Replacing a toilet flush handle can give an old toilet a new look and improve its functionality. Before starting this DIY toilet repair project note where the current toilet handle is located on your toilet tank as this Danco Replacement Toilet Handle is designed to fit a front mount toilet tank lever position. Be sure to measure your current toilet handle lift arm and be sure to check the length as this Danco toilet handle has an 8-inch arm length. Note: Lift arm length and hole positions can vary, so adjustments can be made. Installation Tip: Attach the flapper chain in the same hole position as the old toilet lever arm, flush to check its functionality; keep in mind if the chain is too long the tank will not completely drain and if it is too short the flapper will not seat properly allowing water to drain continuously so make sure to try different hole positions for the ideal flush functionality.

Although this handle is made of mostly metal, the handle broke after 4 years of use. This is a much shorter lifespan than the original handle but fortunately it is affordable to replace. We will go with a different brand this time to see if they are all built the same. Note: this was used in the common bathroom which sees more use than our other bathrooms.

The plastic handle on my tank broke so I ordered this as a quick cheap replacement. It turned out to be a really nice handle with metal parts and we’ll worth the money. It came quickly and I am very pleased with the handle. It would have been a quick and easy replacement but…I didn’t realize my tank was curved and the handle wouldn’t sit flush (no pun intended) against the tank. I put it on to use until I can get a replacement but you can see in the picture the issue. The bar hits the tank wall and I can’t tighten the nut or the bar won’t move at all.This is not the handle’s fault and I give it a full 5 stars. The toilet on the other hand has been a pain from day one and I’m tempted to just replace the entire toilet for all the trouble it’s given me over the years.But I digress…So, when they say “fits most toilets”, apparently mine is not most.

This was pretty easy to install, but didn't work well with Mansfield flush valves unless you tinker with it a little.Toilet handles are not all that complicated, you pretty much just unscrew the old one and pop it out then pop the new one in and screw it on. This is no different. The big issue I had was that it doesn't work well with the Mansfield flush valve that I have as the arm of the handle comes out of the flush valve and either falls in the tank, or keeps the valve open. It's an easy fix, just secure the handle to the flush valve with wire, or similar, so it opens and closes corretly, but just be aware before buying if you use a Mansfield. Once installed, it's very solid, having all metal parts is a nice change, and it looks decent.Overall, no major complaints and it does the job for a good price.

How many women does it take to fix the toilet handle? ONE!Man #1 - it's fixed (used plastic)Man #2 - okay, now it is fixed (used plastic)Man #3 - it is okayONE Woman - hum, handle is vertical, keeps hitting lid, water keeps running.ONE Woman thought, let me research on Amazon, find the easiest repair, find a METAL one and not plastic, PURCHASE, receive next day, find a wrench only to remove the sooooo tight broken handle that is not level that is obliviously broken and chain now too long and blocking seal ---- how many minutes for ONE Woman to actually repair? ONE Woman, one super easy "DANCO Toilet Handle Replacement, Chrome, 8 inch, 1-Pack (80806)", three minutes later! Awh, no hitting lid, no running water, no hitting toilet lid, no headaches, looks great!Okay, any man can do this too, but just had to notate that was 3 men vs. 1 woman :)

My old toilet handle was made out of plastic and it broke in half. This was my first time replacing a toilet handle and I didn't really know how to research what kind I needed. This one said "universal" and is made out of metal, so I got it. I guess my toilet itself is not "universal"...I installed the handle, it mostly fit but not flush against the toilet back. The right side of the handle is snugly touching but the left side is loose with about a 2mm gap. I also had to bend the metal arm a little to make it not scrape against the inside of the toilet. All in all, it's a good handle, it works good enough for now. My toilet back is either oddly curved or I'm just a noob handyman. Probably the latter 🤷🏻♀️

I ordered this product after the flush arm in my toilet broke. I decided to search for a metal set online, as the previous one was cheap plastic that cracked and I don’t want to repeat the cheap plastic cracking thing again in a year or two.I’m glad to say this was my first toilet repair I’ve ever done, and it worked! This handle and arm are very well made of sturdy metal and now the flush action of my toilet works perfectly. If you’re thinking of buying the handle and arm set here online then do so, as it’s a great product and it will save you a trip to a giant big box retail store to probably on find one expensive, but cheaply made plastic parts.

Many of the reviews I've read say these break really easy. These people must pretty much stand on the handle because I installed one in my toilet and one in the suite upstairs from me and they haven't broken yet.

My previous handle was splitting and breaking (all plastic.) I replaced it easily with this rod. It's metal and will unless it corrodes, resist breakage.In case you've never done a replacement, when your handle ceases to flush, or if the handle doesn't seem to work well, the arm on the flush handle may be broken (or off the chain connecting it to the flap.)Eventually with long use, these handles wear out.1. Open the lid and place it somewhere safe (they can break and replacement can be difficult if your toilet is out of production, almost assuredly.)2. The handle is connected to the tank by a fingertight nut. Unscrew this, remove the handle from the chain by the loop at the end and pull the handle arm unit out.3. Unscrew the nut from the new unit and put the handle in. Thread the nut onto the handle4. Attach the chain by the loop at the end through one of the holes; I usually use the last hole on the arm.5. Replace the lid. Test flush. Victory is yours! By the way, sometimes the flap valve wears out and that, too can be replaced. Don't be squeamish about putting your hand in the tank, that water is clean.
