FLM B108288 Flushmate Duckbill valve

Very good quality and it was the smallest silicone duckbill valve that I could find anywhere on the internet and trust me I looked everywhere for weeks! I was trying to make a wizzinator contraption with it but didn’t turn out how I wanted it to but that’s besides the point. Also It was black in color just heads up. Great product! Thank you for having this available!

Not much to say, other than it fixed poor flushing on a Flushmate toilet in about two minutes start to finish.

If you've got what appears to be a slow tank leak in your pressure-assist flush system, do yourself a favor and replace this valve first.It turns out it was exactly what I needed and required about 2 minutes to fix on my own: turn off water, flush twice to bleed the pressure, unscrew, remove old valve, replace with new, screw back on, turn water back on, done.It took me 2 hours to find the part number and a valid single working part - they sell them in 4 packs from the flushmate site, but unless you're doing side-by-side competitive bathrooming, you probably don't need to overpay for a bunch of valves you'll never use.

This item fixed our problem with our toilet flushing without full pressure. And it was an easy affordable fix. I knocked off one star though because it only lasted about a year and a half before it became warped like the original (Which was likely original to the toilet 7 Years old or more? Couldn’t say for certain since it came with the house when we bought it). So, this is the second time I’ve purchased this item. It’s far cheaper than replacing the toilet and worked for a while so, 4 stars. But I really feel it should have worked longer.

Easy fix. Done and done!

The dripping noise stopped, and water no longer emerges from the hole on the top of the valve cap.

This little valve was exactly what I needed to fix our Flushmate pressurized toilet! Saving us $ from calling a plumber. A super simple fix, anyone can do it! Just look up "Toubleshooting Flushmate" on YouTube, or take a look at the photo i included. The duckbill valve gets set inside the cap labeled "D" and then you just screw the cap back on. VERY IMPORTANT, only hand tighten the cap back on. Don't use any tools. Over-tightening the cap can damage the duckbill valve or cause it to bend and not suck in air properly.The valve was (and should be) very inexpensive. Dont overpay for a replacement!

Originally the toilet would not flush due to no pressure in the tank. If I held down on the actuator on the top of the pressure tank then the water would drain out and be replaced with air. After several weeks the problem would occur again. Cleaning the duckbill valve made the problem go away for longer, but it still kept coming back. The last time I guess I got a little too aggressive in cleaning it because the problem with the air not getting recharged was gone but now I had a slow drip coming out of the air inducer. Replacement for the duckbill valve fixed both problems.
