Our toilet flush handle was sticking and wouldn’t return to the top position. In doing so, the water would not stop filling the bowl, leading to a lot of wasted water. The handle “arm” was dragging and grabbing onto the side of the toilet bowl. When I took the nut off and held the handle assembly at an angle so the arm is parallel to the bowl’s side, it stopped dragging and worked fine.
A few measurements later and the first prototype was developed:
The design was a good solution, however, it had two flaws. To install, you had to remove the nut and the chain in order to loop the part through (like a washer). Not a big deal, but inconvenient. The second was due to the curvature of the inner bowl, the part had a specific orientation (the “T” was to help orient it facing up, or top). Good idea as soon as I attempted to tighten the nut, then it rotated.
So version 2.0 had a slot so one wouldn’t need to take the nut or the chain off and I included a tab to help grip the piece while tightening the nut.
Toilet Flush Handle Adapter was Designed Locally by Mario.
