toilet shut off washer
Author: Coyotee (MI) went to replace toilet fill valve and found toilet shut off wouldnt shut off water. Shut off main and removed shut off valve stem, found flat washer in pieces. Problem is theres no screw, there is a brass pin shaped like a screw head. i cant seem to find any push on washers, tried regular one but it cracked. any suggestions besides replacing shut off ? thanks.

Author: steve (CA) Angle stop washers are available. Either replace the stop with a 1/4 turn ball stop, or buy another washered stop and take the washer from it(or use the whole stem if it's the same).

Author: Coyotee (MI) Thanks, I ended up buying new stop and taking stem assembly out and installed on old one. I have 3 other stops that may need same repair. I was looking for washers to repair them instead of new stops....

Author: hj (AZ) Just get a washer the proper size and enlarge the hole so it snaps on to the valve's stem.
