Design is anything but "Universal Mount"
This review is for a front mounted handle on the left side of the tank. Warning! Don’t be fooled by Delta’s “Universal Mount” terminology as it is terribly misleading. While the handle easily attaches to the tank in a standard manner, the arm that attaches to the flapper is joined to the handle by a plastic section in the shape of a “J”. When attached to the handle the “J” protrudes approximately 2-5/8” directly into the tank (much too far), and only 1-1/2” to right (not far enough). These dimensions did not allow the arm to clear the fill valve (located in the back, left of the tank), rendering the product unusable. Admittedly, I do not have a Delta tank, but neither it nor my fill valve are unusually shaped or sized (interior dimension front-to-back is 8-3/4”). Delta obviously added the “J” section to an arm that can swing fully left or right to create the “Universal Mount”, but Delta’s design went too far into the tank before changing direction, and having gone that far into the tank, Delta needed the section of the “J” that goes to the left or the right to be longer to clear the fill valve. Failing to do so made their “Universal Mount” tank lever non-functional.
In the interest of fairness, I liked the aesthetics of the handle, and the quality of materials seemed satisfactory. I would have been satisfied if it could have been made functional.

Have to push hard to flush
These look nice enough but you have to push them down pretty hard to flush the toilets we used them on (American Standard Champion 4). That may be because they are pretty short so there is not a lot of leverage or may just be the case with the particular toilet model. The reality is that you're changing the flusher that the toilet manufacturer designed specifically for the toilet.

Pretty!
I bought this toilet lever. It looks great on the side of my toilet, but I did not realize that you had to pull UP on the lever to flush. Is this correct - pulling the lever up to flush? I wish I had been told that before I ordered the lever. I might have gotten a different style.

Delta-Cassity Tank Lever in Bronze
We recently built a new home and selected Delta-Cassidy bath and kitchen faucets, which we love. At first we thought getting the Tank Levers were an extravagant item, but once the builder installed them it really added the final touch of elegance to our bathrooms. We love them and would highly recommend them on a new build or a remodel. They truly added the finishing touch to our new home.

Matching fixtures
So nice this was available so that it matches our bath fixtures. It is heavy and solid like the fixtures. We are happy with it.

Q&A
I have an a toilet that is 24 years old. The hole that the lever goes through is an oval hole 1 inch by 3/4 inch.
Will the lever bolt fit through this size hole. Can I purchase the lever 79760-cz. will it fit. the specs show a nut at 1 and 1/8 inch but what size is the bolt that goes through the tank.
Hi Dave, Thank you for your question. The bolt size of the tank lever 79760-CZ is approximately 9/16" outside diameter. The lever has a 5/8" square behind the threaded bolt that fits into the toilet tank opening. We would not recommend our tank lever for the 1" x 3/4" oval opening on your toilet tank.
Thanks,
Dave

Is it possible to reverse direction of the lever?
Is it possible to reverse direction of the lever action? I have a Toto toilet that the handle mounts on the left side and would like to have the lever point forward instead of to the rear. The only way I see to do this is if you push the lever up to flush which does not seem normal. Is there a method to install with the lever forward and pushing down?
Hi Bob, Thank you for your question. The flush mechanism on the model 79760-CZ only travels in a counter-clockwise direction. So even though you can position the handle and the flush arm in different configurations, the mechanism only moves in on direction. So, handle pointing back, flushing down, and handle pointing forward, flushing up are your two choices for a left side mount.
Thanks,
Dave

New universal mount handle
I was informed that all your tank levers have changed to be universal mount (side or front). When did this change happen and can you tell the difference between the old style and the new by model numbers or any other way? The old style look to have metal lift levers vs. plastic for the new. Is this the case, and is the attachment section different?
Hi Bob, Thank you for your question. This change to the universal mount was rolling change that started May of 2013. The model numbers for the levers did not change. You are correct that the old models have metal lift levers and the new do not. The attachment at the tank is no different.
Thanks,
Dave
