Sloan Flushmate running constantly

Hi MCC:

Check with your local plumbing supply house. They should have a repair kit available for exactly this situation!

Good luck!

Good luck, Tom

There is a shut off valve on the Flushmeter, hiden in the 90 degree ell. Usually, it is covered with either Snap On or Crew In chrome cap. Remove the cap and close water with flat screwdriver.

Now, remove the large 5" cap, there is a vacuum breaker rubber disk and few other parts. Remove them and take them with you to Home Depot. They now carry Sloan repair parts. Or go to more professional store, like Ferguson Enterprises. Also, if you have time, order it on-line for the best price.

BE CAREFUL: there are about 18 different Flushmeter models. In addition, they can be for urinals or toilets and can be either full flush or low flush. Not all are parts can be installed on other valves. Purchase the right part, install in in back order, turn water ON. Now, you should be back in business...

Hi all:

Milo....MCC is talking about a sloan FLUSHMATE toilet tank....not a sloan flushometer... Check it out at the link provided by Tom.

Best advice is for MCC to go to a local plumbing supply house and pick up the relief valve repair kit as I advised earlier. Tom's link has great instructions on replacing unit.

Thanks...

Alright, thank you so much everyone. I did a little more troubleshooting and found out, on the elbow witht he "relief valve", there is a cap and inside the cap is a spring and a seal with an o-ring. After flushing the toilet the water prcoeeds to come out of the "relief valve" rather than filling up the tank, however, if I place my finger over the exit a couple times in intervals, it seems like the o-ring seal then catches and stops the process... I don't know if this helps at all, or if I should still go to the plumbing store and get a replacement...

Thanks so much!

Once these relief valves activate they need to be replaced...

Off to the supply store for you!

Thank you!
