- This video is going to tell you about toilet plumbing fill valves. How to fix and install them.
Toilet fill valves can enter the toilet from the bottom or the side. They can have a brass or plastic shank. The Fluidmaster Air Gap 6000 offers both options with the added compliance of an air gap. I'll show you how to change the fill valve on you toilet. I'll also show you my pipework on a close coupled and standard toilet. I'll show you how to repair the toilet. Enjoy!

Tried to fix a leaking toilet and now I just want to say: I respect all you professional plumbers.
they make it look easy
For someone who knows nothing about plumbing and who works in a plumbing depot these videos are slowly helping me! Thanks!
I love the “simpler” videos you keep knocking out. It doesn’t matter how “big” your channel gets, you’re not afraid to do the basic tasks.
I trained as a plumber for two years and due to age ended up having to go alone. I couldn’t afford to be an apprentice wage. Long story short I gave up because I made some mistakes over time that just knocked my confidence. I’m now a desk warrior 😕 I love these videos because although I’m not doing it anymore, I still get to learn from the professionals. Keep it up James!
Love the fluid master procp packs keep a couple in the van. They come with a dual flush syphon cable operated, a brass shank bottom inlet valve and all the bits to fit most cisterns. Can get them from city. They also stock the parts separately to replenish parts if you dont use the full pack.
Great video as usual - I noticed you used a push fit on the flexy - how good are they (I tend to use a compression joint) and is there anything I should do to ensure they don't leak when refitting. See you of Thursday on Ale Army, for the usual beer rants, banter and laughs as usual. Hold Tight!!
Hi James. Another tip for checking if you've got a leak into the toilet bowl is to get a piece of toilet tissue and hold it against the back of the bowl (as long as toilet hasn't been used for a while). If get immediately wet, then you've found the leak. Gaz
You Make Plumbing Look so Easy And Fun Thank Goodness U have made this Video On how to Install a Side Enrty fill Valve toilet . Must admit i Will Have to watch this A few times To get use to fitting
Nice vid, Jimbo. It would be really handy if you did a vid on toilet installations with a vertical soil stack in the ground. Using the question mark/flexible waste? Just an idea 👍🏻
Hiya. I've recently just subscribed to your channel. And very informative it is.Have you ever done a video on converting an old cistern with a side flow valve. Into a twin flow system?
Excellent ! Request for future videos on toilets - concealed cistern + weak flush + how to set up a greater than 6 litre flush.
You make me laugh 😂and informed.. excellent
those fluid master they are a dream to install and easy to adjust.
Hi James, is one toilet shorter than the other? As in the waste pipe on the right, does it have a lower height than the toilet on the left? Just wondering thanks
Nice vid.. thanks keep them coming 🙏
Either a rubbish plumber or a cheap skate 🤡
Hi there and really enjoyed this video, very informative and easy to understand, I would like to ask something about toilets, basically in my flat there is a bathroom and to the right is a separate toilet, I would like to know if it is a good idea to install a secondary toilet in the bathroom (with obvious modifications to the where the basin is now) being also ground floor flat please..........technically I suppose that would be OK,however in reality there would be 2 toilets next to one another about 60 cm and separated by a wall.......would that work? thanks and I would appreciate if someone could give me a guidance..........🙂
Thanks!
Newbie here, how strong does the wall have to be to take the weight of the older cistern if it’s not testing on the pan? My wall is just plasterboard and not sure where beams are.
Nice too have a large rubber on there 🙄🤔😂😂 never know with you haha another great vid, great channel, full of the very best advice and content 👌
i use 15mm talon pipe clips to fix the cistern to the wall. great vid..
🤡
Lol the one bit i needed to see was you unscrewing the flexi pipe and it was sped up 😄 please can you show how to undo the pipe from the toilet? I’ve had really bad trouble with mine where it seems like the pipe is really stuck on the plastic screw 😩
Can we use flexi toiler pipe into 4inch fittings???
Hi James and everyone
I've been using the fluid master bottom entry bottom fill a lot on all my toilet upgrades I've been doing. Would you use these or should I start using the air gap floats on future installs?
The old black and red ones are being phased out as wras discovered they are not to water regs. You can get away with it with a double check valve but that's adding further costs. These air gap ones are just as easy to install but don't have the same height adjustment. If you have a short wide cistern, they will not fit.
This is the second one for the basement bat. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
Need an idea how to connect another toilet pipeline to a new toilet made just next to that room. The pipeline coming from the old toilet is a floor toilet pipe and the new one is gonna be a wall pipeline as there is big sheet.
Can you please give me any idea? Will it work if I do that. I mean can use the toilet perfectly right?
Its just an idea I have for a new toilet.
Great video as always, I wonder can you answer a question. What do you call the rubber connection that goes into the back of a toilet bowl from the elbow pipe, thanks.
Flush cone,there are a few different types of them.
Don’t use the pvc ones, always rubber! The ones sourced with the Gerberit flush pipe are excellent quality
James I'm so sorry, I was desperate but lucky enough to find TWO toilets in your studio, sorry about your van! I'll get the pressure washer, hold tight! 😂
I am not seeing the bowl refill hose on this new valve like I have seen on every other fill valve. How does the bowl get refilled? Thanks.
Very useful video once again i am just wanting to know,is there such a thing as high and low-pressure valves anymore,or do all the modern valves just self adjust.
FluidMaster says that the airgap6000 is compatible with both. On a mains feed, you keep the little insert at bottom of the brass shank in and when you have a gravity fed system, you remove it.
@@ChristianBHough cheers, yes seen that before I did wonder.
What sort of pan connector did you use for joining to the tee James?
🤡
Hi my loo needs replacement, it seems to have the widest pipe part on the left side is that a named pipe ? What do I order what’s it called ? as I need all new pipes ,, cheers
I have a side entry ball valve can I swap it for this one I'm not sure its compatible
Can you do a video on replacing the filling loop valve next to a pressure vessel please? 😄
What topics in maths do you need for plubing I'm 13 and taking my gcses next year
No L brackets under the low level cistern?
I've just asked screwfix when they are planning to start stocking these as they currently dont.
Brass all the way for me too. I never buy the fluidmaster combo packs because of this, even if it's cheaper.
Screwfix's response:
Hi Christian. I don't have any info on when we will be stocking new items, that is all down to the buying department. However, we are always trying to update out range so I would expect to see this item on our shelves soon.
Thanks.
-Owen.
Just had a look on the Toolstation website and they stock them. A couple of quid more than the standard brass Fluidmaster valves. I’m with you on the old Fluidmaster combo set. Always brass.
Also, be interesting to know what these are like in hard water areas.
At least once a month I have to clean the scale in my fill valve 😂
Hi there... could I ask how I stop my toilet seat moving?? I keep tightening it but always works loose.. many thanks
🤡
Look like good valves. I find fluidmaster valves to be very good. However not so good for retrofitting to toilet cisterns with a conventional siphon as often a bit bulky to fit between the side of the tank and siphon. One needs a much slimmer valve for those. It also often pays to change the doughnut washer if having to remove cistern to change valve
Siamp 99 for type you're describing every time. Or torbeck cotton reel type
Why isn't there a speed fit type flex with a valve and a female connector to a 20mm cistern fill valve ?
Talking of bottom entry, have you ever plumbed in a bidet? There not very popular in this country, but they are pretty awesome :)
I had a toilet/built-in bidet combo fitted a few weeks ago. With the international loo roll crisis of the past few months (😁) I think it'll come in handy.
Combination square not set square
Good video.
look good but the problem with the 6000 that it may foul on the syphon sometimes as the pro is the same problem
Leaky Liam would sort that out for you mate, 👍🏽👍🏽
Where u get ur Apple Watch band from
I like the singing though...you good
Does anyone know if using this means you wouldn't need to fit a non return value ?
You don't need a check valve with the air gap fill valve.
I don’t like the flat rubber washer on the fluidmaster, much prefer the conical washer as they give an easier and better seal.
Actually a decent comment
Wow even the fill valves are on the right side in some cases.
🤡
16:53 if the cistern fixing screws are not rusted,and isolation valve works.🤔
Bottom entry, big hole, big rubber... Filth! 😂 Wait until Dave Zeraski sees this #alearmy
Don't forget "inserting the 4 inch" 🤣
Oi! Do I have to get up earlier in order to lay claim to the filth and innuendo? ;-)
@@loafersheffield there's so much in there, I've bound to have missed some! 😀
Tried to buy from on amazon but can’t seem to find it. Am I being daft or is it not yet on there. Putting Airgap 6000 into amazon search!
Unfortunately they’re not listed yet! I checked this morning!
plumberparts thank you. Thought I was being thick. Stay tight! 🤩
Wolseley have them. Only place I've seen them so far
Toolstation has them as well.
Flexi James !!! I hope you didn’t film this on a Friday 😂
Hi James need to pic your brain when I turn on hot tap on bath or basin the pipes in the house hammer like a freight train and only way to stop it is turn on the hot tap in the kitchen how can I fix it ??
I'm not a plumber by trade but check the tap glands and if you have a header tank in the loft, check the float valve.
They are both relatively simple tasks providing you know where to isolate your hot and cold water feeds. The header tank should have an isolation point on the rising cold water main.
Hi thanks for the reply not sure if there is a header tank as there a combi boiler in the kitchen but there is a hot water cylinder in main bedroom ?
🤙
Hello sir sandeep plumber INADIA to uk joB Serch plumber 🤝🤝🆗️
Do they come in quick release aswell for an even easier call out? 😂😂
I've just had a look at a few more videos. It doesn't look like it fits the current fluidmaster fill valve shank, but once fitted you can change it over without installing a new airgap 6000 shank.
@@ChristianBHough thank you 👍
It doesn't fit the existing because they fill from the bottom, this is against water regs as there is a chance of backflow contamination.
@@chrispowell1866 yeah makes sense, I suppose if they were quick release it kind of defeats the purpose of installing them in the first place
What’s the name of the pvc cutter

amzn.to/32X0sHA On the shop brooooooo!
plumberparts thanks
Everything fast forwards the important stuff sometimes it says u can see in another video but what’s the point I’ve searched hard enough to find each time 😔
Can you not try sell something for 5 minutes 😀
I’m actually selling the word ‘No’ at the moment! 😂😂👍👍
Funny when you talk about leaking toilets, my neighbour both of her main loo and downstairs loo overflows are constantly trickling. Infact the front one, she decided to put rocks there to make it look like a waterfall?!
This has been constant over the last 13 months.
According to the wastage you quote for a days worth of a toilet doing this, then she's paid for nearly 150,000 litres of water and still hasn't fixed it.
Tbh I'm more worried it's going to sink the foundations of her house, which mines attached to 🙄😭😂
Not really sure how you tell a neighbour 'YOUR TOILETS ARE FUCKING LEAKING" 👀👀👀
Forst! And Holding TIGHT!
Bottom entry fnarr fnarr kyak kyak ....
The same with the radiators everything but the pipe work. 🤷♀️ not plumbing just DIY and following instructions already giving in information manual
Yeah, Jaz loves a ‘brass shank’..........✊🥖💦💦💦
Oi Jaz, you should’ve explained how a fill valve works👍👍
Putting all the plumbers out of business for a few subscribers
Literally the most hated dude by plumbers🤡
@@luizfigo2420 well when your a plumber going to customers houses an they are saying they just doing your work an make a living from an worked hard through college an apprenticeships to learn an you got guys that are just showing the public how to do it all for a few views an likes. Dont get me wrong hes good at plumbing an ive learnt alot from him but dam. Everyone without plumbing qualifications are just doing it them selves now. Might aswel ditch the profession. Lucky im learning how to trade because ot looks like everyones gna be out of business soon
vent!?
Everything thing I watch doesn’t show u how to pip anything that’s all I need to know I can do the rest as it’s only DIY not plumbing work
Excellent video as always, great fun, but now I will be a right cock.......Fill valve.......... float operated valve BS1212 parts 1 (Portsmouth type) part 2 (brass version with spout on top), part 3 (plastic version of part 2) part 4 (equilibrium type and everything else)...... really really sorry, I couldn't help it. It's my inner tit head talking
Fluidmaster is definitely inferior when it comes to fill valves compared to Thomas Dudley
🤡
Fluidmaster always pass causing water to flow through pan. Torbeck valves are better
