Eljer flush valve is leaking how can fix? - Eljer Toilet Onepiece Canterbury 081162047

The Fluidmaster valve is clogged or defective.

If you are not getting puddles on the floor then it is probably the 'FLAP" that holds the water in the tank. It is the rubber part that is connected to your handle. Any hardware store will carry that part since it is an item that will fail, especially in hard water. It is probably the cause of both problems.

Older Eljer toilets are good for this and yes you need to replace the complete flush valve assembly. I would recommend putting in a fluid master system as they in my opinion are the best. Their kits come complete with everything you need to do the job and provide excellent instructions and if that is not good they have videos on their web site. The site is slow to load but worth waiting for.

The next thing for you to check is the fill valve itself, make sure it is shutting off. shut off the water to the toilet and see if the leak stops after a few minutes. it may also be a leaking gasket on the flush valve gasket. also be sure the flapper area is clean. hope this helps. let me know if you need anything else.

ok, this sounds like a float or valve issue, should be an easy fix. you can adjust the float or just replace it with the one piece type. you may not be able to adjust it and get it to work, so I think the best thing to do is just replace the whole float assembly. About ten dollars or so at home depot or someplace like that. Turn off the supply valve, flush the toilet,and drain the tank by removing the plastic nut underneath on the left side. Drain the remaining water into a bowl. There is also a nut on the supply line that will need to be removed first. When you remove the nut that is flush with the bottom of the tank that also holds the valve in place inside. Take off the rubber hose inside the tank and remove the entire float and valve. The new one piece will have a adjustment for the tank level by just turning the entire unit. Make sure you put the rubber washer that is supplied with it on the bottom and put it back into the tank and tighten from the bottom with the new plastic nut. Make sure the valve inside is pointed at the plastic tube and re-attach the rubber hose. Then attach the supply line, tight, but not with a tool, just your hand. Turn on the supply valve, re-fill the tank, flush, and check for leaks. Remember, buy the one piece type, should be a gray valve with a black float built right on it. Good luck

replace with power flush tank insert

I had the same problem and contacted Eljer and they sent me the above instructions to make a tool to remove the flush valve.

Replace flapper, it is worn out.Turn off water valve. Flush toilet, remove flapper. Then replace flapper, adjust chain to same size as old one, then turn water back on.

I've never had a problem with Eljer toilets. Try adjusting the fill valve so that it allows more water to enter the tank (if you're over the flush valve, install a coupler made from PVC around the neck of the flush valve- inside diameter of the coupler needs to be the same as the outside diameter of the flush valve filler neck).
