Whether you are upgrading your bathroom with new hardware or simply replacing a worn out or broken flush lever, selecting a suitable replacement will ensure a trouble-free installation and a correctly functioning toilet.

Editor's Notes

October 02, 2020:

A flush lever, although small and seemingly insignificant has a vital role in the correct operation of a toilet. Its purpose is to mechanically operate the flush valve, allowing waste to be washed away, hence its failure could leave you and your family in a predicament. With the vast array of toilets and flush valves available nowadays, choosing a suitable replacement requires a little bit of forethought as many are not universal, the location of the lever on the cistern, and the angle of the flush arm are imperative to a successful installation. In this ranking, we selected a range of alternatives, some of which are brand specific, and others which can be adjusted for differently-shaped toilets and valves. the visible part of the lever is often available in a range of styles and finishes, and can easily be matched to your faucets and hardware.

All the major sanitary-ware brands supply a replacement lever for their models. The Hibbent Trip Lever and the Qualihome Flush Lever are specifically designed for use on Toto and American Standard toilets, respectively. The location of the lever on the cistern will usually dictate the style of replacement needed. For a front mounting toilet, the Plumb Pak Decorative should be a straight swap, and is available in a number of metallic finishes. The Qualihome Brushed Nickel and the Canomo 2 Pack can be purchased for either front or side mounting, the latter of which comes with two stainless steel flush chains. For true versatility, many replacements now feature fully adjustable arms that allow them to be installed on almost any toilet. The Korky Strongarm uses high-strength materials to eliminate breakage at common stress points, and is available in two different designs and seven different finishes. The Fluidmaster 698 Universal and the Fluidmaster Perfect Fit are both fully adjustable options that can be ordered in multiples of up to five. If you are looking for an alternative to a lever, the Plumb Pak PP835-69L converts the mechanism to a push-button, but is only suitable for flapper valves, whereas, the Techo Automatic uses a motion sensor to make the operation completely hands-free.
