Valve Toilets

How can I find whether my toilet ball valve mechanism is half inch or three quarter inch?
My toilet overflow is leaking, and a friend has offered to replace the ball valve mechanism, to stop the leak. But there is a problem over the size. Apparently the fittings come in two sizes – half an inch and threequarters of an inch. My friend wants to know the size before buying the new mechanism, but I don’t know what size my toilet uses. Is there a way of finding out the right size before dismantling the device?
all the toilet cisterns I have had dealingswith were 1/2 Inch
mesuret the DIAMETER of the supply pipe ,if it is copper you then have the size of the valve wanted

Choosing Your Bathroom Toilet
It is a known fact that we make many trips to the bathroom each day. Therefore, it is important to many people to have their bathrooms safe, comfortable and attractive; which plays into the reason behind many bathroom remodels each year.
When it comes to remodeling their bathrooms, many homeowners also consider replacing their toilet as part of the project. There are several factors to consider when shopping for a new toilet. The other remodeling that needs to be done in your bathroom is one of the factors when choosing your toilet. When remodeling your bathroom, be sure that you choose a toilet that will compliment the rest of the remodeled room’s decor. One of the ways to create an attractive bathroom is to have everything matching; from the tiles to the toilet and walls.
The majority of bathrooms in homes usually consist of a standard aka traditional style toilet that is usually white in color and comes in two pieces. Standard bathroom toilets are also the most affordable style of toilet and can be found in most home improvement stores. However, if you are in the market for something different for your bathroom, you may want to do a little more research. Some toilet choices include a one or two piece toilet, a standard or comfort height, a gravity, power/pressure flush or flush valve, a round front and an elongated bowl.
One piece toilets are more expensive than their two piece counterparts and has a lower profile of 22 to 27 inches in height.
Two piece toilets are more affordable and are 27 to 30 inches in height.
Comfort height toilets, aka ADA compliant toilets, provide for easier sitting because it is the same height as a standard chair. Even though the tank is the same height as a standard height toilet, the bowl of a comfort height toilet is 1 1/2 to 2 inches taller than the standard height toilet.
A gravity flush system is a system that uses nothing more than water weight to generate flushing pressure. It is not only simple and quiet, it also requires less maintenance than more complex flushing systems.
A power/pressure flush system is a system that uses a pressurized air tank. This tank aids in the toilet’s flushing process. Power pressure flush systems are often noisy and more expensive than the gravity flush system toilet.
Flush valves are located at the center of the tank and is activated by the toilet’s flush handle. This releases the water that is held in the tank. The larger the flush valve is the more water flows through the toilet.
Round front bowls are suitable for smaller bathrooms and are more affordable than the elongated bowls.
Elongated bowls are toilet bowls that are 2-3 inches longer than the round front bowls. Elongated bowls are roomier, more comfortable and are suitable for bathrooms with additional space.
Even though you should be concerned with the appearance of your new toilet, you should also consider the cost of it as well. Bathroom toilets are very heavy and you may need assistance getting in inside your home. Some home improvement places offer free delivery while others charge a small fee. Be sure that you also keep in mind installation when installing the new toilet. You can have a professional install the toilet for a fee or you can install it yourself for less money.
There are many choices then it comes to your bathroom toilet. Not only do you have different styles than shapes, you even have your choice of colors as well. Even though many toilets do not come with a toilet seat, there are also many choices of seats available in every style and color. With a little time and research, you will have the perfect toilet for your bathroom that you can be happy with.
