What to do when the stroke of the tank rusted

On the toilet in your apartment there is a flush tank with a lower eyeliner. And recently, the tank began to be overflowed with water, which flows into the toilet on the overflow. This indicates that in the places of installation of a counter -hawk, the tank of the tank rusted. So, it’s time to change a defective rack to a new.

First you need to block water access to the tank, and then empty the tank itself. Disconnect the water tube from the rack. Unscrew the lower locknut, remove the gasket and remove the rack out of the tank for the vertical float valve.

Clutching the rack in a vice, unscrew the lockshop holding the valve. And with the help of a lever key, unscrew the float valve itself from the rack.

To replace the rack, you can make a new one from a piece of a galvanized pipe with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of the rack. The thread on it is cut on a lathe.

The float valve is wound on a new rack and fixed with a counter. Then the rack with the valve is returned to the flush tank and fixed in the place of the old part with the help of a counter -gay, not forgetting to put a new rubber gasket.

It is also recommended to make a fresh seal on the paint under the valve of the float vertical.
