    Plumbing parts help, Mancesa toilet

    Has anyone heard of this brand? Been put in charge of tracking down a replacement flapper ring, and this is quite different from the normal design (may have to replace guts entirely if not).

    A normal flapper is a rubber piece with a chain, that either slides down the overflow tube, or female ends clip the male lip on the tube.
    This is a hard plastic flapper, with a replaceable rubber ring, and the plastic flapper is actually male, going into a female spot on the tube. (different, why couldn't it be a normal one)

    Trying to help a friend, I thought I could just give them a standard, universal, and boy was I wrong this time.
    She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

    Is this what you're after? If it were mine, I would just convert to a standard flapper assembly and a Fluidmaster fill system. Parts are commonly available. Installation is easy.

      I figure I will have to do that (already has the filler swapped), just worried it is going to be a pain to remove the old bolts that hold the tank to the stool, and wished it were easier.

      That site is the only one I have even found stuff on. I found the toilets elsewhere and it appears they are from Columbia? This is for an older friend, so a handicapped toilet would probably be a better idea, IMHO.
