It doesn’t work with adhesive sealants ?

Thank you so much for the video I am much more confident in setting my new Toto toilet. I was going to sleep at Holiday Inn Express thinking it might give me confidence but this video was much better.

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about!!

Hello, can you lock it from the inside without the app? How? 🤔 thanks

Durabond is better suited for prefilling because it’s stronger than hot mud.

I think it was 10-12 years ago now, but I only had to hear about a DIY'er improperly replacing a gas water heater on their own and they blew up their whole house while sleeping. Killed the whole family. That's all it took for me to decide I'll always hire a trained professional to handle any appliance that connects to a gas line. This video can still help me with knowing if a professional is doing what they're supposed to.

My toilet flushes weakly and barely empties the. Would this solve my problem? Thanks.

Why use mortar instead of the sealant on the shower collar and corners?

the yellow disk broke off and the replacement was just as you said. easy peasy. Thanks

Mine stops flushing( no water comes into tank).

In SW Ohio, (I don't know the rest of the country) shooting a screw into a product like B vent will fail an inspection 100% of the time. I assume based on the manufacturers and UL listing, I'd be STUNNED if screws are allowed. The manufacturer's trump local codes, and inspectors will defer to manufacturers. Also, B Vent will not be high temp. Because its dual wall, it won't burn your hands. Also, B Vent, like flexible gas line hardware is brand specific. B vent can also not be trimmed. A telescoping piece must be used for distance. On a PVC flue, it's not condensate. It's products of combustion. It's not like AC condensate.

Correction. Code does not allow single wall through any roof. Single wall pipe is run to a chimney where it is vented. If the chimney is clay tile lined, some inspectors will allow the pipe to enter the chimney. Because flue gases eat away mortar (something we've belatedly learned) the chimney must have a flue liner if its brick/mortar. B vent can run through a roof with a roof flashing, storm collar, and storm cap.

This makes sense. My case,I flush the handle down, drum raises and immediatly drum drops, leaves half the water in the tank, and toilet doesn't flush. I have to hold down handle till tank completely empties, and then it will flush. Replace drum?

I wasn’t aware that you have to push down on the cap… couldn’t figure it out until I saw your vid. Thanks! My toilet randomly starts filling and leaks from the handle. Think this seal could be the culprit? Already replaced the flapper.

Great video ,, Very much appreciated!

Rather than PULLING on the top half of those side latches, I like to PUSH in the bottom half of the latches towards middle.

I am so thankful for this video. I ordered the valve kit and the included instructions say to remove the whole tank and all. 10 minutes for this video saved me an hour of unnecessary effort and my toilet is now fixed.

Thanks Man. I'll find out on Saturday.

Thanks for doing the review on this. Home Depot currently has that as one of the free tools when purchasing another M18 product promotion. Cheers!

Can a light kit be added to these large industrial type fans?

Thanks so much for making this video Man. This may solve my problem. I already replaced the other unit on the left side.

I’ve only ever known toilet tank assemblies to have a flapper…so when my water level recently started dropping causing the toilet to intermittently refill, I figured it was probably time to replace the flapper. Much to my surprise when I removed the lid of the tank and found a canister assembly I was like what the heck is this…I literally had no idea what to even look up to try and figure out how to fix it cuz I didn’t know what it was called 😂. No thanks in part to my nosy spy phone, I was looking up a video on KZbin one day, completely unrelated to this topic, and lo and behold, your video randomly popped up! Thank God it did, because in that moment I learned this was called a canister assembly!! I will echo the same comments that so many others already have by saying, this video was incredibly educational, easy to follow and most importantly, beyond helpful! I just finished replacing the yellow gasket to start; will see if that does the trick. If not, I’ll move onto investigating your other suggestions regarding the fill valve and/or the canister replacement. Thank you so so much for putting this video out there and taking the time to so thoroughly explain the inner workings of this assembly. While it isn’t a rocket science assembly, just gaining the knowledge and understanding of all parts and components, how they all function and what their jobs are, is invaluable information for those of us who aren’t plumbers! Don’t get me wrong, there are times when you have to call a plumber, but then there are times like this, when you can find the solution as well as alternative troubleshooting options/ solutions from awesome videos like yours!! For reference, I have a Kohler 5380-CS5-AA tank. Many thanks again for this video!!

each time he uses the drill to remove the screws i cringe.

I saw another video that showed how to install the flush valve but, when I actually got my product delivered (I ordered it online from Home Depot), it had a different base than the one in the video. And, when I read the directions on my replacement product, they would have had me removing the tank to install a new base for the flush valve. So, I searched for that original video to watch it again and your video also came up in the list. Your title, "How To Fix a Kohler Canister Flush Valve In 60 Seconds" caught my eye. Thank God I watched it and realized that I didn't even need the new base. I kept the old base and just switched out the top. This may be the BEST video I ever watched on KZbin. Thank you!

Banjo never learned how to play one pal if you don’t get a bazooka, then go get one

I am using flat river rock on the top of an accent table. I want the colors to come out as if the stone is wet but I don’t want it to be glossy. What products do I use? Do I need to use 511 and also a sealer afterwards?

I replaced the canister easily (thank you!) but now my toilet is running. Is the chain too tight?

I see you do not understand where the water goes. The water that goes inside the canister is to refill the bowl. It does not fill up the inside of the canister for a flush…..did you even watch your toilet fill? Its a canister like that because the top of the opening is bigger than the opening going thru to the toilet which created a faster rush of water with a natural waterfall effect. The inside of the canister does not and cannot ever fill-up. Definitely need to understand how it works in order to help people fix it. Also. This part is replaceable. It’s called a Koehler flush piston repair kit. . Comes with just the inner pole and top yellow piece. When people give poor advice on a platform such as this….it creates a whole group of people believing the same incorrect information The proper part for anyone who has not already been misinformed by this video is shared with a link below a.co/d/g0GUOzb

You're so encouraging!

Really helpfull thanks

The 360 Radius sander is my preference, then use a small sanding block. Wipe the dust, then put a coat of Kilz primer, and two coats of paint. That’s my strategy!

Buy a usb wifi dongle instead and shorten the time to 1 minutes 😂

And when I flip it all the way. The faucet drips😢

Mine has a "stop" plug thing where i can't turn it hotter

My Kohler has a different valve that doesn't seem to come off with a quarter turn. It also came only with the valve stem, not the cylinder or the body it sits in. It claims it's compatible, I'm expecting I'll have to replace the entire body at this point.

Great story,I respect your work ethic. 👏

Thanks for this video!.. I was confused and about to buy and replace the return grille with a filter based return grille - This video saved my dime and time!.

Nice work Pard, I like how you explained every part and nuance of the process. I think that your doing real well, don't even address the haters talking crap.

So what comes with the kit? I would rather replace the fill valve and the canister. Is it 2 kits?

Great video, thank you! My Kohler Cimarron is about nine years old and I can hear it fill intermittently on its own. I remove the lid periodically and the water level in the tank is below the water line on the side of the tank. I got a replacement (the yellow one) gasket and asked a plumber to replace it when he was here for something else. He said it wasn't needed and did something quickly that stopped the filling. Now, about three years later, it's intermittently filling again. I don't know what he did. I do not hear water running, so the leakage is very slight. Is there an adjustment of some sort that he did? It was very quick. Thank you.

You didn’t show how to sync the wall switch to fan! Not very good explaining ahead of time!

My problem with this toilet is that the canister gets stuck at the top and runs water all night until someone notices running water. Do I need to adjust the chain's length?

There was no mention that acrylic expands and contracts due to temperature and humidity changes. Proper allowances must be made to permit this movement. Also, the DAP Dynaflex Ultra you used in the video is not suitable for plexiglass. DAP Ultra Clear or a 100% silicone should be used for this.

Thank you. Excellent. Just what I need to fix.

You explained this excellent!!!

Why do I have to hold the handle down to allow the water into the bowl? The canister does not float long enough to let water into the bowl.

Awesome!!!still looking for the part to complete the install!

It is pronounced “chi 2”.

I have a TieToc mini chainsaw and loved it until the batteries withered and would not take a charge. Do you know if there is another brand that can be fitted to this, like Ridgid, or DeWalt etc? If not, do you know if it is possible to get more batteries? Thanks for the video. It is a great handy saw except for the battery issue.
