What happens here

Attach the flapper's chain to the toilet's flush lever. Adjust the chain length so it has a slight amount of slack (about 1/2 inch to 1 inch) when the flapper is closed, but is taut enough to lift the flapper fully when the handle is pressed. Once the chain is adjusted, turn the water supply back on to the toilet. Allow the tank to refill completely. Finally, perform a test flush to ensure the new flapper creates a proper seal and the toilet no longer runs continuously.

Goal: Ensure proper flapper function and stop the toilet from running

Then this, just gonna clip right down inside here. There we go. Got one, got two. And adjuster chain to the desired length. All right, good to rock and roll here. Thank you, Fluid Master. I really appreciate it.

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber who fixes what others replace

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
