    I've been installing them for over 20 years. The only nut I tighten with a tool is the nut on the stop valve. I've seen these plastic nuts crack and flood homes so hand tighten and let the rubber do the work.

    Hay smart guy make sure you adjust the height of the fluid master so it’s high enough to be able to flush toilet and don’t have too high if and whenever if the washer goes bad and it keeps running and water runs out of the whole of the trip lever

    Turn off the supply valve, and then flush the toilet before taking out the old fill valve. Way less water will be in the toilets tank.

    You removed a fill valve with a brass shank It should be installed new with a brass shank and change the supply to a supply that has a brass nut to go up against the brass shank it's the best job you can do

    I did a,house referb everything new with 22mm pipework and increased flow rate from the street.After a few months my tenant changed my new toilet system for one of these without permission. When I found out I changed it and put back to the origional and told them all I've done is open up the valve restriction on the toilet.

    Never use the same water supply. Always change the water suppy. Its like $8 and not worth the risk. The plastic nut on the supplies weakens over time.

    This is way too much information to put into a video that has to be one minute or less. This should have never been a short!
    It would have been better to just make a video doing the information justice, than to go the route that appears to be seeking more clicks for revenue.
