Weak Kohler Toilet Flush-EASY FIX!...How to Replace a Flapper With Float

This right here is a colder Devon Shire 4619 and Today, we're gonna be putting in this genuine collard part This is the flapper for it. Hey folks that fix a guy here and today I'm gonna show you how to change a flapper with the float All right, so there's many kinds of flappers and when you have a toilet like this This is a Devon Shire 4619 collard toilet, right? This is got a super high tank on it and when you have a toilet that has a super long tank like this You're gonna need a float with that, right? So they sell specific style flappers like that So I just wanted to show a little video Show you guys what we're talking about and hopefully help you out with your issue. So come along. Let's get to fixing So If we get that in here, you can see this right here is coming apart And that float doesn't really even work anymore So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna shut the water off We're just gonna come right down here to the shutoff valve this particular style is a quarter turn style quarter turn on quarter turn off Very easy Okay, so you can see right away. This is not very dirty. It actually looks like it's in pretty good shape And this is a pretty quick install for you really Just pull up the handle drain all the water out Get a nice flush out of that and then we just got to remove this so this is not a standard flapper And the fact that you could just put it in and replace it real quick And you're gonna have a little bit of adjustment usually on these Maybe not because we bought a genuine color part, but because of this foam float right here You typically have some adjustment Okay, so to remove this flapper This is not a normal flapper that just kind of sets over these little prongs right here These kind of flappers this hard plastic it kind of clips in so I just put one finger around each side Of this and just kind of pull up and you can hear it click Right, and then you just do the same thing over here and the whole thing just pops right off And I'll just show you so if it's on that little tongue I like to go on both sides of that and pop up that way you don't break that little tongue off because you can see those down there You break one of those off you're replacing this whole flush valve So the replacement part for this is a GP 85 160 and this is actually a cooler genuine part. This is a genuine color flapper with flow This is actually going to be really good for this toilet this particular toilet room. It's a Devon Shire 4619 so it's definitely for this right Let's go ahead and just pop that out of the package These old school toilets man, they're pretty cool They're they're really nice and if the porcelain lost like hey this classic look man It never goes out of date in my opinion like they're pretty cool and so this style of flapper is not that hard plastic Like look you can see hard plastic. It's got that little clip. This one doesn't have that. This is actually just going to go over the little tongs And a lot simpler to install just take this and set it aside right there Flip this around get it to where you want it and Then it's just a matter of hooking it on that little tongue. So you just do the same thing over here Hook hook and it's on and it's hooked up So now it's gonna work And now we're gonna probably have to clip a little bit of this chain off We're gonna or we're gonna have to move it down at least and so now we're gonna adjust this and we'll see what we're looking at here Okay, so the first part of this We're going to do is we're actually going to so the first part of this we're gonna do is we want to make sure our chain link Is long enough, right? You don't want it so short that it kind of pulls the flapper up like that And you don't want it so long that it sags like crazy So what we're looking at here Is we want just a little bit of playing it so in order to adjust this to where it's gonna fit on On our handle right here. We're gonna just go ahead and pull off the leatherment And you just take this and we're gonna just separate this just a little bit We just want to be able to open that up that way this just slides out easy And we're able to remove that So then we can take this Bend this out a little bit you just bend this out That pops out and they make it towards pretty secure, right? Just to make sure we get a good kind of a good measurement you want to make sure you got a good measurement like I said these are a little bit tougher Then Trying to hook up the other ones right like a standard flapper This is just a little bit more involved Open that up we'll get this in here And it would just get it measured to where we want it So you get that all hooked up Put it through one side You can see just get it through one side and then you can slide it down to wherever you want it And A little bit further than that So That's probably pretty good right there You just take it Slides right back down in place and you just bend the clip back to where you need it Then we'll pull this clip right here off Get this through right here Get it back in place where we need it Get our leather man And just get it hooked back up Might have to bend a little bit more Just make it where it works Okay, and we're in place So that you take that Pop that on there and now we've got a pretty good setup Right we've got it towards got a little bit of play There's a little bit of a level there And we'll see what it looks like I'm not going to clip this off yet This extra chain until I know that that's where I want it to be okay So let's go ahead and we'll turn the water back on And then we'll give it a flush see if we need to adjust it Okay, let's see what it does Okay, so right away I can tell that we're going to have to adjust it a little bit lower So let's go ahead Just going to shut the water back off And I'll show you how to do that We want a good flush out of this thing and in order to do that We're going to have to lower this float right here down Let's just take this flapper off make it easier At this point, you know how to take it off You know how to install it so you know how to remove it Just take that off We're going to start with the bottom side Right, so it's just a little retainer clip right here That you just find the slot And pop it out Slide it down a little bit And then slide it back on Super easy If you folks like this content, please How that like button Keep coming back. I'm just trying to hope out with any little thing I can and I Feel like this is an awesome little Thing to know right because there are a lot of toilets out there that have these floats And I mean, I've seen a lot of people just change toilets because there's a little issue right But this is super simple. It doesn't take that long and you can hook this right up And We'll just put that back in there So difficult to get to the one right there with trying to show you It's not enough space in here Okay, and now we'll just fill it up again and try it out. We're going to go ahead and give it a flush Nope, we're going to go ahead and have to lower it down just a touch bit more All right, so let's see this bad boy flush Oh There we go nice flush So now we've got a good quality flush out of this toilet and It's good to roll this is a little bit slow as you can see Doesn't come out so well Another video coming out on that Okay, so the last thing we want to do With this install of this new flapper is we want to take some of this chain link though We don't have to take it all off, but we definitely want some of it gone
