Small leak from tank to bowl I tighten every morning and it stops till the morning afraid I am going to crack the tank.
You need to replace the tank to bowl nuts, washers, and gaskets as well as the flush valve gasket. One word of caution. When installing the new bolts to hold the tank in, place a rubber gasket under the washer inside the tank, and also one on each bolt under the washer underneath the tank. If you omit the one under the tank you may end up cracking the tank when you tighten it down.
SOURCE: water leaks from tank to bowl till water level in the tank is jus
Yes. You will have to remove your tank from the bowl to replace the defective fill stack(the tube thing your flapper is attached to) it is not as hard as it seems.First remove water supply tube.Then remove the through the tank bolts. should be two of them. Lift off and turn tank upside down. remove spud gasket. Unscrew old stack. You should be able to get a universal kit to work with your tank and should come with all new parts including new flapper and spud gasket. You will need new through the tank bolts and note the sequence of assembly to get water tight seal on tank. Hope this helps
SOURCE: How much draw down (tightening) do use to attach
Seat the tank well on a new wax ring and then tightnen the two bolts on the sides evenly there is a small amount of pressure but thats it. To much and you'll snap the side of the bowl. You can caulk around the edge if you want more security,less movement.
The tension on the nuts is very tricky just a feel kinda thing.
Be carefull not to over do it.
SOURCE: Water disappears to below the bowl inlet and stop.
adjust the float up to make water deeper....make sure no obstructions around the flapper....flapper needs to rest tight to bottom of inside the tank..flapper is the rubber peice that lifts when you push handle
Testimonial: "Thanks. Rubber on the flapper was torn. Hareware replaced the flapper. It work well now. Ciao"
SOURCE: How tight should I tighten
There is no torque value as far as I know. There should be rubber washers to minmize the chance of cracking the ceramic and to provide a water seal.
But to try to give some sort of guideline, on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd say a 6 would be about right -- or perhaps you could call that medium tight. In any event, the bolts have to be tight enough to prevent leaking -- if it leaks, you'll have to keep tightening.

SOURCE: Thank you for previous response.
Do not over tighten it you just need to make it snug enough as not to wobble.
