Customer Reviews for DANCO 9 in. Toilet Handle for Mansfield

WOW! This is the best toilet lever I have ever purchased. So stylish and yet functional. I would recommend this leaver to all my friends.

I bought this item because on the advertising and reviews said Mansfield replacement was good however it doesn't fit very well to my Mansfield toilet handle well. if I tighten up too tight which supposed to tight, it (handle) will not push down and if I left too lose, the toilet handle doesn't fit well to toilet bowl wall. by the way, the toilet handle bar is too long so I had to cutting down to size. Not happy with results so I'm going to return the other two.

See the comment from "frustrated", perfect advice. Cut the handle end bar to fit, and gently heat over a gas flame to bend into the correct position. I then ran the part under cold water to harden again. A little work but as good as new. Thanks to "frustrated" because it saved me from getting frustrated. I don't think I would have thought of heating the plastic and bending it to fit!

I had to use the old nut since the new one could not be tightened due to the width of tank wall. But the lever itself fit Mansfield 35 tank perfectly.

The part was exactly as described and had a good feel to it. It was easy to install and works just fine!

This lever is not compatible with all Mansfield valves. I wish that I had read the reviews here before purchasing. This particular unit has too much of an angle on the lever. It will fit after being cut down to size, but the extreme angle causes the lever to pull tightly against the valve. This makes the valve itself stick in the open postition, instead of falling into the closed position. I now have to pull up on the valve to stop the water from flowing into the bowl. It is made of plastic, but should not be a problem, as the original lever that I am replacing was plastic and lasted well over ten years. Just as the other reviewer states, I am going to try to bend this one into place as a temporary fix until I can get the correct lever. This lever only fits Model 41 Toilet Tanks. I do not know what model I have, but I now know that it is not a Model 41. (I uploaded a photo to show the difference in the lever's angle.)

Purchased 2 of these and had to modify them because they put just enough pressure on the flush valve to where it would not seal and allow water to shut off. All I did to modify it was heat up the bend with a lighter and bend it to where it would work.

Granted Toilet levers aren't built to last in general, but this one is lousy nearly from the start. The plastic arm will bend over time. I thought plastic would be better because metal arms corrode over time. The lever itself is plastic so if someone say a guest, doesn't know better and puts some strength into it, they'll snap the plastic bolt that keeps it in place. Don't bother.

I purchased this product after reading the comments and knowing that it would take a little work to make it fit. I melted the arm and bent it back like it needs to be for this model toilet. I cut off the excess plastic of the arm as well as it comes way to long to fit. Once I did that I was able to get it to fit into the housing the of flush valve, but it's still not angled enough to use. The plastic is too "flat" and angle and when you flush it doesn't allow the plunger to go down enough to seal. I suppose I will have to try to melt it again and try to bend it down now too. All of this heating of a cheap plastic is not giving me confidence that this will last very long. Save yourself all of the extra work and headache and don't get this if you have a Model #160 from Mansfield.

Although this is for Mansfield, but it's not for 160. The arm was too long, so I had to cut it down to fit. The angel is not correct, so I heated with a candle and bent it like the original one. The job was pretty easy.

The product installed easily, but was rubbing on the tank. This often caused it to keep the flapper open with the water continuously running if the handle was depressed too much. The 90 degree bend went a little too far. Fortunately, it is plastic, so I heated it gently with a torch and unbent it about an inch. Now it works perfectly.

I saw this in the store labeled as "for Mansfield" and thought great just what I need. However, it is not a good fit for my Mansfield 160. First, the arm was too long, so I had to cut it down to fit. Second, the arm has an angle that interferes with function in my tank. I find the handle stays depressed after flushing, so I have to manually lift it or the water keeps running. I also had to bend the plastic arm (with much effort) so that the lever returned to a position that allowed the valve/flapper to shut. It will work as a temporary bandaid until I get the right lever. It seems sturdy and well made, but the wrong fit for my model of Mansfield. I wish the box would have labeled which Mansfield models it was compatible with.

this is not a good tank lever. It had a curve to it and would not fit. I had to go out and buy a different type.

Before i installed this I cleaned and replaced my red gasket and piston assembly so it is easy to flush my toilet and not break my handle again. This would have worked perfectly had I bought the right handle again. I bough this blue one instead of the white one that was originally on there.

Had 3 Mansfield toilets in the house -- builder's special I guess. This lever looks nothing like the original. In fact, to get it to work I had to take a hacksaw to it to shorten the lenght of the arm. It took a lot more effort to get the lever to go down. After a couple of weeks the gasket started to loosen regularly and I'd have to tighten it every couple of days. Finally the plastic lever got so twisted it would stop working. It may seem like the price is right but it's not worth the aggravation.

Does the job well. Very easy to install. Good value.

Wish the arm was made of metal amd not plastic. The last one I bought lasted about 2 years and then the arm broke
