Thank you so much! The instructions that came with the replacement valve were daunting, but you made it a breeze! Saved my calling a plumber for an easy fix.
Thank you very much Mr. Merl. You made what started as a bad day a good day. The box said there was detailed instructions inside but there wasn't any instructions. I searched for the Kohler parts on UA-cam and by great luck, I found your video. I'm an accountant by trade and far from mechanically inclined. Your video saved me from spilling water all over my bathroom floor and allowed me to complete the task in 10 minutes (When I purchase furniture that requires assembly, if it says it will take 2 hours based on history it usually takes me 2 days so the 10 minutes is amazing). Thanks again!
Thanks very much.....your use of a bucket rather than a previous video I looked at showing SCOOPING OUT and SOPPING UP WITH A TOWEL is a lot easier and quicker method ........ I am not a handy person but this gives me some confidence......
Lol, yea that sounds unneccessarily tedious! It's a pretty simple and straightforward job, just make sure you dont overtighten things when u put it all back together again.
I just replaced my Kohler fill valve today after watching your video. It's been awhile since it was noisy and leaking my fill valve. I was afraid to replace before because plumbing is kind of difficult to do. Also plumbers are charging like 120 bucks and sometimes they don't wanna do small job. Thanks for sharing this video...
I literally just fixed this issue 2 mins ago with our brand new toilet. If you remove the cover for the floater arm, you'll see a pin that most likely isn't aligned properly in it's holes which creates friction so the arm can't go up all the way. I took pliers and yanked the pin out then realigned it properly and voila! It's fixed. No more friction on the floater arm so it fully rises now :)
hmmm. if it's a Kohler it could be a defective part. If it's a different brand it might have a different way for adjusting the height. make sure you're turning the bottom part clockwise and maybe pull on it a little bit as you do it... not a lot but just a little.
And now your toilet will fill 50% more slowly because of that gray valve you put on. I don't understand Kohler's logic of filling the tank more slowly as a 'water savings' measure. How does that work?
Yea I'm not sure what the purpose of those are... I just made sure to match it to whatever the original was. In general I think all of these water saving appliances are annoying because none of them work as well. And how much money is it really saving us?
@@KyleMerl Money saving = zero. I live alone but if I had to share a toilet with three other people, I think life would be stressful waiting extra minutes for the tank to fill. So I guess the purpose of the flow regulator is to make life more frustrating, right?
I did talk in the video a little but the audio sucked. I need to invest in a proper mic so I can capture audio better. If you're unclear with anything tho feel free to ask and I'll try my best to answer!
😅😅😂 dude, your going to help people damage their flooring. There are easier ways. PAY YOUR PlUMBER! Or pay the ultimate price. I have seen somebody cause $18,000.00 USD in damage from a little toilet part, that ruined a hardwood floor.
Watching a video is always the best way to understand. Thank you!
Thanks for that video. It’s short, to the point, and easy to follow.

Im glad my video was able to help you! No one ever wants to work on their toilet so I think should be as quick and painless as possible.
Thank you so much! I didn't need to wait for my husband to do this. I just bought the part & fixed it myself!
Glad it helped!

Thanks! Helpful.
Thanks so much!
After the tank filled and stopped......was there to be water up in the canister or should it be empty? Thanks
The tank fills up. If you're talking about the black part in the middle of the tank, i dont believe there was water in there.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Salutations and thanks.
Appreciate the video.

This is the second one for the basement bat. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
Thanks 🙏🏻
Nice one get the korky fill valve
How you take it out from the tank. Mines seem stuck even tho i un hooked it from bottom
@@daberry9159 for mine I just needed to u screw it at the bottom of the tank and it came right out.
I wonder if his wife knows he uses the cooking pot to collect toilet water?
It gives chicken soup a unique flavor
@@KyleMerl “a bit nutty” - Austin Powers
Is the valve adjustable? My moms tank keeps running unless i pull thw valve up a little when its full ?? Anyone that can help is appreciated
Yep I believe you have to twist it to adjust the height. At least that's what I had to do with mine

@@kthewhite7453 thanks for sharing that! That's annoying that you had to do that with a new toilet though.
Yo man.. did you use a cooking pot from the kitchen to drain the tank?
Yep. Gives chicken soup a little extra flavor
thanks!
I twist mine to try and match the height and nothing happens. The two parts turn but the height doesn’t change
hmmm. if it's a Kohler it could be a defective part. If it's a different brand it might have a different way for adjusting the height. make sure you're turning the bottom part clockwise and maybe pull on it a little bit as you do it... not a lot but just a little.
Great video ,quick! Not talking to a fifth grader. Lol I appreciate it big time
Hope it helps!
That's gonna be some tasty soup 😂
It's the family secret ingredient, don't tell anyone
He was twisting the old one.

But at least its quiet 😄
@@KyleMerl Yes, I noticed that, too.
Good soup
People often ask me what the secret ingredient is
maybe a little talk???

No flooring was harmed in the making of this video.
@KyleMerl I understand, 👍 but your just giving out the recipe!
Awesome Video!
Thanks!
