The rudimentary installation is fairly straight forward, it's the minor adjustments that differ from unit to unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Don't forget that if you have a broken ballcock, your flapper valve won't work right either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far is Salem for North Central Ohio? I tried to insert my ballcock last night...it was too big....no matter what angle I tried, it would just not fit in the hole......I guess size really does matter! Well...back to Lowe's today to see if I can get a smaller ballcock...I just never thought I'd be asking for a smaller one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
