[Shop-talk] toilet parts

[Mark Watson]

I’ve been using https://www.plumbingsupply.com/
Good service, good tracking of shipment, correct parts
I was buying new shower/bath valves
They have a huge listing of old toilet parts – maybe that will help.

Regarding old/odd toilet parts in particular, I would suggest taking the old parts down to the local hardware store and have them match-up the replacement parts. 

Otherwise one could end up with a great personal inventory of similar parts that will not work and will never be used (been there and I hate doing that).  :-)

  I second the idea of a local hardware store like Ace or a plumbing supply house.  Many of the guts of a toilet can also be replaced with universal parts, so it may be worth taking the bad part and seeing if they have a match.  I've been helped a few times buy the small local stores.

  If you are looking at a big bill for an old toilet, it might be better going for a more modern water saving replacement, especially if you have expensive water.  Some are actually pretty decent now.

    Hey all, 

    Who do you for toilet parts? My standby for what not was always RepairClinic.com but they don't do toilets. 

    thanks
