Thanks so much! Clear instructions, to the point and encouraging, just what I was looking for in an instructional video. I've never done this job before and I was a little intimidated but I did it today after watching your video twice and best of all it works, no leaks and no more carting water from the tub to fill the tank! 😊🎉
Glad to hear it! Good for you! 😎
Bless you sir! With your directions this 72 yr old woman was able to successfully replace the fill valve on my toilet. I am so grateful.
You’re welcome! 😎
The product description is very detailed.You're a professional toilet repairman.
LOL! I'm not even close to being a professional, but thanks for the kind words. 😎
This was the best, most informative video I found. Many grateful thanks.🎉 Very well done instructions.
Thanks! 😎
Thank you! I was able to follow your instructions easily. My wife thinks I'm a handyman now :)
You’re welcome! Now go fix something else. LOL 😎

You’re welcome and thank you! 😎
Thanks for making this video. Really helped me!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Thank You Thank You Thank You... I first installed the 400A. But noticed that the overflow tube was draining into the overflow pipe. But nowhere did I see any direction on whether to install the tube outside or inside the pipe....I installed it outside finally and it seemed to be working fine. But Thanks to your video, I now have confirmation that indeed it is supposed to be outside. Surprising thing is that all our toilets are installed with the tube inside and I can see water being wasted.
The refill tube is normally pointed into the overflow tube to refill the bowl. The following video explains when it is okay to point it outside the overflow tube... ruclips.net/video/uMfD_utCahg/видео.html

thanks

I used your video to repair my toilet today. The valve wasn’t filling the toilet quickly so I watched this video, bought the appropriate valve assembly, and replaced it step by step along with you. Now it works perfectly.
Next problem is that the toilet isn’t using a full 6 liters per flush. The flapper valve is closing way too soon. I think the next project is to replace that assembly.
Thanks! Good to hear!
For your flapper, one of these videos might be helpful... ruclips.net/video/Ts7jxxw8GuA/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/XFUXTV8lPic/видео.html
@@HacksbyDad I’m going to buy an adjustable flapper valve and replace the old one. But first I’m going to scrub out all the mold with your “one two punch” hack.
This whole series has been very helpful. Thank you.

Nice easy learning thanks
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Very nice instructions
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😎
@@HacksbyDad had to replace two of these. The originals in the home only lasted four years before they made an awful fog horn sound when the fill was complete. Just finished and no more horn sound. I did just put a big towel under the tank hole and instead of soaking up the water from the inside I just let it leak out onto the big towel. Thanks again

Make sure to keep your washers and parts during the replacement process, some of these toilets require smaller pieces.
thanks mans
You're welcome.

Is it ok if the water is more than 3 inches from the top of the over flow pipe? The water reaches the previous water height in the tank. I turned the water level. adjustment screw all the way clockwise to increase the water but it did not get any higher. I replaced the fluid master because I was hearing a whistling sound and I’m wondering if this contributed to my water bill increasing.
Is the top of the overflow pipe at least 1 inch below the tank lever hole? Here are the installation instructions and diagrams for reference... www.fluidmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/400A_RUBIK_Instructions_Eng%EF%80%A2Span_5x7.25_020118.pdf
Can any fluidmaster be used?
Is your existing one a Fluidmaster? Right now I see the basic 400A and premium 400H models in the stores. Both can be used in most toilet tanks. 400A can get the job done and 400H has a few more features.
