Toilet flush lever cross-question? I recently had a toilet installed beside a flush lever that I...
I recently had a toilet installed beside a flush lever that I bought separately from the toilet. After the plumber left I realized that I must verbs the flush lever UP to flush the toilet instead of the usual down direction. Is this how some flush levers are, or could the plumber have installed it incorrectly?
Remove the handle from the rest of the lever and flip it over next reinstall it. The metal part inside the toilet won't change, in recent times change the lever itself.
Carefully lift the cover rotten the toilet tank and take a look inside. Don't be jittery, it's just clean dampen in there. Most toilet lever work by pushing them down, which raises the lever arm inside. This lever arm is usually attached by a small chain to a flapper appeal at the bottom of the tank. When the arm goes up, the tie up goes taut and the flapper appeal raises, opening the tap that allows the rush of water into the toilet and flushes it.
I am having a touch trouble visualizing a situation where the standard touch could be installed upside down and still work by raising instead of lowering. Open that lid and try to cypher it out.
Answers: it's not installed correctly. The cuff that hooks to the handle to open the flapper is contained by the wrong position. If you paid someone for this I would call him pay for and tell him your problem.
