FlushmateM-101526-F3BK Sloan Flushmate 501-B Tank

Replaced the 25-year old, trusty Flushmate tank (it leaked and did not hold pressure overnight anymore) with this newer model. Pic1 is the old tank, pic 2 the newly installed tank, same location. Only difference between the models (far as install is concerned) is the flush handle (included in the package). This is now via a wire, instead of a direct steel rod linkage. Remember that the flush handle screw is a left-hand thread (I always forget this little fact). The new tank has a more powerful flush and for the last 2 months after install works like a charm. Would purchase again, but hope won't have to for another 25 years.

Great replacement. Works. Replacing the whole assembly was almost same price as replacement part. Got to love plumbing!

easy to install.

Easy to install. Replaced a 501 b and although it works, it has to problems.1. Its to high for my tank. I thought this was suppose to be a one for one match.Now my tank cover won't fit.2. Although I like the new flush mechanism the linkage white tab keeps turning and then this jams causing the tank to run forever occasionally.

Flushmate M-101526-F3BK Sloan Flushmate 501-B Tank. An excellent replacement and updated tank. Very well made. I originally ordered an incorrect tank due to "Fuzzy" info in the title description. FYI: the incorrect tank was the "Flushmate M-101526-F31 III 503" which I didn't understand by the description & other provided info was for a top lid, push button flushing unit. This unit the "Flushmate M-101526-F3BK Sloan Flushmate 501-B Tank" is the one I needed which is for an either left or right side or front mounted flushing handle. This unit came with a new flush handle & attached mechanism (different from the original one on the 30+ year old toilet that I worked on.) as well as the 3 in one tool. Was all very nice. I found the instructions to be somewhat confusing and believe that the average person would agree. Adjusting the cartridge is very important and necessary for the unit to work correctly. Took me longer than necessary to install due to the somewhat confusing directions, but all ended well. You will not regret buying this unit if you are wanting to maintain the POWER FLUSH that it provides. It can not be installed into a unit that didn't originally come with this inserted tank.

Great product.

NIce product BUT yo'll struggle to get the correct set-up CALL FLUSHMATE with your EXACT model and serial number to get the exact fit. ALso the new handle system seems universal ...and some seemed to be packed IN the box and some seem to be extra at $25. You'll likely also need the special wrench for $5, agaon SOMETIMES it packed in thebox ??

You want a powerful flush? Who doesn't....this baby delivers.It was a little bit fussy to install. You do have to take the tank completely off the back of the toilet. Make darn sure you have a bucket and a big towel, because there will be water.It's one of those projects that, if you had to do it more than once, it would go quicker after the first time. I did have to do the same project about 20 years ago, but that's too long to remember all the nuances of the project. It took me about 2 hours this time.Anyway, it's a bit startling when you first flush it, because it is SO powerful. Small children and pets could get sucked down if they stand too near it....just kidding, but it's fun to think about... ;)
