Flapper for Toto GMax toilets

Author: ScrappyPappy (MD)

Somehow or another I purchased several blue flappers (Korky 2022BP) thinking they were the proper replacements for an Ultramax (GMax flush system) toilet. While doing some research today I found that I really should be using the Korky 2021BP (red flappers) because the blue ones are actually meant for toilets that use the PowerMax flush system. I have been using the blue flappers for a while, without any apparent problems, but now I’m concerned whether or not I am causing hidden problems. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Author: jcrevz (NC) I think the difference in the two is the "hang time" - one has a hole and one doesnt to let it fall faster/slower, not completely sure the engineering that went into them but I would put the correct one from here on out to minimize the risk of it not flushing properly in the future

Author: ScrappyPappy (MD) Thanks. Unfortunately, Toto’s lifetime warranty doesn’t apply to plastic or rubber parts associated with the flushing mechanism.

Author: RogerWilson (NY) I concur with your ideas. The engineer should also be consulted for advice. By the way, if you're looking for a website online that offers free essay samples, go to <a href="[www.grabmyessay.com];. You will definitely find that website to be very helpful. Edited 1 times.
