Zurn Aquaflush leaking only as the flush is ending - Help!
Hi, I have a Zurn Z6000 Aquaflush and it only leaks as the flush is
ending and it stops leaking after the flush is completed. This page shows the Aquaflush: http://www.zurn.com/operations/aquaf.../downloads.asp. Should I replace the vacuum breaker valve? Do I disassemble by first unscrewing the spud coupling, followed by the coupling at the vacuum breaker? I assume I dont need to unscrew the tailpipe coupling, right? Thanks for any tips! |

Zurn Aquaflush leaking only as the flush is ending - Help!
Hi, I have unscrewed the tub nut and the spud nut to loosen the vacuum
breaker tube, but I cannot slip out the tube so that I can change the rubber vacuum breaker. Does anyone know how I can slip the tube out? Do I need to unscrew the brass bolt that is attached to the toilet bowl? Or should I rotate the valve body up? I tried to rolate the valve body upward, but it is really tight and I hate to break anything. Here are some pictures: http://www.sopmedia.com/sopguest/toilet/DSC03276.JPG http://www.sopmedia.com/sopguest/toilet/DSC03277.JPG http://www.sopmedia.com/sopguest/toilet/DSC03278.JPG Any tips? |

I have fixed it by pulling the old vacuum breaker out through the
little gap that I have between the vacuum tube and the flush valve body. The breaker is made of rubber, so I squeezed it and pulled it out. I then installed the new vacuum breaker by stuffing it through the gap and seating it inside the vacuum tube. Thanks! |
