Do I need a new handle or something else? The chain length is fine. Sandra 20 Apr 2005 at 9:50 pm #296613 Retired plbg1Participant Thata called a Trip lever. If it sticks you might have to reolace it, those PVC ones stick afyer a while, replace it and see.

What do I do now? 21 Apr 2005 at 4:53 am #296615 CincinnatiPlumbingParticipant Replace the flapper. Author Posts Viewing 3 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
