Say goodbye to leaking flappers and slow flushes. This repair kit eliminates common leaky toilet problems due to a worn-out flapper, handle, or faulty flapper chain. Also, the Total Repair Dual Flush Valve quickly transforms a standard toilet into a two-button, dual-flush toilet with two flush settings: quick flush and full flush.
