Kelston is a set of bathrooms fixtures made by the Kohler company. It contains toilets, sinks, faucets, shower heads, towel racks -- in a nutshell, something you may get in a bathroom. Kohler Kelston toilets are available with 1.6 or super saver 1.28 gallon-per-flush tanks. Kelston toilets use exactly the same gravity assisted, siphon action flushing mechanism that a lot of standard toilets use, but there’s no float arm or perhaps flapper.
Rather, the float is connected to the fill valve overflow tube, so the flush valve is in a closed canister. In case the toilet is operating, possibly the float or maybe the flush valve seal might require servicing.
Open the lid of the tank and also look at the water level. In case it is above the opening of the overflow tube, and water is emptying into the hose, you have to correct the float. To get this done, switch off the water source and flush the toilet to empty the tank and allow the float spring.
Rotate the nut on the roof of the rod which links the float to the fill valve counterclockwise to increase the rod. Change it by an adequate quantity of rotations to increase the rod by an inch.
Turn the water back on and allow the tank fill. The water amount ought to be about an inch below the opening of the overflow tube. In case it is too much and way too small, set the length of the rod by revolving the nut.
Look for any disturbance at the bowl water in case the water in the tank is in the appropriate level, though the toilet operates possibly or. In case you do not experience some ripples, however, you think that a leak, place food coloring in the tank and refrain from using the toilet for two hours. It confirms the suspicions of yours in case the bowl water turns the identical color.
Replace the seal on the flush canister. To get this done, you have to switch off the water and flush to empty the tank.
Disconnect the chain out of the canister. Place the fingers of yours underneath the guidebook which protrudes out of the roof of the canister and flip it counterclockwise one quarter turn to give off the canister out of the tank.
Remove the canister, change it over and pull off the rubber seal. Replace it with a fresh one. Replace the canister and flip the guide clockwise via one quarter turn to secure it in position. Reconnect the chain and turn the water back on.
