Anyone know what "toilet" part looks like a styrofoam boob?

[Denise1952]

I wish I could draw it but it is made of styrofoam, and looks like a fake boob, or a hat with a knob on top??

I could really use some help/expertise here?? denise

You might be talking about a float ball. Does it ride up and down on top of the water?

 

[Denise1952]

I thought so at first, but can't google a pick up one like I've seen. I've never seen one actually "in" a toilet. Just laying around, like in someone's garage or something. It's shaped just like half the size of your pic with a flat (not rounded) bottom, and it has just a little nipple, looking thing on top, always black, with the main part grey?

It may be a part for something else?? Not a toilet??

 

[Denise1952]

glad you showed up Phil because I was going to write you directly because you come up with strange objects on "can you name this object" or whatever you called it. Miss that game by the way hugs, denise

Here's what it looks like Phil, and others (just the hat part):

Denise, I've never seen one exactly like that, but it looks like it might be the flapper that most have at the end of the chain that closes the drain. Go to You Tube and type "Toilet Repair" I'm sure you will see lots of pictures.

 

[Denise1952]

it's bigger than a flapper UR. It's the size of/proportion to, that pic above?? I know I've seen them but where, I can't remember. Construction site, or parts store. I am googling trying to find the name of them, or even a photo.

That round blue ball we call a ballcock which can stick or needs cleaning and lubricating. (hope I have explained that in a clean way)

 

[Denise1952]

It's not like that but thank you clover. It is shaped exactly like the little hat, but it is that size I would say, the size in your pic

I think it is meant to cover something??

 

[Underock1]

Try "Toilet repair images" on google. Lots of illustrations. What's the context of your need? If you are looking for a replacement part. you must know where the part goes.

 

[Denise1952]

No, it's for a joke, nothing I gotta have, just something I want the "name of" I've seen them before, that's all And never hooked up, just laying around.

I think it has nothing to do with toilets.
The search is on! Llol

 

[Linda]

I was wondering why you wanted to know, but I guess you've answered that now.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I was thinking flapper too Underock.

 

[vickyNightowl]

Winter faucet protector?

 

[Denise1952]

Vicky, that might be it!! Let me look. THAT'S IT, thank you soooooooo much!!

 

[clover]

Your toilet cisterns are slightly different than ours, Do you recognize the bit you are looking for

 

[SeaBreeze]

Winter faucet protector?

:goodjob:

 

[Denise1952]

thank you clover, I did think it had to be part of a toity, but turns out it wasn't

 

[vickyNightowl]

Yay! We should have a game like this

 

[Denise1952]

I agree vicki & phil does a fun one similar.

 

[Pappy]

Huh, what, but, I, are we talking about a toilet cover? An insulated facet cover? A toilet paper cover. Lordy, Denise....I'm totally lost. :dunno::why:

 

[Underock1]

Denise, :tapfoot:. What kind of toilet emergency did you have involving an outside faucet cover? :laugh:

 

[Pappy]

Geez, Underock. I'm struggling not to make a comment here.

 

[SifuPhil]

I agree vicki & phil does a fun one similar.

Phil used to do a fun one similar - he's retired now.

You got me good, Denise - I was wracking my brain for some foam boob thingie that wasn't a float. Glad you got the answer.
