Yeah, the whole track is boosted way too high. Clipping like crazy. It's just most noticeable on the kick because lower frequencies require more gain to achieve the same perceived loudness as higher pitched sounds. My guess is whomever produced this video just doesn't have a basic grasp of audio levels.
All in all, worth my time and aggravation. The aggravation had to do with removing the old parts, especially the handle. Installing the FluidMaster parts went smoothly, no complaints. I'd only think twice about doing the repair again if it was for the same toilet, which is in a powder room, where space is limited.
I have a K-4421 tank with 1112256 gasket. It's a Kohler but it doesn't have three gasket holes. I used K-400H-021 and the included black gasket only (after removing the three tabs). The locknut is holding the gasket on. I did not use the red gasket. Is this the right application? The manual didn't cover my tank.
If your Kohler toilet has a tank with 3 bolts then you don´t need rubber washer inside the tank with the bolts. The triangular gasket has 3 rubber tabs that will be compressed by the head of the bolt making them to go all the way down and seal at the bottom. Here is a link with a video that explains the installation in a Kohler toilet with 3 bolts (starts at min 3:18) ruclips.net/video/QfPEeDnz4tE/видео.html
Makes it look so easy! I hope I can connect my cell to the old lap top and watch this on the bathroom sink. Three plumbers with a long line of chatter and a little reading makes me think I am going go be scammed, so, will try this myself. And, if it works... there is the other toilet, just as old as the toilet with a cracked fill tube (temp repaired with e6000 and teflon tape). What I don't need is a "new" toilet with bad reviews and a plumber who talks faster than a used car salesman.
The cardboard ring is a Friction Washer and is used to help the lock nut turn when locking into the Kohler (black) 3 prong gasket. If you are not using the Kohler gasket then there should be no issue. If you are then you can substitute the friction washer with a little petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to help the nut turn while up against the black rubber.
I would put the middle bolt on if it is a three bolt first before putting the flush valve in because putting the flush valve at 12:00 position is the best…
At the start, before disconnecting the supply line, the stop valve was closed and toilet was flushed. So, the water level in the bowl would be below its usual level. Right? Fast forward to when the stop valve is opened (5:46). Would this have increased the water level in the bowl? Why would you mark the water level in the bowl at this time as a reference? Is it not incorrect? I saw another YT clip of a gentleman ensuring--with the stop valve closed, toilet flushed, and as much water removed from the bowl--that he slowly poured a gallon of water into the bowl and THEN marked that water level.
Thank you for your question. When the bowl water is turned on at the wall using the stop valve the new fill valve inside the tank starts filling both the bowl and the tank and because you are filling the entire tank the water in the bowl will overfill and then drain to its proper level. Marking the water at this point allows you to see if on a normal flush the water in the bowl rises to its proper or marked level.

I’ve looked high and low for the size of the hose that fits your fluidmaster repair kits so I can buy the correct one. Every website description and every video lists the size of the repair kit, but not one will tell you the size of the bottom size float vale hose size. I know it’s 3/8” at the shutoff valve at water supply, but is the other side 1/2”, 3/4”, or 1”?
All “Toilet Water Supply Hoses” sold by Fluidmaster will have a 7/8ths “Coupling Nut” on one end to connect to the “Fill Valve Threaded Shank”. Make sure when purchasing a water supply hose that it is labeled for the application it is designed for, for example, the water supply line should be labeled specifically for toilets.

Next time, try disconnecting an actually "old" tank & toilet, vs just a perfectly clean one, and get someone who speaks. Reading text sucks vs explaining "WHY" things work or don't. Tips & Tricks remove a TON of customer pain points. * Such as: if you have Kohler, do this.. If you have a Mansfield, you might see this instead... * Also might want to add something about how tight to make the 3 bolts, explaining tight enough and over-tighten there, not just water line & such.
I hate any tutorial that had no narration. What are you even doing and why? What product are you using and why? Which priduct do I need for my toilet. Not helpful at all.
If I were you guys I would use korky for the old parts especially to show how crappy korky is… korky shows fluidmaster as the old parts… but they should show their own parts as the old papers because the people of,korky is already dumb as is… Lolol screw korky fluidmaster is countless times better than korky
Thank you for your comments, having the flush valve offset from the bolt should not impact the flush and the flapper but more importantly will allow for the removal of the bolt and tank in the future to be easier. We appreciate your comments and have a help line available from 5:30 am thru 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday (PST) if you need help. Contact us via chat or email at fluidmaster.com/support or call toll free at 800-631-2011.
will never again purchase fluidmaster products as your only solution to missing parts in a package is for me to fill out a warranty claim and wait for a replacement. People need their toilets repaired asap, not in 7-10 business days. I’m out the money for your missing part and had to purchase elsewhere. Garbage quality customer service. I should be able to buy a replacement and get a refund from your company. Really nice scam you’ve got going on.
The bass drum has no business being this meaty on a toilet repair video LOL

LMAO!!!!! As a drummer this comment took me out because I was thinking the same thing. LOLOLOL
The original version of Beautiful Life by Antarcticbreeze sounds much better than whatever they did to it for this video in my opinion

Thank you so much. New home owner here and just replaced this with you help. I appreciate the video. Thank you.
You have a great product and I love you how the package caught 87% of all the water that runs out. 🦅
thank you!!!
i also read the written directions but the video helped a lot!

Ok so does the Kohler install require rubber seals on bolts? It seems like not...🤔

@@FluidmasterInc Thank you! This helped greatly. Never worked with a design like this, so was not sure!

How important is that cardboard ring? My kit was missing it; can I install without it, or should I return the whole kit over a cardboard shim?

If you are not using the Kohler gasket then there should be no issue.

Why? More water?

The Real solution to this problem is quit taking upper deckers in your toilet. You’re supposed to poop in the bowl.

The red tool did not fit. Fuck

I would seal it to the tank then put it on the bowl and anchor it to the bowl
