no corny music no corny intro. Thanks Sir
Glad you like it
Im 53 and a female, and I successfully changed my toilet fill valve with your video. Thank you so much!!!!
Great job!
Dear Tom....we have been waiting for my husband to do this for 3 weeks. Watched your video and it’s done! Guess who’s not going to be told we fixed it? We are going to wait to see how long it takes him to notice....thank you thank you thank you❤️
You are welcome and thank you for watching I think it’s always best to do it yourself because you can save money
Don’t be to hard on husbands. He’s probably exhausted from work
I already bought this fill valve and I watched 3 other RUclips videos where no one moved the camera to show you the parts. They just talked about what to do without showing you. THANK YOU FOR AIMING THE CAMERA AT THE PARTS!! I’m a lady I never did any of this crap! Needed the visual
Were you able to replace the fill valve with the instructions from here?
Girl,You and I both. Got this exact product sitting in a new box on my bthrm counter.
@@jhtrico1850 I want to know the same thing,lol. Have to do mine. I have the product I bought.
Has nothing to do with being a lady - plenty of guys have never done this, either.
Same here... doing this over my lunch break because my land lord is wanting to know why our toilet's not running and I've been freaking out about getting it done until I watched this video haha.
Thank You for the video it was so easy to follow. I'm a 65 year old female and I like doing things for my self. It took less than 15 minutes to do. I had no problems. I don't often send comments but I wanted you to know I appreciated your video.
Great job! Do it yourself and save money? Thanks for watching. And thanks for those kind words.
This guy needs the Nobel peace prize or Fields medal awarded to him, immediately
Thanks I appreciate that good luck on your install
Oh my gosh! For almost a year I have lived with a brand new Fluidmaster fill valve sitting on a shelf and my toilet acting all weird...going from running all the time to not filling back up after being flushed. I had watched I don't know how many RUclips tutorials, read the directions and still could not figure out how to change that thing. I was ready to just buy a new toilet and start all over.
This morning I thought I would give it another shot. Did a search and there you were, first result. I watched and thought it couldn't be THAT easy. That's not what everyone else did. Thy had like about 20 more steps in theirs.
But I did exactly what you said and it was like my son says...easy peasy, lemon squeezy! I was thrilled!
I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thanks man you saved my marriage
😂
So your say your marriage is going down the toilet. If you didn’t fix your leakie pipe.
🤣😂
Ong same
Wow 😯 smile 😃
I do maintenance everyday but just wanted to double check and see if there was an easier way.. dude you saved me like 10 minutes and now I can crack my beer 😂😊
Enjoy that beer
The best video I have watched - no nonsense, step by step, not assuming I know something already! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you. Just bought the exact replacement. Your video was to the point, good visual, and with simple instructions. Good job! 👍I salute you sir.
You got right to the point no corny music no corny intro. Thanks Sir
Thanks and thanks for watching
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Your video is beyond amazing and so straight forward. The tight shots of the actual parts showing what they are and how they work is incredible. You saved me 160.00! Fluidmaster should use you as their head corporate trainer!
This is an excellent video for someone, like myself, that has never changed a refill valve on a toilet. It was easy to follow, and worked out extremely well. Thankyou!
You're welcome! Good luck on your install
@@TomLeeman the install went beautifully. Thankyou.
@@darpjohnson excellent glad to hear that
Thank you sir! This saved me money and made my wife happy.
Glad to hear it thanks for watching
First time homeowner. This saved me from paying big bucks!. So easy.
Thanks for the tutorial!!
Excellent! I'm a 62 year old grandmother. Watched the video once. Installed it no problem!
Not great at home repair and was super nervous to do this (anything that could potentially lead to water damage freaks me out)! However, your video led me all the way and was step-by-step simple to follow and you used the camera to SHOW me what to do. You earned yourself a fan, Sir! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video I just fixed my grandmother's toilet today the leaky toilet was costing her about 15 extra dollars a month on the water bill that adds up she was so happy I fixed it couldn't have done it without your video you got a like and a subscriber in me Thank you so much.
Excellent glad to hear it eat yourself save money I know your grandma is very happy that you helped out thanks for watching and subscribe
This video helped me fix my own toilet'! I'm 69 years old and have been dealing with a broken toilet in one of my 2 bathrooms for months! I've had the fixtures for a couple of months but just kept putting it off. Fixed today, no leaks and flusing perfectly! Thanks!
Great to hear that you did it yourself and save money thanks for watching
If the toilet tank is slow filling or the fill valve won't completely shut off, there is typically no reason to completely replace the entire unit when simply flushing out the valve and replacing the toilet fill valve seal will suffice (part 242, toilet valve seal for Fluidmaster 200, 400 and 747 model fill valves).
You can remove the valve cap, flush out the valve body to remove debris and replace the valve seal in five minutes. It does not involve removing the fill valve from the toilet tank or draining the toilet tank. It is a simple repair of the toilet fill valve, not a wholesale replacement of the toilet fill valve. The seal costs around $2.00 and the instructions for replacing the valve seal including flushing the debris out of the valve body are on the package.
Fluidmaster also has short videos on how to remove the valve cap and flush out the valve body.
ALSO: you should adjust the refill tube so the water sprays directly into the overflow tube so it can fill the bowl. In your video, the water from the refill tube is hitting the edge of the overflow tube and spraying into the tank. Adjusting the refill tube so the water sprays directly into the overflow tube also eliminates a lot of noise when the toilet tank is refilling.
This video was great. My toilet was constantly running. I followed your instructions and now it is working perfect.
Thanks!
best video I found - others were way too long (18 minutes) or too complex - if you just need to change out the flush valve with another 400A, this is the video to watch. Thanks a lot for making it.
Thank you for showing the underside of the toilet. No one else showed the threads
ur welcome
Thanks bro, didn’t know how easy this was to do until I saw your video which did an amazing job explaining and most importantly showing how to do it. After watching your video went to Walmart bought the product and came home and did it in less then 20 min thanks .
Thanks for the video. It only took me 10 minutes to install thanks to you.
Thanks Tom, this was soo easy just like you said just be careful keeping something to catch the access water.
Very true!
My 10 year old and I followed your instructions and feel very proud of ourselves.
Good job it always gives you a sense of accomplishment when you do something and save money thanks for watching
THANK YOU being a single female this help me save money on paying someone to do it for me you expiained and demonstrated so well👍
hey hmu
Thank you for helping me when my dad wouldn’t!
My pleasure glad I could help
Thank you!! Trying to become more independent with household tasks and this was helpful and most importantly not to long!!!
All right do it yourself save money thanks for watching
I appreciate the upload. Fixed my toilet in under 30 mins without calling the plumber!
Glad to hear it do it yourself. Good luck on your next project.
Thanks for this video. Before I watched this video I thought it was going to be hard to do. But thanks to you it’s done with no leaks!
Thank you so much for this video! My mom and I got sick of waiting for my dad to do this. I figured we could maybe teach ourselves. You made it so easy! We got it done without any issues and now we feel like rockstars! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to do this.
Cool and congratulations on the new install I always think it’s best to do it yourself or at least try to thank you for watching
You just saved my day my friend! My fill valve went dead on me at 4am this morning and I’m waiting for the store to open right now! Until then, I’m taking my notes and this was the best help!
Thanks! good luck on your repair and thank you for watching
Thank you, great instructor, and commentary. Love the way you present your video! Nice, freindly and to the point!!
Thanks I appreciate those kind words
Thank you sir. Pro tip: if you have a super crammed space and cannot unscrew the plastic ring that secures the fill valve, remove the entire top tank from the toilet lmao😂 (had fun figuring this out)
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this video! I fixed my toilet and a friend's who had the same problem!
You're welcome!
Perfect. A visual demonstration of what to do is always the best. Much appreciated.
You're very welcome!
Thanks ! Great instructions, simple enough for me to understand it too ! 😊
Glad you got your toilet fixed. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for this very well produced narrated and shot video. I've done this before but I needed a refresher course and yours was perfect. And in a world of videos where people talk too much don't shoot it properly or just unintelligible your delivery and production here was just perfect.
Thank you for the kind words good luck on your install and thank you for watching
Super video, The visuals were very helpful instead of just talking about it. Thank you from a mother and daughter team trying to fix things themselves
Glad it was helpful!
Just did this for the first time for my neighbors since they’re away, thanks a lot so easy and cheap
Excellent glad to hear it. You’re a good neighbor always do it yourself. If you can you can save money. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, someone installed the seal on the outside of the tank. Was able to fix the leak myself
Excellent glad to hear it. Do it yourself save money
Hi!🖐 Mr. Leeman, I can't thank you enough!! My husband used to do this & I really wanted to tackle this on my own. I put furniture together no problem, but with plumbing I'm intimidated. The fill valve was leaking from the top, the rest was fine. I've had the part for 3 months but was nervous. After watching this I felt confident, did it, works fine, no leaks!! He (my ex) is going to be shocked I fixed this on my own! Now I can say..."what, like it's hard?". 😉 Thank you for making it clear & easy from another single female! 🙏🏻✌🏻
Way to go do it yourself and save ....
Very nice Video ... Very clear camera shots showing what you do... Thanks!
Thanks! 2nd pandemic DIY plumbing repair done. And this one is really easy since no special tools required, aside from a bucket.
Ur welcome
Hi. I just replaced my fill valve and your video was so helpful. I was done in about 10 minutes. Thank you!

Thanks. I got the same part and this guide you made helped a great deal 👍
Thanks for all of your guidance, wouldn’t have thought to shut the water valve off. Works just fine now
You’re welcome glad the video helped and thanks for watching
Thank you for keeping it simple and too the point. Very easy to follow.

You are so welcome glad I could help thanks for watching
Incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. You make it feel fearless for a single mom. I did it!!!
You can do it!
Many thanks. Your video was easier than reading the fine print on the directions.
U r welcome
Nice video. I always use thread tape in addition.
This was absolutely helpful! Thank you!
Pro Tip - These Fluidmasters are great but they still tend to wear out after a few years and you gotta replace them. If you're replacing the valve with the same kind of value, you don't have to bother taking the entire old one out and detaching the supply line. Just slide the clear plastic lock collar on the post up and then slide the entire top assembly up off the bottom post. Slide the new one on to your desired height, and push the lock collar back down. Then cut your fill hose to length and attach it to the flush tube. This would also be a good time to go ahead and replace the flapper with a Korky Plus to save future headaches. Done!
That's what I ended up doing since it was TOO hard to take it all out. The original plumber screwed in that sucker so tight.
Yep correct I've got a video on my page explaining exactly what you said
@@httmai it was dangerous for your plumber to screw that on too tight; it can easily crack the porcelain, and then you'd have to buy a whole new toilet
Brilliant!
@@ThomasEpps88 clutch. You video saved me 10 minutes and couldn’t of been easier.
Gr8 video...i needed a refresher course..so thank you
Thank you. I didn’t know it was that simple. I’ll buy a new valve tomorrow and install it 👍🏼
Good on you you can do it thanks for watching
Thank you Tom !!! This video is just what I needed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you, great video. Took me forever. Lefty loose..righty tightly does not apply..ugh, but I did finally get it done. All the single ladies love RUclips 🎶🎶
You can do it yourself for sure and save money if you call a plumber they charge you like 300 bucks to do that it’s ridiculous good luck thanks for watching

Great explanation, perfect to teach a simpleton like me. Thanks!!
Thanks glad I could help and again thank you for watching
Very helpful, thank you Tom
Legit help; was done in 15 minutes. Now I can fix all my toilets 😅.
thanks
Appreciate the guide on installing this valve! 😁
now to figure out how to install a new flapper😅
I have a couple videos on that I have repaired a number of different toilets and put in flappers and actually the whole toilet. If you check, there’s a couple videos on that somewhere I’ll see if I can find one for you and post the link.
@@TomLeeman I appreciate the response friend but I was able to figure it out I was just confused by the little upward hooks that keep the flapper in place like I thought you had to do something special with it but no I just had to force it out with a little muscle power, if that makes any sense haha yeah I got it done.
The only thing I'm actually having problems with now is that the toilet water supply line to one of my toilets is spraying out water that's coming onto the floor instead of going completely into the new valve I brought a fluid master 400 model btw. It's weird it didn't happen to the other two just this last one. Like I checked the valve and water is going through it it's just that some of the water's splatting out of the supply line as well I tried tightening it as much as I could but still happening weird.
I'm wondering maybe I should just replace the supply line I guess.
But again thanks a lot I'll definitely look around see if you have videos on that too 😁
@@TheTimon64 that’s interesting. I have to see it to figure it out. You may have cross threaded the Going into the water closet or the washer isn’t ceiling tight depending on where the water is coming from. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@TomLeeman hey friend I actually figured it out on another vid the guy talked about there being like a little black rubber cone inside of the supply line that goes up into the toliet .
somehow it came out of my valve when I was taking it out I guess, it was in the bucket where I put the old valve somehow it just fell in there thank God I found it lol
but I put that little black cone back in and that helped keep the water from spliing out everywhere so I'm all good now phew haha thx again for your help all done! Im my Mom's hero right now lol 😁
@@TheTimon64 excellent glad to hear you got her working
Very helpful video! Thanks!
Thank you! I’m a single mom of a 16 yr old “pre-handy” (but is on the honour roll) young man so we are both learning (but I’ll be doing it 😂.) This was really easy but the rotted gasket on the tank nut I was unprepared for! Orange water leak til I replace that so still no water in the tank!
Good luck you can do it thanks for watching
Awesome job Tom, thanks for sharing!
