Toilet Flusher
How do I repair a leaking toilet flush valve beveled gasket due to a chip in the edge of the mounting hole?
I replaced the flush valve in an old Crane toilet. The original beveled gasket between the flush valve and the hole in the bottom of the tank was a softer material that sealed well despite there being a small chip in the inside tank edge of the flush valve mounting hole. The replacement flush valve uses a harder rubber beveled gasket that only contacts the edge of the tank hole, so water now leaks through the chipped area.
I cannot tighten the flush valve locknut enough to compress the gasket to seal into the chipped area and cannot find a softer beveled gasket. I am thinking about filling in the chip with J B Weld to bring the surface back to normal. Would that work? Or should I try something different?
There are many kinds of flush valve gaskets to choose from. If you have a local plumbing supply they should have a better variety than a hardware store. Take the original up there. The old Cranes had a special gasket designed just for their toilets. It’s thicker than the new universal gaskets that do not fit all toilets properly. I think the old American Standard gaskets will work on crane,but don’t take my word on that. You do not want to tighten the nut to much or it will crack the tank. I tighten until the tank does not wiggle.
