Excellent presentation. Any fear of doing this myself have been flushed away.

[@Rajai9817]

Was that a pun ? Lol

[@cuttingedj2011]

Well stated!

[@beckyhdominguez3372]

😂

[@jeffg329]

Puns. The top tier of comedy. 😂

[@popoymotmot]

This is the clearest video on how to replace the flush valve and his voice is very calming and relaxing.

[@RogerWakefield]

Wow, thanks!

[@lorddabber3016]

Agreed!

[@colinmason9301]

As an educator, I appreciate how you went through the process step-by-step and provided clear explanations of each step. Great info, thanks!

[@StuartMcconney]

Good value. Clear succinct and to the point. 80% of the diy video on KZbin should be looking at this video as a benchmark. From one trainer/instructor to another, well done, take a bow.

[@alisonvenugoban68]

Hi Mr Wakefield, I was so pleased to come across your KZbin segment on how to fix a running toilet! I'm an Aussie lady currently in lockdown due to the Covid virus and couldn't get a plumber to fix the toilet which was running all the time, the only time it didn't was when I turned off the water intake tap so I wasn't wasting water. Being in my 60's now and recently divorced I no longer have my husband to do all the plumbing (!!) so I decided to do some research and fix it myself. And while I was looking on the internet I found your piece! Fifteen minutes after watching, my toilet problem was fixed! So I saved myself a lot of money calling out a plumber and now I feel so self-confident because I did it myself! Thank you so much!

[@breannfredrickson8302]

This is so helpful! My dad was a plumber and would normally help me out with all these kinds of things but he passed away last year so I'm trying to navigate these household things myself! He'd be proud that I'm doing it on my own- I appreciate these videos! Off to Lowe's I go!

[@RogerWakefield]

Breann Fredrickson I'm proud that you are doing it as I am sure that your dad is too. I wish I could get my grand-daughters to take up plumbing. What do you do for a living?

[@breannfredrickson8302]

@@RogerWakefield I now have a leak coming from the seal, I think. Water is off and I'll be taking a closer look again later today! I work as a contracts & assignments specialist at a university- I help all of our incoming students secure housing!

[@gvc1959]

I love the cut away toilet tank. Makes it so easy to see what’s going on

[@rebeccaperez2294]

Thank you Mr. Wakefield for your clear explanation and good demonstration.

[@miguelgranados2784]

Your instructions are clear, and concise. Very easy to follow! Thank you for the video.

[@frankbrown3047]

Well done! You made it easy to follow. I'm glad I bumped into this video before I started the rebuild on mine. I'll be following this channel for all my plumbing repairs.

[@carolcantwell4107]

Thank you Roger! Your videos make it easy for a single girl such as myself to feel empowered enough to try these repairs. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and explain every step to us lay people!

[@wg3927]

This video was 5 years ago but it still helps people. It helped me. I just lifted the flush valve and clean around it. It stopped the leak. Thank you Mr. Wakefield. We've been paying $100 more than average bill. The water company sent a reminder that we might have leaks and to check everything.

[@RogerWakefield]

Good on the water company for giving a heads up!

[@genemontgomery5722]

Great job

[@mariatejada725]

I am a woman in my 60's and I changed out everything in my bowl thanks to your step by step guidance. You are a God sent! Thanks!

[@user-wo9ub2bl1q]

Thanks for the videos Roger and easy to understand instructions. My tank has 3 bolts instead of 2 and when the flush valve was turned all the way it was difficult to screw in the 3rd bolt. I resolved this by rotating the flush valve back. Also my bolt replacements came with rubber tapered washers for 2 per bolt along with a metal washer. Took a couple tries to realize I only needed the rubber washers inside the tank and not on both sides. The metal washers I used for the 3 nuts to avoid cracking the porcelain. Because my original bolts and nuts had fused together (replaced with brass plated hardware), it took about 2 hours to saw them off with a metal hacksaw and round handle since this was the only way to access the bolts. As an Information Technology Manager and professional trainer, your video seemed to only handle the "happy path" under ideal conditions and didn't address older or less optimal edge cases. Still Roger , I appreciated your presentation and have subscribed to your channel. Like computer software, you also need to account for the exceptions, and I'd also be interested to know exactly how the fill valve works internally to shut off the water. Seems like the float is restricted to a certain level that somehow stops the flow of water coming into the toilet. Then again that the way geeks are we want to know how everything works.

[@donwilliams6783]

very helpful. Clear step by step demonstration. Thank you!

[@seann9642]

Great video Roger. The cut out display makes it easy to follow what you're doing. You have a mellow, plainspoken style that's also really engaging. Nicely done!

[@kathyraph2995]

Great instructions. You made it seem less intimidating. I took your advice and replaced both the flush valve and the fill valve - was glad I did! Easy peasy!

[@josephsingleton3400]

Your videos are helping my transition from a new construction plumber to a residential service plumber. Thanks for these

[@Hhyb2006]

You're a really good teacher. I was nervous to attempt this by myself, but I just finished after following your procedure and it worked like a charm. Kudos!

[@tod2992]

This is the exact video I was searching for. Absolutely excellent. Thanks

[@1texasminer]

That was good information. A quality, easy to view, well explained instructional video. Most videos relating to toilet leak repairs are about flapper valve or fill valve replacements. Thanks for going into the repairs a little deeper, with detailed, step by step instructions on this particular job.

[@MT-pp1dg]

Great video! My husband and I followed all your steps and our toilet works great! Thank you so much for your video!

[@boothguy]

Excellent - the tank cutaway makes a crystal-clear presentation. Even though I "thought" I knew how to tackle this project, it's always smart to check first. And this video is a winner. Thanks, Mr. Wakefield.

[@joelcopen3920]

Hey Roger! I knew I needed to put in a new flush valve, and your video was the perfect prep instruction to know what to do - thank you!

[@jillasiala4703]

Thank you, I go to you first for my plumbing needs and you did not disappoint!! This was so much less intimidating than I imagined and was a lot quicker than I though. No leaks!!!

[@briansparks1632]

Used this video twice now on two different flush valves. Clearest explanation and visuals out there. Thank you and bravo.

[@njshned]

Great instruction!!! Done in 20 minutes. No mess.

[@damicoluci]

Thank you for the clear instructions! I followed this video to replace flush valve and stopped the toilet leak! Thank you!

[@RogerWakefield]

Glad it helped

[@eckookoo1914]

Mr. Wakefield, this how-to video should be the textbook material for all entry level DYI enthusiasts! You ARE great! Very methodical and yet easy to understand 👍👍👍

[@RogerWakefield]

Glad it was helpful!

[@weirddeere]

Thank you for the clear and succinct video, shows the details of what isn't too complicated of a job. I probably spent more time getting tools from the shed then working on it. Then dealing with a completely rotted and stuck tank to bowl bolt. Ground the head off from the inside and made that much easy!

[@desireelondon2078]

This video is awesome. Its easy step by step insulation.

[@bmwMbuzz]

Very useful video and very well explained. Thanks.

[@chuckleloaf]

Thank you for this! It was clear, concise, and well shot. It helped me replace my flush valve with zero hassle and gave me the confidence that I knew what I was doing!

[@momulesr]

Really enjoy your how-to videos and the plain ol’ down-to-earth way that you explain everything! You have saved me hundreds of dollars in not having to pay someone to come in and do it for me! Thank you and God Bless you, sir!

[@douglasreid7330]

Roger knows his stuff. and he is brisk and to the point, no lollygagging. Thank you.

[@larryhall2741]

Outstanding video Roger.

[@GPglider]

Best toilet repair video I have seen so far!!!!! Thanks!!!!

Just changed float valve following Roger's great video and all went well. Couldn't have done it right without you. Thanks!!

[@Astianax78]

Thank you very much Roger!!! I couldn't believe it but I've found piece of plastic in our flushing valve and it's working perfectly now!!! Thank you again!!!

[@RogerWakefield]

Glad to help.

[@LilBert420]

Thank you for making this easy and thorough. The cut out back of the toilet makes this the best tutorial on KZbin. Thank you, sir.

[@rikktr3728]

Just replaced all the parts within my tank, now it’s flushing perfectly. Thanks Roger, and subscribed.

[@user-zb6in7pv4j]

Thank you Roger. As a DIY sort, these instructional videos are both welcome and priceless. I've learned a lot and expect smooth sailing from here on. Thank you again.

[@jeffj2495]

Great video. Thanks for going thru all the steps. You make it look pretty easy...and I guess it really isn't that hard after seeing this great explanation.

[@iphonewalkthroughs]

Wow thanks for this video, man. Once I saw how easy it was to take off the tank I'm so on board.

Thank you for this video.

[@fallenevangelion]

Thank you so much. Saved me time and money! Great instructional video, hope to see more

[@INJURYCOMP]

Thank you for this video !! You have a new subscriber. I learned several things from this video. Mainly I learned: I was actually LQQKING for a video concerning the fill valve - not the flush valve. I now know the difference. 2. If our toilet gets to the point of needing a flush valve, I think it is time to just get a new chair height toilet! Thank you !! 3. You do have videos concerning the toilet fill valve so I will watch them. 4. I now have a KZbin Channel to go to to get information for plumbing issues.

[@TheHoward1969]

I really learned a lot and enjoyed the video

[@robertmccaleb2409]

Super helpful, especially with the cutaway, which is a great way to show what’s going on. Thank you for getting me through this fairly difficult (for me, a beginner) project.

[@ChrisH1272]

Thank you. You did a great job explaining this and saved me a plumbing bill.

[@AzharAliSarfraz-gg5hu]

Excellent and very informative presentation heads up for Roger

[@annaleejefferies3093]

Thank you. I feel confident that I can do this. Very clear.

[@mkvectra]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had to fight with my tank bolts for a bit but I got it done! This video helped me a lot!

[@luisvazquez7653]

I love the patience he has to teach how to fix stuff

[@mecruzn]

Very helpful video! Thanks alot. 😀

Great video! I just finished replacing the flush valve using the tips you gave, and while I was at it replaced the fill valve too.

[@gopalrasaily6060]

Very good explaining….. thank you

[@favbeats]

Thanks so much for this video. I just fixed my toilet 😎

[@PJMarsosudiro]

Wow! Thanks so much for this lesson. I foolishly thought that I could change the flush valve without taking the tank off. Now I know better!

[@Tom-gu9cs]

Great demonstration!

[@alexlevymusic]

Thank you for the succinct education. The toilet in my apartment had parts that were so old and rusted that I had to saw everything off, but the replacement was easy and I knew what I was doing thanks to this video.

[@michaelvega9995]

Thank you so much I just bought a flush valve and watching this video helped me out a lot 👍

[@garysizemore2438]

Great video. Professional but easy to follow. Thanks

[@clima614]

Nice! Gonna work on this tonight and become my wife’s hero! Thank you for the vid

[@RogerWakefield]

Good luck! 🦸‍♂️

[@reidmason4995]

Fantastic video, I’ve changed out many flush kits but never a valve, I broke one of the tips that holds the flapper so I had to change the valve, this made it super easy, thanks

[@ivicakolomejac9994]

Thank you. Visual presentation is key in learning any trade,especially with good teacher like you.

[@marimichelle7404]

Thank you so much!!!! Fixed my toilet. You are so wonderful!

[@billk.4558]

Great video. Easy to follow. Worked well for me. Thanks,

[@misiuhagen4926]

Your videos are awesome Roger! Thank you!!

[@CptStankFanger]

Super helpful and very easy to do. Thanks for the video

[@Spaethon]

You're a hero man. In this hard recession, we're looking to find ways to DIY in order to avoid tough costs. I'm in Florida which makes this video a blessed convenience, but in Texas, people like me with a toilet running every 5 minutes should thank their lucky stars.

[@patnagle1047]
