TOTO THU500S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the TOTO THU500S flapper replace a THU138S or THU175S flapper?
Yes. The THU500S is the consolidated replacement for a group of older TOTO flappers: THU138S, THU175S, THU331S, THU140S, THU299S, THU253S, THU277S, THU347S, THU275S, THU332S, THU369S and THU499S. If the flapper you pulled out of the tank carries any of those numbers, the THU500S is the part that takes its place.
2) Does the TOTO THU500S flapper come with a chain, or do I need to buy one?
The chain is in the box. The THU500S ships with its chain and with set-up instructions specific to your TOTO tank model, so nothing else is needed to hook it to the trip lever. That adjustability is also why the instructions matter: the flapper is set differently depending on which tank it is going into.
3) My TOTO toilet keeps running between flushes. Is the flapper the part to replace?
A toilet that trickles or refills on its own with nobody using it is almost always losing water past the flapper seal, and on a 3 inch TOTO valve the THU500S is the service part for that. The rubber sealing face hardens and distorts over time and stops seating on the valve. Swapping it is a tank-side job with no tools beyond disconnecting the chain from the trip lever.
4) What is the TOTO THU500S flapper made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic restroom?
Polypropylene body with a rubber sealing surface. The rigid plastic frame is what carries the hinge and the adjustment, and the rubber is the part that does the sealing against the valve seat. Rubber is the wear item in any flapper, which is why this is sold as a service part rather than something you rebuild.
5) Is the TOTO THU500S a genuine TOTO part or an aftermarket flapper?
It is TOTO's own part, ordered as THU500S. That matters on a flapper more than on most tank parts, because the seal geometry and the chain length set the flush volume; a generic flapper that fits the opening can still change how much water goes down on each flush.
