain is just to help adjust the chain to the right length, and also it lets you make sure the flapper drops in the correct direction. You don't want to be pulling the flapper in an odd direction, or it might not seat properly causing you toilet run constantly. It's just for fine tuning the flapper action.

Toilet chain keeps rusting/breaking?
My toilet's chain (chain that connects to the flapper), keeps on rusting and breaking causing my toilet to run all the time. Our landlord just replaced the whole flapper/chain and instead of it staying silver it turns brown (rust?) and today i went to use the bathroom and it wouldn't flush when i checked the tank the chain was broken and in pieces at the bottom. Why is it doing this? Is there a problem with the toilet or something? Because the chain at my parents is silver, and no problems at all and it was there for over 1 year and it's still silver. Ours was just put on a couple months ago and it turns brown (rusted) and causes our toilet to run a lot. What do i do?
How to fix a toilet handle that won't come back up after flushing?
I have a Mansfield toilet. The flush handle broke off, so I bought and installed a replacement handle and lever. It was difficult to get the lever through the loop on the flush valve (the toilet uses a Mansfield flush valve rather than a conventional chain). Now the toilet will flush, but you have to manually push the handle back up afterwards to stop it from continuing to flush. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
When I press down on the toilet handle it does nothing, what do i do?
Lift the lid off the toilet tank and look at the flush handle mechanism. You will probably see a pull chain that has either broken or come loose. If it came loose, crimp it shut with a pair of long-nose pliers, otherwise it will come loose again. If it broke, you can get a replacement chain in the plumbing department of your home improvement store.

How do I keep my Toto toilet flapper from continually tearing where the chain connects?
It sounds like the chain that connects between the handle and the flapper is too short. That way it puts stress on that attachment point when the handle is fully pressed. Get a longer chain or adjust the attachment point of the handle.
