FINALLY! Of all the videos I watched, none of them were for the type of toilet that I had. Most have an easy twist off of the top portion of the intake valve, but mine has the same as this, where you have to push down and turn with pliers. After following these directions, I have my toilet flushing back to how it used to and filling back up in 20 seconds, instead of minutes. Thanks so much for this, really appreciate it!
Your comment gives me hope, I have been also looking for the right video and have tried numerous different things and nothing yet has worked. I have 2 toilets lile this, 1 fills up in less than 10 seconds and the 1 nor working correctly takes like 3:30 minutes!! (I know insane! & I get excited when my "use to be plumber b/f says, "I fixed the toilet!"... then I go in there with high hopes, FLUSH, then listen.... 1mim... 2... 3 min. . . Ahhhhhh not again NOT FIXED!! 🤔🙄) SO my fingers 🤞, I'm going to try this method shortly and I pray 🙏 it works for me top!! 🙌😃🤞
I literally cannot tell you how amazing this video was to me. We have the EXACT same full inlet here in the UK. I took mine apart and the diaphragm was full of gunk (limescale); cleaned it all up in the sink of warm soapy water, reassembled and boom. She works like a charm 😇 this has been bugging me for years!! Sending good vibes and love to you my good man, thank you 🙏
I am a licensed plumber working in Vancouver. I wanna say you video is excellent, very well done, very good explanations. It should be used as a teaching tool for plumbing apprentices. Great job - keep shooting!
I was searching for two days and finally i found yours explaining the way of cleaning the diaphragm of the fill valve without the need of removing the whole set..much appreciated and thanks indeed
Man! You are a God send. I tried watching so many videos and none could help me. My fill valve is only reachable to change behind the toilet which meant taking the toilet out. You saved me a great deal of money, I wish I could buy you a drink. Thanks mate
Thanks for the video! I was able to fix a water fill valve this morning that wouldn't shut off with the cleaning you show in your video. It's the gift that keeps on giving. It made my Father's day much more enjoyable.
Worked perfectly for our Western-brand toilet; the fill valve tower is exactly the same. My problem however was the small drain valve at the bottom of the float bowl; without this video I wouldn’t have been able to disassemble the fill valve tower to access the float bowl. Thank you very much, great job!!
While your video skills are lacking you showed me what needed to be done. After taking it apart I couldn't detect any problems but after I put it back together the shut off valve worked perfectly.
This worked perfectly. The only difference is mine had a little red clip that needed to be removed first. It came right out, no tools required. Thank you again for making this video!
Thank you for the video. I dredged up some sediment when replacing a well pressure tank and it clogged up the water inlet for my Glacier Bay toilet. I knew there was some type of filter, but had never needed to clean it before. My toilet is only a single flush model, but the video walked me through what I needed to do to clean the inlet.
Joe - Thank you my man. Just fitted my first concealed cistern, attached pan, waste etc and no leaks! Trouble was the cistern continued to fill despite adjusting float. I shut the water off and disassembled the unit as per your instructions, gave the (brand new) diaphragm components a clean and all is now working well. Many thanks from the UK.
Additional - fill valve still slightly leaking. In 10 hours reaches overflow, so probably something that can be tolerated. The system appears to work by having a very slow leak path into the diaphragm causing it to bend when under pressure from the mains water. When the float pops up a small rubber pad at the other end of the arm touches down onto a tiny aperture. This seals the unit pressuring the diaphragm and shutting off the water - very neat. Short story, clean the rubber pad and the tiny aperture in addition to this video.
First I twisted the valve head back and forth and saw a rush of black gunk come up. Then I ended up breaking the valve head trying to get off. I went ahead and replaced the whole valve as it was fairly old. Once I removed the old valve I was immediately able to see what was wrong. The rubber gasket was breaking up in tiny pieces and clogging up the valve. In my experience over the years it's so much easier to just replace the valve then spend tons of time trying to diagnose.
I had same issue and your video helped me to solve my problem. There were some debris in the rubber seal. After I cleaned it the problem got resolved. Thank you so much
Good detailed directions, a couple more steps may be needed: @ 02:10 use a q-tip to clean out the center hole of the fill tube, I removed a bunch of gunk from that hole, and at 02:52 pull out the float connected to the float arm and clean the float and the inside of the float bowl, mine was full of crud causing it to stick.
Thanks so much for your detailed description; I could have saved a lot of time, if I went to RUclips first, before trying to locate the manufacture's support, that told me to pull the diaphragm housing straight up and out, instead of rotating it.
Excellent video. But next video get someone to hold the camera. In any case, followed your instructions and totally eliminated the slow filling and prolonged water shutoff problems. Thanks a bunch, Mr. Jones.
I just fixed mine by using this same method, mine doesn't have the pin to pull out, just push-down and turn counter clockwise and clean ed it. My has some sort of white sand or mineral built up which blocked the valve to closed all the way. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you so much , Single Mom getting tools on hand saving lots of money !!! So helpful I did what you did but replace the black rubber and Magic happens !!! 🥰🐾
This is very helpful. It explains how to release the fill valve plastic very well but I'm still hesitant to push so hard down on the stopper. It feels like it will break. I'll try again but thanks for at least giving me the confidence to try to fix my leaky fill valve seal on my Glacier Bay dual flush toilet.
I didn't. It was very difficult to turn at first but once you put enough pressure on it, it turns. After doing it the first time and understanding how much force to use, it was much easier doing it a second time (I purchased an incorrect replacement valve the 1st time).
B T I have a toilet just like this one and it's not filling up with water that well.... would this fix it or should I buy a new part? What was wrong with yours?
Awesome video. This is same as delta valves. Explained it all perfectly. I didn’t really find any debris in it, but just a wipe down of the film on it stoped the leaking! Thanks!
Well this 8yo video helped me get the valve apart. Cleaned it and it let's a little more water through. My problem is it doesn't fill up after a flush BUT if I turn the water off and then on again it fills right back up again in a matter of seconds. Releasing the water pressure makes it work for some reason. Thoughts?
Great video! You described what you were doing perfectly! I have an R & T valve, which isn't exactly the same as this one, but you're directions still worked!
Thank You Sssooooooo MUCH!!! I DID THIS step by step and it WORKED. It saved me so much time and money tring to have a professional come in. Literally only took me about 7 mins. Iy would've been less time (I kept rewinding the video). I AM SOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! You have no idea. Bless you!
Bro.... awesome review... mine was running for like 10 minutes to fill.... but I cleaned mine out like you said... worked amazing... BUT... it kept running afterwards... then my girl says... just put the lid on... and wouldn't you know it... the toilet lid has to be on for some stupid ass reason.. but hey... it works now... thanks again
Edit: resolved I just wanted to let you know I resolved my problem. I had used a regular pair of pliers to open the top of the valve. Accidentally I managed to deform the top valve opening which is a pressure release. What happens when I first fill the tank with the new seal the tank fill fast and works properly. When the tank reached the fill line the arm would engage and the valve stopped the flow. Then at the next flush with the water now above the seal keeps the seal down and does not let the flow into the fill tank. What I had to do was replace the whole fill valve with a fluidmaster one. I have since repaired the opening using acrylic to open and reform the top but am not sure if it will be ‘flush’ (pun intended) with the arm. Will report back later on that. Btw: fluidmaster 242h seal will also replace the Niagara seal for the glacier bay. That comes from Amazon for $4. Niagara will send a new seal for no cost but it takes about a week. My fill valve was corroded. Replacing this allowed an initial fill but not a subsequent one. The internal pressure is not being released in the new valve. If the pressure release hole is blocked would the valve ever fill?
OMG, this really helped me. I was able to pull the pin out using my fingers. I used the pliers to open it and it was very easy. I rinse the diaphragm because it had some black stuff in it. It completely fixed the problem of the water coming out of the top.
I was so hoping I could use this video to get mine to work again. Followed to a T. Still takes 10 minutes to refill. May have to get replacement parts. Sux.
I have no water flowing out of the tube when the valve opens to fill the tank after flushing, it's all leaking out from under the top blue cap. I'm going to disassemble it as shown, and hopefully figure out what is blocking the water to flow out of the flexible tube. Thanks very much.
Hi, In my case this didn't solve the problem of making the tank fill faster. Instead I paid $7 for the "400A Universal Toilet Fill Valve" at the hardware store and that worked wonderfully. Now my tank fills in about 15 seconds. and took 10 minutes to replace.
Thank you thank you thank you, we have this same system and the valve was full of gunk, had no idea how to sort it out until I found this clip. You have saved me a ton on calling a plumber!! Thank you!!!
Seems so easy, I tried and for the life of me I could not remove that top pir=ece under the blue cap. Just went a bought a new fill valve $14.00. Seems to be working better.
The reason I made this video is that I was away from home for 1 year working in Las Vegas and my wife was at home in Hawaii when toilet decided to act up. Yup city water crew decided to work on main water line and introduced sediment which found its way into my toilet diaphragm. This cause it to slowly keep filling even after float shut flow off as sediment was not letting diaphragm to seat properly and shut off flow of water. I bought new toilet and made video and posted so my wife could follow steps to fix it. As previous comments stated you should clean and inspect diaphragm to insure all is good and also clean part where diaphragm seats to make sure nothing is causing a bad seal.
@@queensexynenaxox4597 Dont understand you question. Are you talking about the top of the lid where buttons to flush are? If so they are not meant to come off. The whole assembly is held together from underneath of toilet tank lid via big plastic nut. There are 2 plastic tabs that hold each button to chrome ring from under side of tank lid. These tabs are long and if broken render flush button useless.
Thanks much, this helped me. Mine didn't have debris, but I flushed it out and it no longer occasionally leaks. I also removed the main flapper and hosed and wiped it down. Also I removed it from the toilet, because I felt it would be easier to work on the outside.
thank youuuuuu soooo much! Omfg I am renting this place and we just could not figure out why big chunks of mold keep on showing up. I did some searching and I found that the mold is coming from this piece and getting set into the bowl after being flushed.
These were good instruction and exactly like my tank - but didn't resolve my issue of the water not filling back up after a flush. I even took off the float and cleaned that all around. Any suggestions for that?
Way to go in be in depth for those that maybe doing their first or are new to tools! Much respect for the info I had no clue about that diaphragm which I'm betting is my issue!!! Liked and subscribed! (Only positive fueled critique wld be less camera movement, cam stand/holder, or a second person/camera man, (but I'm sure you've heard it😏 already lol I get motion sickness so easy it's stupidly rediculous) but really liked how in depth n informative you are with the repair!!!! 👏🏻Nice job!!👍🏻
Thanks, unfortunately my glacier bay toilet with slow refill from hell. I tried turning valve cap counter clockwise while presisng down and it's impossible to get it off. I tried using vise grip and whole stem turns. Finally got it off. Then when I put it back on, now it doesn't stop refilling. Will replace entire stem with universal fluidmaster stem which is easier to work on.
Your product introduction is very detailed. Thank you for your video.We provide a variety of brands of toilet inlet valve, if you need to contact us in the future, thank you.
Although you have to evacuate the remaining water in the tank, and due to size of your hands limited due to limitation of free airspace within the tank. I chose to disconnect the incoming water supply line, then removed the (exterior fill tube retaining nut) fill tube and it was much easier. Plus I used a soft bristle toothbrush to clean all areas of brown water stains and scum and reassembled. Much, much easier, although you have to ensure fill tube gasket seal is still good...
Excellent. Otherwise I might have pulled the whole WC out to replace the flush assembly. Smallest amount of debris there, but that was the cause of the problem. Good advice. thanks.
Hello. My rental unit has one of these but the tank is much deeper than the fill valve so the cistern is not filling enough to properly flush. Does Glacier Bay make replacement kits with a taller overflow valve? Can I use an overflow tube extension? Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm on a well so I get crud all the time - sink aerators, etc - so no surprise the toilet inflow eventually became a trickle. Long story short, on my glacier bay there is a filter on the inlet that needed cleaning. Had to take the valve assembly out of the toilet to figure it out, but next time I can just remove the flexible water feed line and pull the filter out with needle nose pliers.
Really hoping you check your comments. This worked for what I need this but I think I did not put it back together the right way. The tank is filling up on its own but it’s just not stopping anymore. Any idea why that would be?

I wanna say you video is excellent, very well done, very good explanations.
It should be used as a teaching tool for plumbing apprentices.
Great job - keep shooting!
This is the blair witch of diy repair videos.
🤣🤣🤣
your welcome and by the way I made the blair witch movie. Glad you liked both of them.
you remind me of my ex wife who like to drive from the back seat. haha lol that why i dumped her.
Let me say, your video was very helpful, THANKS!!...... & .....this is the blair witch of diy repair videos.

Finally after 3 years toilet back to filling quick. Thanks man!!!
Thank you from a single mom!! My toilet wouldn’t stop running, but I followed these steps and now it’s fixed. ^_^
Best. It was hard to find this kind of simple video explaining the core steps of how to handle with this blue thing
Thanks for the video, save me money, in other models you need to take off a red plastic tab on top to make the turn, I hope this help other people 👍
How did you take the red tab off??
Thank you for doing this video, it saved me a trip to the hardware store. Thank you.
Awesome video. Very helpful. I tried it, Still inlet is slowly overflowing despite the arm locked water stopped to the flexible pipe
Thank you for the video saved me a trip 3 towns over to get plumbing replacements parts.
Finally. It only takes like 1 minute to fill up instead of 30 minutes! I hated going in there to find un-flushed stuff lmao!

Merci beaucoup M. Jones. Grâce à vous, j'ai réussi à nettoyer la valve de ma toilette. Vous êtes très gentil. Merci et Bravo!
Thanks this fixed my issue. I thought it was the large flapper having the issue but it turned out to be this smaller fill valve.
Thanks helped fix mine. I had to tap on the top cap piece with screwdriver and hammer lightly to get the thing to break loose
Very helpful.
OMG, this really helped me. I was able to pull the pin out using my fingers. I used the pliers to open it and it was very easy. I rinse the diaphragm because it had some black stuff in it. It completely fixed the problem of the water coming out of the top.
Thanks this was helpful, my intake was not working now fixed.
This helped so freaking much. Just used a magnet to get iron bits out. Had a plumber change some pipes and that had shook some deposits downstream.
I used your instructions to fix my fill valve -- Thank you so much!!!
Nothing. Can. Com
3
Nothing Can come between. Us
Thanks very much, this helped me to solve this. During this Covid19 getting service personnel is impossible. This saved me the water getting wasted
Exactly! Same here!
Thanks couldn't figure out how to get the top off until I saw your trick with the pliers. Thanks all sorted!
Its a trip it wasn't even that dirty but made a huge difference !!! Thanks man
I was so hoping I could use this video to get mine to work again. Followed to a T. Still takes 10 minutes to refill. May have to get replacement parts. Sux.
I just want to say Thanks God for this marvelous video that helped me save hundreds of dollars from plumbers who quoted me to fix the whole valve.
I have no water flowing out of the tube when the valve opens to fill the tank after flushing, it's all leaking out from under the top blue cap. I'm going to disassemble it as shown, and hopefully figure out what is blocking the water to flow out of the flexible tube. Thanks very much.
It is very helpful to resolve such repairs rather than search for plumber. Much appreciated to who is put it in U tube.
Worked like a charm and fixed my running toilet issue. Thank you sir!!

Hola, no entendí nada de lo que hablaste, pero tu vídeo me sirvió mucho, te envío un saludo desde Valdivia, Chile, y muchas gracias.
Thanks fella,fixed my water closet this evening thanks to your willingness to share . Good Karma to you from Ireland.
Thank you thank you thank you, we have this same system and the valve was full of gunk, had no idea how to sort it out until I found this clip. You have saved me a ton on calling a plumber!! Thank you!!!
Seems so easy, I tried and for the life of me I could not remove that top pir=ece under the blue cap. Just went a bought a new fill valve $14.00. Seems to be working better.
Wow, that is a tiny little hole for the water! No wonder gets clogged. Thanks for the advice 😊
Dude!! THIS is exactly the fix we were looking for - thanks so much!! p.s. maybe a camera stand next time? :D :D :D

Fixed it, mine was a little different explanation got me there thanks
Thank you sir. Solved the mystery of the running toilet!
Thanks so much, fixed my two toilets that started acting up within a week of each other
Cheers thanks for the brilliant video i can sort this tomorrow. From ireland

Great work showing us how to do it step by step. Save me a trip to Home Depot!
You’re a wonderful teacher!! Thank you! :-)
Smart. Person. want. To learn more .
Please? .

I finally fixed my toilet! You saved me a bunch of money bud. 😀
This worked perfectly, was exactly what I needed, thank you!
Thank you , I have just been able to stop ours from overfilling by following this 😀
Took me half an hour finding an exact model so that i see how to take the gasket off and clean it. xD
The others come straight off with the cap
Thanks for this tutorial. You helped me clean out all the gunk.
Thanks so much! Your video was very helpful.
Worked for my issue of constantly filling, thank you.
Thanks, unfortunately my glacier bay toilet with slow refill from hell. I tried turning valve cap counter clockwise while presisng down and it's impossible to get it off. I tried using vise grip and whole stem turns. Finally got it off. Then when I put it back on, now it doesn't stop refilling. Will replace entire stem with universal fluidmaster stem which is easier to work on.
Your product introduction is very detailed. Thank you for your video.We provide a variety of brands of toilet inlet valve, if you need to contact us in the future, thank you.
Although you have to evacuate the remaining water in the tank, and due to size of your hands limited due to limitation of free airspace within the tank. I chose to disconnect the incoming water supply line, then removed the (exterior fill tube retaining nut) fill tube and it was much easier. Plus I used a soft bristle toothbrush to clean all areas of brown water stains and scum and reassembled. Much, much easier, although you have to ensure fill tube gasket seal is still good...
Yup another peanut gallery person who has his own video. Made this for my wife when I was away on travel. Thanks for the useless comment!!
This made a huge difference. Thanks!
Excellent. Otherwise I might have pulled the whole WC out to replace the flush assembly. Smallest amount of debris there, but that was the cause of the problem. Good advice. thanks.
Well explained Thanks
Thamk u very much...u saved alot of money... ❤️
Thank you so much - I followed the instruction and fixed the issue.
thank you so much the video help me repair our toilet
Hello. My rental unit has one of these but the tank is much deeper than the fill valve so the cistern is not filling enough to properly flush. Does Glacier Bay make replacement kits with a taller overflow valve? Can I use an overflow tube extension? Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi guys the water still fills although i have cleaned diafram
You my friend is a life saver .
I'm on a well so I get crud all the time - sink aerators, etc - so no surprise the toilet inflow eventually became a trickle. Long story short, on my glacier bay there is a filter on the inlet that needed cleaning. Had to take the valve assembly out of the toilet to figure it out, but next time I can just remove the flexible water feed line and pull the filter out with needle nose pliers.
Thank's. Your video fixed my issue.
Really hoping you check your comments. This worked for what I need this but I think I did not put it back together the right way. The tank is filling up on its own but it’s just not stopping anymore. Any idea why that would be?
I think I did not keep the main pipe in place that you mentioned to hold while we opened the top up. Could that be it?
I tried lowering the fill valve but it pops right back up and the water starts running again
Thanks bro. This helped a lot!
