- Available at all Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Menards, True Value , Amazon and Do-It-Best stores. Also available at Home Hardware and on Amazon in Canada. Customers who bought this fill valve at Home Depot (U.S.), have given it a 4.7 star rating out of 5 stars while customers at Lowe's have given it a 5 star rating out of 5 stars. In this video, Jeff Patterson of Home Repair Tutor shows how easy it is to fix a running toilet or noisy toilet with the Fluidmaster 400H ® Toilet Fill Valve. It is the most quietest fill valve with the most powerful flush. The 400H comes with both tank and bowl water control for a more powerful flush. The adjustability of the bowl water helps newer, 1.28 gpf and lower flow toilets flush efficiently. Fluidmaster invented the fill valve technology back in 1958.

Okay, as 75 yo female, this was my first attempt at doing this. I bought the same unit in the video. Everything worked great, but on the third flush, the tank wouldn't fill at all. It was acting as though the water was off, but it was definitely on. I had to drain the tank again, took the unit back for a replacement (same model), and the replacement now works. I guess I can add plumbing skills to my resume!
I'm a woman, and I got this done in 10 mins. Thanks for these instructions. It gave me the confidence to run out and buy the product from walmart for less than $9, and I replaced it in no time. The old one was starting to take about 15 mins to fill the tank and I knew something was wrong. Now I'm back in business.
Same! Except I'm a dude
@@my_RS4 Awesome! Yay! 🥳🎉
Overall, this is a great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZ7xR4U1TX3HwZZ84K6KfzVTyrqxaZ3jZ toilet . A wax ring did not want to stick on the bottom of the bowl. I added a C200 Toto bidet. This is an outstanding combo
i bought my home, new, 20 years ago. I started having trouble with my toilet and determined the fault lay with both the fill valve and flapper. I have zero plumbing experience but, after watching your video, decided to try to fix it myself. I spent $25 on a new fill valve and flapper set and was able to remove the old fill valve and install the new one. It took me a lot longer than your video suggested but that was because whoever put the nut on the fill valve under the toilet must have been extremely strong. My toilet is only a few inches from my bathtub so I had to work on an angel and it took me about a half hour to get that nut off using plyers. Aside from that, the remainer of the install went quickly and smoothly. Finding your video convinced me to try to fix my toilet myself and saved me a couple of hundred dollars in plumber's fees. Thank you so much.
Hey 3 years ago did remodel in my house. Bathroom $12,000. About 6-7 weeks ago toilet started to howl. Timed it was like 5 seconds.. kept getting longer and longer up to a minute and 15 seconds or so. Called it the Chewbaka toilet from Star Wars. So today was the day to put in new float device. Did the normal stuff flush sponge out water. Started to try to loosen that plastic nut that holds the float device in. No way. The guys that installed had it on way way to tight. Had to take the tank off and go out in garage on work bench and take a hammer and screw driver to get it off. Temp above zero today so not to cold in garage. But bought the Fluid Master 400, installed no fuss no muss.. excellent product.. and Chewbaka is gone..
Craziest thing. I just installed my new Fluidmaster, and three days later it was hissing (water running). It had some gotten some large particles caught in the valve already. I cleaned it out and it's good as new again.
Thanks a lot for the video I'm from Comerio Puerto Rico I dint know how to do it a plumber wanted to charge me 100 dollars so I went to UA-cam and the first thing tha appears is you're video muchas gracias mi hermano
Excellent, concise video and the fill valve is awesomely designed. Especially noteworthy are the dual controls that readily allow adjustment of the fill tank water level and the toilet bowl water level. Thanks!
I’ve changed flappers before & it was a hit or miss even when it was the exact replacement. In this case we thought for the price of this kit $16 & this video, I’d try it & if it didn’t work then call a plumber $100 just to look at it.
The change out was easier than I thought although the flapper didn’t want to seat correctly. I took it off, put the old one on, matched exactly, so i put the new one back on & pushed it in a little then it started filling. I flushed several times to equal the same water levels in the tank & bowl. Very easy, wish you tube was around in the past I would have saved a ton doing my own changes. I’m going to buy an extra kit for our other bathroom to have on hand. Thanks for this video, easy and to the point!!
BOOM! Your video is so Fluid and Masterfully done...thanks!
Great video. Replaced a bunch of these since I was a little kid - father required me to learn when I was about 10. Hadn’t done one now in about 5 years. Good refresher. Took about 10-15 minutes.
Thanks! Worked for me :-)
Oh thanks! I've been dumping water with a pail into the tank (and sometimes the bowl so I know all about not dumping too fast!) but it LOOKED easy to fix so I wouldn't have to pay a plumber AGAIN but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to mess the whole thing up. But thanks to you and your easy-to-follow video, I think even a dope like me can fix this! *Thumbs up!
This was very helpful to us with zero plumbing experience. Thanks!
Awesome video, just picked up a new kit at our local hardware store and replaced my old hissing/runny valve!
Thank you !
Your instructions worked perfectly and your explanations actually made me LEARN something!!! 😄 Great job. Videos that are short and sweet like this are few and far between. I appreciate the work you put into doing it and all your other videos. 👍
Awesome video. The guys in our office used this tutorial to fix the office toilet in about an hour without breaking anything.
Thanks for the instructions. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.
I just installed my new Fluidmaster 400H-002 toilet fill valve. The hardest part was removing the existing fill valve. It was screwed on too tight. Instructions are super easy and video gave me another level of confidence. I feel so empowered!!! Thanks.
How did you manage to unscrew the old valve I am struggling .
@@mn6780 use some large pliers; commonly referred to as "channel locks".
Good instructions , took about 30 minutes from watching video to completing fill valve replacement.
@@rtz549 thanks for the tip. worked
Great instructions. Worked perfectly!
Great Video.I liked information you gave through pencil mark in bowl . Helped to save water .Thank you .
For anyone who is skeptical about tackling this simple repair don't be...when it comes to the directions they include with this package it's impossible for you to screw it up it's a few simple steps but they explain things thoroughly down to the detail only will take you about 20 minutes to do it and your toilet will run like new they didn't pay me to say this I just fixed my toilet couple of weeks ago I had went a month with the package sitting in the bathroom closet wish I would have done it sooner
Thank you! This video was extremely helpful to me! This is the 2nd time one of your videos have saved my DIY life 🤗
In an austere and refined style, of a cold and enigmatic beauty, your installation video intrigued and surprised me. There is no trace of commiseration, only an existential void where imagination is presented as the only possible liberating way of Flushing away the excesses of our past. Thank you, dearest Fluidmaster, from the remotest fillvalve of my heart.
You win best comment ever! 👏👏👏
HA..nice
Thank you .. just did my own diy - plumber wanted £70
I got the part which was £10 and did it my self.
Thank you
This was a great video to watch and learn. I will definitely share this video to the other guys.
Appreciate your feedback Mike.
Very to-the-point instructions, resulting in a repaired toilet and the quick end of what can often be a major, expensive headache. Thank you, sir!
Dude thank you so much for this video, it was super helpful
Thanks for posting this. It was a big help.
Excellent, great video thank you for making it. Just got mine done no problem with the help of your video!
Best demonstration thank y’all!!
Worked, thanks!
Excellent video! One of the most articulately explaned videos i've seen
Thank you this video helped me allot.
Awesome. This video helped a lot.
Best walkthrough ever.
Thanks for your instructios. They helped me a lot today.
Excellent. Thanks for the instructional!
Thanks that was pretty easy!
Good video 👍🏼💪🏼
Great explanation
I know nothing about toilets. Had issues filling for months on and off. Sister wakes me up in the middle of the night. Toilet won't stop running and turns out fill valve came apart. Mother bought a new one. It was this one, i followed the video and got it done! Toilet works again and it's quieter. Kinda freaky. One thing though: would have taken 15 minutes if the old valve was harder than expected to remove and the toilet is in a tight corner.
Thank you for this video!
Hi Jeff Patterson! Can I ask a question why do you be careful to pour the water in slow so it doesn’t cause the toilet to flush then the next thing you do is flush the toilet?? I’m just a little curious this is my first time doing this
Skillful work You have inspired me to work on my channel, thanks. 🐼
Thank you very much. Now I can poop in peace.
THANK YOU!
I measured from the inner floor of the tank to the top of the white tube, added three inches, and adjusted the valve to that length (from bottom of red rubber washer to top of valve)...That seemed easier than trying to triangulate.
Thabk you that was very helpful
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!
Fluidmaster strongly suggests not to remove the entire top part of the fill valve by raising or lifting the lock ring. This action can damage the valve or create other functional issues. In place of purchasing an entirely new valve (and throwing away the unused portion) we recommend replacing the Top Cap Assembly with our model 385. Replacing the top does not require any tools or replacing a water line, it is the safest way to repair the valve and because the top cap is universal it will fit 400 series valves including PerforMAX and older 400A models.
These things are made to sell.
Just replace the whole thing!
Don't bother replacing little rubber disk !
Just replace All!!
Stick masking tape with date on under lid for reference.
I purchased one of these and installed last night. It works, but I noticed during each flush, a few drops of water drip from the fill valves top cap AND at the bowl adjustment knob. Is this normal, or likely a faulty part?
This video helped me adjust the water level so this stops my leaky toilet
Thanks you just saved my life
Thank you
Thanks for saving me!
Thanks You this vídeo help me alot 👍👍
Good video
This video also Helped ME too. Thanks a bunch for this video Fluidmaster.
thanks dood
Troubleshooting note for toilet more than a few years (mine presumably 9 years), the toilet connector, the part from shut off valve to filler valve, may need to be replaced. My shut off valve was leaking when tightened and it turned out both filler valve and toilet connector need to be replaced to be leak-free.
Toilet connector was rigid and could not be reconnected properly.
The shut off valve did not need to be replaced
Can you tell me what wrong with my fluidmaster universal completed kit that the water rises up very slow. It takes at least 15 or 20 minutes before it rises up to the water level line.
Try this tip when the water is filling slow, remove the top cap and purge debris from your water line. This procedure can clear the water path and let water flow into the tank at its proper speed.

thanks done in 10 min, just a regular guy!
My previous fill valve had no fill tube, and my bowl water level was fine. So, my toilet doesn't require a fill tube into the overflow pipe. Can I re-position my Fluidmaster fill tube into the tank to reclaim that water that is wasted?
Yes you can. We also sell a restrictor to turn off the hose (model 215) and our newest Fill Valve model 400H-002 has an additional adjustment knob that allows you to turn down the water going into the overflow pipe.
I installed the fluid master as shown. Everything works fine except every two or three minutes the fill valve runs for about 3 seconds. I checked to make sure flapper not leaking. Any suggestions on how to prevent fill valve from intermittently running?
Fluidmaster recommends checking to ensure the refill tube was correctly installed. The tube should be on a clip held above the overflow pipe. If the refill tube is slid or pushed into the overflow pipe this could cause the refill tube to leak into the bowl. The second thing to check is the flush valve lock nut. Make sure you tightened the lock nut ½ turn beyond hand tight. For additional help or to speak with a technical services agent contact by phone, email or chat. Fluidmaster.com/support or 800 -631-2011.
When he shows what’s in the box, it’s different than what was in mine. My box (purchased at HD) didn’t contain anything other than the fill valve itself. So I went back to HD and had to look through 6 boxes before I could find one with both the instruction booklet and the white plastic nut (5 of 6 boxes didn’t have the nut). Now, in watching the video again, it appears that there is an additional piece that wasn’t in any of the boxes. Is that necessary? I don’t really feel like going back to HD and exchanging for another one where they’ve all been opened and pawed through by customers and have missing parts.
Thank you for reaching out to us and letting us know about your experience. If you could call our Technical Services at 800-631-2011 during the hours of 5:30 am to 5:00 pm PST we would be happy to go over the parts needed for the installation and would like to get some more information about the store you visited.
I have a low flow toilet with a low water level in the bowl. Can I use the 400H to increase the bowl water level?
The bowl water level adjustment screw on the 400H allows you to put more or less water into the bowl without changing the water level in the tank. To ensure your bowl can get more water or a higher level first raise the water level inside the bowl by pouring water into the bowl. Once you have reached the height you want wait 10-20 seconds. If the water drains down the new level inside the bowl is the most or highest level that bowl water can be set at. If the water stays at your desired level use the 400H to set the water in the bowl to the new height. For help or additional questions contact Fluidmaster at fluidmaster.com/support to email or chat with an agent or call toll free at 800-631-2011 to speak with an agent.

Very informative and easy to understand. The fluid master was making a hissing noise and water wouldn’t stop. Made some adjustments in the fluid master valve and now it’s working fine. A plumber would’ve charged me CAD 100 for a visit. TfS this on UA-cam
loosening the grey ring and separating the fill valve voids the warranty as the rubber rings inside get damaged and that will also cause the it to continue to fill
I turn off the shut off toilet valve and still water coming from fill valve. Is toilet shut off valve broken or fill valve?

I just bought one and inside the bottom of the tube is a solid white piece of plastic. Possibly a regulator? Should that be there? It looks like it wouldn't let any water up the tube.
Yes that white piece inside the threaded shank of the valve is a flow regulator and is also optional. You may remove it without damaging the toilet fill valve. The flow regulator will slow the fill time but it will also minimize any pipe knock within older homes.

Can someone/anyone explain to me how this model can give you "a more powerful flush"? I have three of these performaxs installed in my homes with the two adjustments. I can see how the valve for bowl can slow the rate of water when refilling which would lead to less water in the bowl but at max setting it would be just like the old series -without the valve where it would flow at max rate. So what this valve does essentially is slow down max flush when dialed down anything other than max. How is that helpful when your dialing back the bowl amount and how is MAX setting on the bowl and different than not having a valve at all??? It's not
Newer toilets use less water and need a faster refill time. The 400H allows you to speed up the bowl refill time without changing the water level in the tank to ensure you have the proper flush. If the bowl does not fill up all the way the bowl will flush slowly or not at all. This timing is important to maximize the flush power of the toilet.

God This fixture has been around since the 50's> I've had plumbers here, & no body could figure out why the toilet water i the bowl, was lower than the Hard water etched mineral circel that showed...That large Button is a #1 major improvement...Cause you can't see black on black print, ect, in the bowl dark & all, mines is under a wooden Towel/Supply cabinet, too, So this looks fantastic! Thanks! Saved this video..will try to see if I can adjust water height in the bowl for the 1,000th time!;) If the screw only goes so far this will prevent it, I believe..Thanks again Fluid Masters!
Thanks you for this video you make the job seem a lot easier this is the first time doing it and I got it done in 10 minutes
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 😷👌
Thank you! Very nice video..... 5 pissed off plummers.....
When I set the bowl height to the max allowed by the blue knob on the fill valve, the toilet refills very loudly due to the water pressure going down to the tank. Is there a way to decrease this noise?
The only way to decrease the noise without changing the refill knob is to turn down the shut off valve on the wall. By decreasing flow you should be able to decrease the sound. The more important question is why do you have the refill knob maxed out? If you need a faster refill it may be easier to adjust the flapper rather than max out the refill knob.

@@FluidmasterInc Awesome thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I have the blue knob maxed out because I want the bowl height to be increased. Could the flapper (it's a fluidmaster dual flush valve) be adjusted to achieve that?
@@zerosandones701 In most cases a dual flush valve that is purchased from a retailer as an aftermarket replacement are adjustable. However if the valve you have is a Fluidmaster and it came with the toilet then no adjustments are available.
I always change the water supply hose
Our Click Seal water supply line is The ONLY water supply line in the market with CLICK SEAL® - The “CLICK” let’s you know its SEALED! ua-cam.com/video/bl1Y9iod1zk/v-deo.html
I just swapped my old fill valve for this one, but this one won't stop running... It's a steady drip 😡 up and over the overfill tube

What if the red gasket isn't on the fill valve already?
If the red gasket or “Shank Washer” is not on the valve then simply locate the gasket and place it on yourself. The gasket has a tapered end and a flat side on the other end (bottom and top). Place the flat side up onto the fill valve threaded shank and slide to the top of valve until flat side comes in contact with the shank stop. For help with your installation please call Fluidmaster at 800 631-2011.
So I turned the screw all the way clockwise and the water level is still like an inch and a half below the overflow pipe. How can I fix that?
Make sure the fill valve is set so it stands 3 inches taller than the overflow pipe. If it is not then you will need to adjust the valve taller to increase the water level inside the tank.
It took my mom 2 days but we got it.. Thank you sir!!! May God bless you 🥰
2 days 😂 it took me 10 minutes can’t believe people don’t know how to fix a toilet
Nedina Xitlaly okay Mrs. smarty pants How about you drop off you number so you can help us out!!
Ere flores it’s just incredible how people get offended with one comment.. okay snowflake ❄️🙄
Nedina Xitlaly Nobody is offended ma’am.. stop being on my business
Ere flores it’s not hard to fix a toilet and “no one got offended” “okay ms smarty pants”
So, I have installed the flush valve and have turned the screw to raise it and the screw won't turn anymore clockwise to raise it, so how do I raise the body of the fill valve without taking out the whole mechanics and starting over (the water in tank is not coming up to the line).
I just replaced mine with this one easily but now my toilet runs a few seconds periodically. Does that indicate the flapper and seal is also bad?
Thank you for your question, it could be the flapper but here are a few things to look for A) if you have the refill tube shoved down or placed inside the overflow pipe pull it out and reattach to the overflow pipe using our refill clip. This will stop a siphon from occurring and stop the leak and B) Clean the bottom of the tank along with the drain seat that the flapper sits on, if you can’t get the tank to stop leaking with a new flapper then it might be time to change the flush valve.

@@FluidmasterInc Thanks, I replaced the flapper and voila! No more leaks or running fill valve. Thank you
So I got a weird problem which I am unable to find the solution for. After installing the Fluidmaster fill valve, water keeps filling bowl at intervals of couple of minutes. This happens even without flushing. Once again, it isn’t leaking but just filling the bowl in minutes interval. I feel like it’s wasting a lot of water to keep feeling the bowl from time to time. How do I fix it.
The valve noise you are experiencing is alerting you to water loss inside the tank. When the toilet makes a "Ghost Flush" it is turning on and off very quickly to refill water into the tank.
The #1 cause for a ghost flush is a worn flapper valve. I recommend cleaning the drain seat (the area the flapper is covering) and the flapper. If that does not stop the ghost flush replacing the flapper should stop the leak.
Here is the best option for replacing the flapper: ua-cam.com/video/PCl-kH7g_5w/v-deo.html
You’re awesome. I was able to replace the flapper valve and no more ghost flushes. Thank you so much!

no plumbers tape?
BUYERS BNEWARE: The Fluidmaster 400A has a major flaw. It takes 4 mins to refill your tank where the old style takes less than a minute. The issue is theres a white rubber stopper in the valve that you must remove for the tank to fill faster. Why did the company did this?? Stupidity?? yes. Some of us needs to double flush as first time around doesn't clean everything. It appear they added this stopper in newer models.
Thanks for this informative video. I get a ‘Whoosh’ sound from time to time. I just changed the flapper too. Just wondering!
The sound you are hearing is water draining from the tank and the fill valve replacing the lost water. If you can’t get the tank to stop leaking with a new flapper here are a few things to look for A) if you have the refill tube shoved down or placed inside the overflow pipe pull it out and reattach to the overflow pipe using our refill clip. This will stop a siphon from occurring and stop the leak and B) clean the bottom of the tank along with the drain seat that the flapper sits on.

What’s the difference between 400H and 400AH?
The 400A is a standard refill valve that controls the water in the tank, it controls fill time and water level. The 400H is a performance fill valve that also controls the water in the tank. The 400H fill valve has an additional adjustment for the water in the toilet bowl using an independent adjustment knob. The 400H can be adjusted to let more or less water into the toilet bowl without affecting the level of water in the tank.
Fluidmaster Toilet Repair Videos thanks. I am curious about 400AH though.
@@mytube2013 The 400H allows you to control the level of water in the toilet bowl which the 400AH does not allow you to do. The 400AH allows you to control the water only in the tank.
Fluidmaster Toilet Repair Videos On fluidmaster website, it says 400AH has roller clamp to control fill level in the bowl.
The AH does not come with a bowl refill dial instead it only comes
with a (Roller) clamp that restricts water to the bowl. The AH is taller than
the H version by 1 inch and comes with a regulator which tops the speed of
refill by 2 gallons per minute.
The H version our newest mode is more adjustable in that it has a
separate bowl refill dial that allows easier adjustment to increase or decrease
the amount of water going to the bowl, without changing the amount of water in
the tank. The valve does not have a regulator but a restrictor which allows a
faster flow than the AH version and can be as fast as 4 gallons per minute and
higher.
I don’t understand that blue .. water, bowl valve
The blue knob is a dial that allows you to increase or decrease the amount of water going back into the toilet bowl during the flush. Like the Float adjustment rod that allows you to control how much water fills the tank the blue knob allows you to control how much water fills the bowl.
What if fluid master 400 is running? 😅

just lovely if the below tank water connection and fill valve stem hole are easily accessible as shown in this video....but American Standard toilet tank we have was designed by idiots. and it took me 2 hours to "finger tighten" the stem nut under the tank and another half hour to attach the water line fitting. Rather than finger tighten I offer a single finger in appreciation of all design idiots. And I think you know which finger that is.

Of course he is replacing another fluidmaster valve. They only last a couple years. If you are doing a video to show how wonderful your products are , best not be replacing your already faulty product.
Lifespan in my city water 3 years maybe.
Instructions were decent but the pace of the video was too fast. I’d start working on a step and then the video would be about 5 steps further along. There’s a fine balance of cutting out filler and getting the job done, this was just a bit too quick
This isn't fixing. It's replacing.
This is not fixing the valve it's replacing the valve
He didn’t say he was fixing the valve. He said he was fixing a running toilet. And he did.
Garbage. Replaced 4 of them. The 4 leaked from the top.

Video was going way too fast to understand what he was talking about most of the time.
maybe your just a doofus
It seems that way but installing a fill valve is really simple. They come with instructions too. When repairing a lot of things, there's more dramatics involved than the actual work lol. Video was very good, he just moved a little faster. Watch a Korky instructional video. They're made by the factory and go much slower.
The video was great. Three visual in the video along with three written instructions were perfect. If it's too fast, you can just pause when needed.
