Overflow Tube
After replacing my flapper ball and lift chain, the overflow tube
broke off (It's plastic). It looks as if they had used plumbers putty to attach the tube to the base because where it broke off the tube is slightly smaller than the base (yet not enough to fit inside) and there is some tan residue. Can this be re-attached with a sealant. If so, what kind? Thank you, Thomas |

the overflow tube is not part of the water valve unit as you call it.

It's one piece, easy to change and will set you back maybe 15 bucks. -- #1 Offishul Ruiner of Usenet, March 2007 #1 Usenet Asshole, March 2007 #1 Bartlo Pset, March 13-24 2007 #10 Most hated Usenetizen of all time Pierre Salinger Memorial Hook, Line & Sinker, June 2004 COOSN-266-06-25794 |
