Hi everyone,
I just replaced my standard flush valve with a dual flush valve, and since I had to take apart the tank to do that, I replaced the bolts and main gasket too. I did all the usual leak checks and things seemed fine and the new mechanism work until about an hour in, I felt the supply line and noticed some "sweat" by the nut that connects the supply line hose to the fill valve. Note that this was NOT at the tank bottom, but definitely at the nut.
I turned off the supply line and drained the toilet so there's about an inch left. I've left it there all day to help identify the leaks.
So far, there are no leaks -- not at the fill valve/tank junction, and not hose/fill valve junction. It appears this drip only occurred when the supply line was on and pressurized.
I should note that when I had disconnected the hose for a few days because the flush valve was leaking and I wanted to dry the whole thing out before I had time to replace it. During that time, a few drips would come up to the nut. I figured that was just air pressure pushing the remainder out but not sure if that's relevant.
Thanks!
Mike
