61 y/o woman just changed a fill valve thanks to your video. All I've ever done with a toilet is use it, clean it or plunge it. Your detailed and to the point video gave me the confidence to feel I could do it. Thank you for saving me money because my other option was to call a plumber to change out a $14 part.😘
Hey, thanks so much for this video. Hubby just bought this brand of fill valve and it gave him confidence that he knew what he was doing. Videos like yours make RUclips and the internet worth their weight in gold. Thanks again.
Simple, straightforward, no use of terms that a average person wouldn’t know, start to finish of whole process; this video not only helped me replace that for my toilet, but genuinely pleased me with how well made it was. You my friend are a shining example of how all “how-to” and DIY videos should be made! Keep up the great work!
Ja, imagine us folks before UTube 🤣 we had a set of handy repair type books years back. Had to fix a garbage disposal was stuck or something. The darn book said put in a broom handle and that should get out whatever it was. I don't remember the whole thing, but I did & the darn thing worked like normal. Go figure.👍😁🤣
I kid you not. I knew the fill valve was the issue, just didn’t know how easy it was to fix, so I got a plumber. He told my wife we needed new toilets and etc. Wanted to charge $3,500!! I said “awe nah fam” and went on youtube. You basically just saved me $3,485! This vid came in clutch!! 🙏 ✊
Thank you fixed my toilet today for $15. 1 tip, not necessarily "instead of measuring", but when I took the old one off, I just made the new valve the same size by lining up the fill valves next to each other and then unscrewing until the same length.😂😂😂 Thank You Again!
Thank you! You saved me hundreds of dollars. A plumber was going to charge me $50 to come look at my toilet and up to $300 for parts and labor. I spent $13 dollars on the project and I did it in 10 minutes.
Watched two videos and this one was the best. A+ for saying it would take between 10 and 15 minutes because that’s exactly what it took this novice to replace the float valve!
Thank you! I'm a full time RN, raising 2 young adults, struggling to make ends meet..followed your video..changed the fill valve & installed toilet insulation..my toilet works Perfectly! You helped me save alot of money...
The amount of things I didn't know before being homeowner. Thank you to your channel and other like that help with small jobs. These are things I need to teach my kids so they know what to do when they own a home
Watched your video and followed it step by step, fixed my toilet in 5 mins for a total of 14.95 + tax for parts. Thank you very much! Saved me the cost of a plumber. I'm a new subscriber!
I replaced my flapper earlier, thinking that would solve the running toilet. It did not solve it. That job was already pushing the limits of what I'm confident doing. But despite that, I went ahead and replaced the fill valve using this video. Problem solved, confidence restored. Thank you!
Thank you! Single mom here...just saved me a plumber bill and hopefully I can catch up on my water bill that's over $1,000 since my toilets been running constantly and I didn't realize it was such an easy inexpensive fix!
Saved lots of money by following your video. Your instructions matched those in the product. Yet seeing it is better than looking at the pictures in the instructions.
Just finished swapping out my fill valve and it worked perfectly! So proud of myself for taking it on and actually getting it done properly 😁 I never would have tried it without this video so thank you!!
Awesome! I never would've had the confidence to fix this myself except for the assurance shown in this video. For $10 I was able to replace the fill valve without calling a plumber, and it was surprisingly easy. Thanks!
Thank you, Sir! You were very helpful!! I'm an old lady here all by myself worried how I was going to do this and there you are showing how easy it is and thanks to you is was very easy and didn't take as long or was as hard to do as I thought it would be. Again, Thank you so much for being here!
Thanks! This video was better than the instructions that came with the Fluidmaster fill valve. It took me about 35 minutes because I am slow and have poor mechanical skills, but the result was perfect!
Water was shooting from the top of my original fill valve. I had to be replace it. I was able to easily replace my damaged fill valve with the same product used in your video and thanks to your steps. Thank you.
My master bedroom toilet never ever totally flushed, I always had to flush twice or more and/ or pour some liquid soap in the center right after pulling the lever so it would flush all the waste. Thanks to you I adjusted the height of the fill system and now it flushes perfectly. I had new flapper and lever , so that didn't need to be replaced. I bought the Fluidmaster 400H because I like the fact that is easy to adjust all features. Thank you Sir for a great , short and even more important , easy understand video.
The most helpful and detailed ...step by step video that I've found. Thorough and detailed, while being able to see the process, up close ..POV and that makes it so much more helpful than other videos I've seen.
Tank water and bowl water adjustments?! What?! Mine were not labeled but the tank water level definitely was adjustable and that was all I needed to modify vs replacing the entire fill valve! Thank you!!! I've been fighting with this darn thing since I moved in 2.5 yrs ago. This is at least the 4th time I thought I fixed it so let's hope this time was it. I learn a little something new each time but am definitely saving this video for the future because it's so short and helpful.
I replaced my toilet fill valve myself (saved money and time as handyman are hard to find these days).Thank you for the clear and easy instructions. 👍🙏
Very good guide to replacing the fill valve, but here are some other tips. 1 - Turn off the house water in case the old shutoff valve at the tank leaks or you bump it and turn it on again (no, didn't happen to me). 2 - The nut under the tank holding in the old filler post doesn't undo with fingers, it needs a wrench. Before starting, practice getting to that nut with the wrenches you have. If you can't get to it, don't start the job and then get stuck halfway! Can't reach it on our toilet, too close to the wall, had to call the plumber anyway.
This video was very easy to understand and every step was clearly demonstrated and explained. My toilet had been running and I was able to replace the fill valve by myself. The only issue I encountered was the old one was over 20 years old and I couldn’t unscrew the plastic ring that sealed it to the tank. I had to go buy a small hack saw to cut it off. After that it was a breeze to install the new one. Thank you so .much!
Great video. Took me 30 minutes and that includes my paranoid self going over everything to make sure I don’t skip a step. Thank you. I did this to stop the groaning noises coming out of the pipes.
Excellent video. I have Fluidmaster fill valves in all 3 of my toilets, but prior to watching your video, I never knew they were adjustable. (I'm sure I would've known that long ago if I'd taken the time to read the instructions!) The cost of water here is very high and my toilets are older, so they aren't designed to conserve water. They currently use considerably more water than necessary. Being able to adjust the fill valves will allow me to reduce the amount of water used every time a toilet is flushed. Thanks to you, I'm looking forward to a lower water bill in the future!
Thank you for this, when my old fill valve stopped working, I thought I would have to call my plumber and wait until he was available. When I got the new fill valve it took me about ten minutes to complete the job including adjusting the water levels.
Thanks for taking the dread out of replacing the fill valve. I have several toilets in my house and it seems that many require the fill valves to be replaced, and I'm not that handy. But after watching this video, I feel confident that I can make the changes without paying a fortune to have somebody come and do it for me.
Thank you so much!! This video was very helpful and informative. Once we got the old valve out ( which was a ridiculously long project because the previous owner glued the thing on the bottom), it took about 3 minutes to install the new one because your directions were so clear. Also, very helpful to know which one to purchase- thanks, again!🎉
Thank you for helping me and my friend learn how to properly fix our problems we were experiencing during installation. Your video has helped us properly figure out what was going wrong when we tried to install the flow master 400a series toliet fill valve. Keep up the good work buddy. Much appreciation to you and your video. Thank you
Thanks a lot. Really quick video. Nice and simple and to the point. This was my first time replacing a full valve and it took about 20 minutes while reading the instructions. Thanks for the video.
This tutorial was very helpful! Your instructions was well explained and easy to follow. At first I went to replace my gasket in my old fill valve but the plastic was so old and brittle I accidentally cracked it 😬 The new Fluidmaster is better anyhow and since it’s adjustable it’ll help me save water. Thanks again!
I watched your video, felt confident I could do it, reached under to unscrew the water pipe thingy, and it required a tool LOL Knocked my confidence to the ground and I walked away. I'll try again tomorrow...with something to unscrew the thing
thank you so much! i moved into my first ever apartment and maintenence doesn't fix anything so i have to learn to do it all myself ;~; this really, really helped me out a lot, my water bill will be so much better now!
nice tutorial. i made sure it was the right height by standing it up next to the old that i had just taken out, and adjusted the height of the new one to be the same as the old one.
I am the least hand man I know. You said this takes about 10 minutes, so I figured I'd be at it for an hour. Nope! About 10 minutes. I appreciated your instruction as it was simple, to the point, and exact. Thank you!
This video convinced me to buy the swanky Fluidmaster 400H, which is the Cadillac of toilet fill valves. The video was very clear and easy to follow. The only trouble I had was removing the old valve. The thing was really in there!
I never cut the black rubber thin tube since I installed it and once I cut it to proper length I heard water bubble noise then the toilet bowl was not running water anymore. Thank you
Thank you for this. Maintenance at my apartment yet again refused to come by to fix my toilet, which wouldn't flush... $16 and 30 minutes later I can breathe easy again😭
This really helped. Thanks! Only problem I had was connector to wall kept slowly pumping water, but I guess didn't shut valve off hard enough, older valve, though toilet replaced in 2016.

Same, I had a quote for $288 to replace this before realizing how easy it was thanks to this video.
Rip off pricks
tell your plumber to suck eggs

Super easy to install and the fine tuning adjustments are awesome!
Great video! So many great tips. Based on the video, I got a sponge and a bucket, which was $5 well-spent. Absolutely perfect instructions.

Never thought I'd leave a comment like this, but this is the best toilet refill valve video on RUclips, lol.
Thank you so much after messing up the first time we followed your instructions again and we fixed our toilet. The easiest instructions ever

Appreciate all the help. The hardest thing for me was getting the old one off. It was an old one that was screwed down tight.
I could not get mine off. I finally had to call a plumber

Thank you!! Single mom, fixed it myself😊

Thank you! Replaced my fill valve with your excellent instructions.
Thank you. This was so easy and straightforward.
THANK YOU! I NORMALLY DONT DO HOME REPAIR STUFF BUT TODAY I DID! 😂
Fluidmaster fill valves work great and last a long time. The only thing I would add is to replace the flapper valve while you’re in there.
Ya, replacing the flapper is a good idea if it’s looking worn out
Also recommend changing the water hose line at the same time , $7 part at Home Depot, if the hose burst, be a mess with flood damage….
Thanks for the video! Just replaced mine in minutes!
Awesome 👍🏼🔥👍🏼🔥
