I'm so glad theres text all over the video. Why do I need subtitles? Default that crap off. It's blocking the stuff people need to see. Fortunately, the cameraman actually shows the work, instead of over at Ehow where the idiot is filming the guys face and a white wall the whole time...

put this all in one video you greedy motherfuckers.

I'll be damned. I am so NOT a home improvement person...I just changed the flush valve in less than 10 minutes. Thank you for saving me the house call to a plumber!

I just replaced the fill valve on my toilet this week. And the fill valve I replaced had the ballcock and I replaced it with a hydroclean Water saving fill valve and the one I bought also has a float cup built into it. And the hydroclean also has a tube rigged from the bottom across the tank so the hose fills up also. It does sound different when flushing but I like it.

Hey, how about showing us how to remove the nut? I cannot get mine to budge and am not sure which way it should turn. Just another useless video.

[MrWill1985]

@brianjlevine You turn the nut counter clock wise to remove and clock wise to place back on. Thats the same with alot of nuts and bolts on a toilet. Except the flush lever which is the opposite. You may or may not need a wrench to install the fill valve. I did need one to remove the old fill valve but not on the replacement fill valve.

@brianjlevine you seriously need someone to show you how to remove a nut????? yeah....blame the "useless video"....moron.

My replacement Fluidmaster 440A has always required two flips of the handle to flush and re-fill. What do I adjust to eliminate the need to hit the handle twice? The first flip causes the flush. But, I have to flip it again to get the unit to fill. Help!

box store?..

[EvendimataE]

if your defectiveis fillvalve is fluidmaster, check first their website if they have a replacement part for the model thats in your tank so you dont have to remove the whole thing. the replacement part i think is not available in stores like walmart or home depot. im glad i checked their website and found out there is such a replacement part...very easy to replace...less than 3 minutes and no tools required

When taking the old fill valve off, if you spray the shank & nut well with WD40 and let it soak about 30 minutes, it should be easier to remove.

This guy's other video also said to turn bolt on the fill valve shank counterclockwise when removing the old one. WRONG. Turn the bolt clockwise to remove the old one. You could damage the tank if it's tightened too much.

when taking the old fill valve out .. heres a trick I learned the hard way

take it apart enough on the inside ... and grab the nut underneath then turn the fill valve like a bolt... to loosen the nut on the bottom

instead of fighting to get under there ..(like i did for 20 min)

Thank you very much for your very detailed "how to" instructions, you saved me time, money & aggrivation. My family thanks you also.

Just some advice on these types of videos. Number them. Yeah certain video sequences are obvious of course, but it helps in choosing them from the list on the right. Thx for posting this though!

What about the shank washer? When does that go on and how?

[passionwink]

The shank washer goes on the shank right before you put the fill valve in the tank. It will be on the inside of the tank when you are done.
