Simple and straightforward no-frill instructions. Thank you so much. 73 y/o woman on the job!
👍😎
Bless you sir! With your directions this 72 yr old woman was able to successfully replace the fill valve on my toilet. I am so grateful.
You’re welcome! 😎
Hey there old woman!! I too am old, 70 years plus 7 months old!! I am gonna try this in the next "what ever" days!! LOL😅😅😅😅😊😊😊 Thanks for your encouraging comment!! Pray 4 me!!!😮😮😮
Lol! Bet you're wallet will be too!
Omg you are done it so easy but I can’t do it 😢 it is leaking? Why?
Sorry… I’m not sure. Please make sure that the washer/gasket is installed properly on the bottom of the tube and the nut is tightened snugly.
Thank you! I was able to follow your instructions easily. My wife thinks I'm a handyman now :)
You’re welcome! Now go fix something else. LOL 😎
Great video simple explanation the best thank you
You’re welcome. Thanks for the feedback. 😎
The product description is very detailed.You're a professional toilet repairman.
LOL! I'm not even close to being a professional, but thanks for the kind words. 😎
Thanks so much! Clear instructions, to the point and encouraging, just what I was looking for in an instructional video. I've never done this job before and I was a little intimidated but I did it today after watching your video twice and best of all it works, no leaks and no more carting water from the tub to fill the tank! 😊🎉
Glad to hear it! Good for you! 😎
This was the best, most informative video I found. Many grateful thanks.🎉 Very well done instructions.
Thanks! 😎
I just replaced my fill valve but now my toilet overflows when toilet paper is thrown in it
replaced the valve. the water still won't shut off. wonder what the problem is? Flapper seal is fine.
I'm going to replace mine along with the chain. Do I need to replace it with the ball cock also? Mine has the ballcock. Its pretty old
The float won't disengage or engage, it will only do it manually. How can I fix that?
100 clear amazing video thank you
Great video. I replaced my valvue today and your video gave me the confidence to do it myself. and it worked! Thank you.
Thank You! so much for sharing your excellent video and instructions. You are a great teacher!
Thank you! Much appreciated! 👍😎
Thank you… my first time doing this at 68 and you made it easy! ❤
Glad to hear it! What repair are you going to tackle next? 😎

Thx for sharing
Does it matter about that tube curling, i.e. do you need to trim the tube so it does not create that loop and is more straight? Does that have no effect on the water flow?
Thanks!
Straight is okay if it doesn't kink the tube which would reduce water flow.
👍😎
Great video. I actually just replace the valve and left the base in the toilet.
👍😎
I love we have to use disclaimers.
News media and politics need them more than you. 😂
You never know 👍😎
Thank you!!! ❤
Thanks for making this video. Really helped me!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent, simple to follow instructions without annoying music! Thank you!
👍😎
Wonderful, easy, step by step instructions. You CAN do This!!!!
Straightforward and easy to follow. Thanks!
You’re welcome and thank you! 😎
Do you need to replace the flush unit at the same time as doing the fill valve?
No, the flush valve assembly does not need to be replaced at the same time. 👍😎
@@HacksbyDad Thanks man!
Thank you!
👍😎
Make sure to keep your washers and parts during the replacement process, some of these toilets require smaller pieces.
I did it!! Your video was beyond helpful. I've been dealing with this toilet for over a year and I got fed up. It won't fix itself so roll up them sleeves. Thank you for this valuable info. You saved me $$. 🤗🤗🤗
Good to hear! 👍😎
Thanks for posting. Simple and to the point. Professional plumbers must hate this video.
Thanks! 👍😎
Thank you for the simple instructions. I was really anxious about messing this up but you made it easy! God bless you!
👍😎
Thank You Thank You Thank You... I first installed the 400A. But noticed that the overflow tube was draining into the overflow pipe. But nowhere did I see any direction on whether to install the tube outside or inside the pipe....I installed it outside finally and it seemed to be working fine. But Thanks to your video, I now have confirmation that indeed it is supposed to be outside. Surprising thing is that all our toilets are installed with the tube inside and I can see water being wasted.
The refill tube is normally pointed into the overflow tube to refill the bowl. The following video explains when it is okay to point it outside the overflow tube... ua-cam.com/video/uMfD_utCahg/v-deo.html

Other online tutorial creators should take notes on your concise yet detailed delivery - very well done!
Wow, thanks! 👍😎
Is it ok if the water is more than 3 inches from the top of the over flow pipe? The water reaches the previous water height in the tank. I turned the water level. adjustment screw all the way clockwise to increase the water but it did not get any higher. I replaced the fluid master because I was hearing a whistling sound and I’m wondering if this contributed to my water bill increasing.
Is the top of the overflow pipe at least 1 inch below the tank lever hole? Here are the installation instructions and diagrams for reference... www.fluidmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/400A_RUBIK_Instructions_Eng%EF%80%A2Span_5x7.25_020118.pdf
You just saved a first-time homeowner a whole lot of money thank you so so much for the detailed yet simple directions
👍😎
Perfect video! I had to rewatch the locknut removal because I was trying to turn mine to the left to loosen it, I didn’t know left was to tighten on that thing 🤦🏽♀️😂 other than that I was able to follow and replace it myself! Who needs a man when I got your video! 🙌🏼😂 thank you!!!
👍😎
yeah lol lefty loosey righty tightly still applies, but since the locknut is upside down, its in reverse
I used your video to repair my toilet today. The valve wasn’t filling the toilet quickly so I watched this video, bought the appropriate valve assembly, and replaced it step by step along with you. Now it works perfectly.
Next problem is that the toilet isn’t using a full 6 liters per flush. The flapper valve is closing way too soon. I think the next project is to replace that assembly.
Thanks! Good to hear!
For your flapper, one of these videos might be helpful... ua-cam.com/video/Ts7jxxw8GuA/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/XFUXTV8lPic/v-deo.html
@@HacksbyDad I’m going to buy an adjustable flapper valve and replace the old one. But first I’m going to scrub out all the mold with your “one two punch” hack.
This whole series has been very helpful. Thank you.

Can any fluidmaster be used?
Is your existing one a Fluidmaster? Right now I see the basic 400A and premium 400H models in the stores. Both can be used in most toilet tanks. 400A can get the job done and 400H has a few more features.
Nice easy learning thanks
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome! 😎
thanks
👍😎
thanks mans
You're welcome.
😎
Very nice instructions
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😎
@@HacksbyDad had to replace two of these. The originals in the home only lasted four years before they made an awful fog horn sound when the fill was complete. Just finished and no more horn sound. I did just put a big towel under the tank hole and instead of soaking up the water from the inside I just let it leak out onto the big towel. Thanks again
