Kingston BrassKTPL8 Victorian Tank Lever, Brushed Nickel

It fits my bathroom perfectly. This is the color of my faucet, and I have polished brass in other places as well, not to mention a beige and gold tone marble sink (not the actual sink, just the counter surrounding the sink and going out over the toilet). It matches so perfectly, and works so well, I couldn't be more pleased. The only issue installing it is the part of the sink that goes out over the toilet made it difficult to get in there, particularly for a big contractor with big hands. :-)

This was a replacement for a lever with a cast pot metal connector. It corroded over time and got stiff and then fractured. This is much better made and should last a long time.

This matches the ceramic handles on the other fixtures in my old-fashioned bathroom. It looks great and feels very solid. The plumber installed it, so I cannot speak to ease of installation.

This was really expensive. But I love it. They true test will be if it lasts. Every handle we put on always breaks. They never last an entire year. If this one lasts, I will love it even more. If it doesn’t, I won’t buy again cause it’s too expensive to have to keep purchasing. Time will tell!

Solid, nice piece

Easy to install! Gives a touch of classic and expensive to my toilet.

The flush lever is well-designed and manufactured with quality materials and workmanship. Once installed correctly, it works quite smoothly and silently. However, as others have already noted, the instructions are poorly written.Out of the box, the flush handle is installed backwards (to reduce box size requirements). Remove the handle from the flush arm by loosening the set screw using the provided hex wrench, then pull free and set aside. Now, for the installation itself:1) Install the rubber washer with the square cutout upon the bracket assembly.2) Insert the bracket assembly (with rubber washer) through the square hole in the toilet's water tank from the interior, ensuring that the upper/lower stops face towards the center of the tank as shown in the diagram. Hold in place.3) Insert the chrome-pated brass lock nut assembly into the tank's square hole from the outside, then thread onto the bracket assembly (NOTE: left-hand threads). Hand tighten or use wrench.4) Place plastic washer onto flush lever pivot rod.5) Apply waterproof grease upon pivot rod (and perhaps a dab in the bracket assembly's hole).6) Insert pivot rod through bracket assembly until it protrudes beyond the lock nut assembly.7) Attach flush lever to serrated portion of protruding pivot rod at desired angle, then tighten set screw using provided hex wrench.I added the step for the grease - the bracket assembly is brass and the pivot rod portion of the flush lever is chrome-plated brass. Sooner or later the chrome will wear through and corrosion of the brass material will create friction that will hinder operation. The grease should prolong smooth operation for several more years.

Even though I purchased a top of the line toilet, once I installed this new lever it was easy to see how cheap the stock one is. This lever feels heavy and high quality. Really like it.

It looks beautiful and fits perfectly with my old fashioned bathroom. So much nicer than the chrome handle the toilet came with.
