Only if you're foolish enough to buy Fluidmaster.

I had one break while I was out of town and 10,000 gallons of water
flooded my house. I later talked to several plumbers and every one
said that Fluidmaster problems keep them in business.
They won't be in my house again. YMMV.

What brand of flush valve do you use?

I've replaced, perhaps 8-10 flush valves over the years with the
Fluidmaster brand. None have ever failed, that caused a leak like you
mention.
