BWW Project 25-8 Guest Bathroom Toilet

 BWW Project 25-8: Guest Bathroom Toilet



When we opened the house up and discovered our little "problems" that needed dealing with, the downstairs guest bathroom toilet was one.  It filled properly but overfilled a bit and went down the overflow tube.  With all we had to do, I simply turned off the supply until it came up on the priority list.

It came up today!  I went in there expecting to just make some adjustments to the fill level, but the fill riser with the bulb connected was askew.  When I tried to straighten it, it simply broke off!



Off to Ace Hardware and for 14-bucks I got an antisiphon fill tube that doesn't have a float bulb.  It extends up to the proper level and then you twist it to lock the level in.  I was able to hand tighten it into the hole in the tank and hand tighten the fill riser to it as well.  

When I turned on the fill riser, it filled up to just under the overflow tube and stopped.  Perfect!  No leaks anywhere.  Toilet fills and empties perfectly!
