Recently, some users often send private messages that the toilet tank often has problems after being used for a period of time, and it is too expensive to find a master to repair it and even be pitted, so how to replace the toilet tank accessories by yourself?
First of all, let's understandWhat are the toilet tank accessories?
Toilet tank fittings are the core part of the toilet, known in the industry as the "heart of the toilet", which is mainly composed of inlet valves, drain valves and buttons. Roughly, it can be divided into two categories: conjoined and split. Siamese fittings are used for Siamese toilets. Split fittings are used for split toilets. The inlet valve part can be divided into side inlet and bottom inlet, and there is also rear inlet. The drain valve part can be divided into double press type, chain type and bucket type. The button part can be divided into side buttons, top buttons and front buttons.
Let's take a look at the specific replacement operation method:
How to replace the inlet valve
First remove the cover on the toilet tank and find the inlet valve in the tank, usually the nut that holds the inlet valve directly below it. Once you find the nut and remove it, the inlet valve can be removed, and then the new inlet valve can be installed in this position.
How to replace the drain valve
The drain valve and the inlet valve have the same fixed nut position directly below it. When installing, simply reinstall the previously removed fixing nut and check the firmness of the fixation by hand. After installation, simply reinstall the toilet seat. (The drain valve should be replaced to pay attention to whether the toilet at home is connected or split, because the drain valve is used to distinguish between connected and split).
How to replace the button
There are two types of buttons for toilet flushing, the side and the top, and some people say that the water tank should be replaced after the button is broken, otherwise there is no matching button. In fact, there is no need to replace the water tank, if the button is broken, you only need to buy the same size button accessories. The dimensioning of toilet buttons is to measure the diameter of the hole on the lid of the water tank or the diameter of the button nut.
After replacing the accessories, we must check whether the water tank will leak, press the button, and check whether the drainage is normal.
