The part listed above fits most toilets.
Learn step by step how to replace all the inside parts of your toilet to insure that it will work properly for years to come. This tutorial features the Flowmaster All-In-One toilet repair kit.
Also, in the directions it says that you place the washer onto the fill valve and then put it in the tank and then install the lock nut underneath the tank. I think that you were saying to put the washer under the tank with the locknut.
THANK YOU! This video was extremely helpful! Scott was so easy to follow and understand. He truly goes step by step and I was able to successfully follow him one step at a time and changed my toilet out by myself! My first experience doing anything like this and this video made me feel like I could definitely take on this project- Scott was right! Thank you thank you!!
Awesome! Good on you
Thank you! I just got home with this exact replacement kit. Your video popped up first!
Very helpful vid with one HUGE exception. You state to put the shank valve washer goes on underneath the toilet when it goes on BEFORE putting the fill valve in. Now I have a big mess and have to take it apart again.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I'm a stay-at-home mom and I watched your video step by step and did finished the project all by myself!! I'm so super proud it's kinda funny! I ran into a couple snafus. My handle is on the side so the new handle didn't work, but I just used the old one for the time being. Thanks again for taking the time to make this!!
That's awesome! Great job
Thanks for a clear set of instructions. I watched your video a couple of times and I followed your instructions to "a" letter to install my FluidMaster. Unfortunately, our toilet is very old, difficult to access with frozen "rusty" nuts/bolts. These are the additional steps that I used to deal with my troublemaker toilet. 1. Turpentine worked better than rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover to wipe out residual old hardened rubber. If you do not wipe out the old rubber completely, it will cause leakage. In some parts that the rubber had hardened, I used my chiseling tool (similar to what doctors use to remove casts) to get it cleaned out first before turpentine. 2. I also used the same chiseling tool with a metal cutter to cut the "rusty" frozen bolts. 3. At some point you cannot tighten the bolts with a screw driver from the inside of the tank and the nuts from the bottom side are very difficult to access and manipulate. SOLUTION - The bolts in a toilet are long, so a TALL rachet/socket (1/2 inch) set will let you tighten or loosen the bolts easily using one hand from the bottom of the bowl. 4. A wet-vac came in handy to get all the residual water out of the bowl. Good luck.
Awesome tips for older toilets! Thanks
Thank you for this straightforward video! A lot of the other videos I watched just made this repair seem overwhelming but I was encouraged to try it after watching yours! I did it! Saves me from calling in the plumber!
Awesome! 👍👍
Well done son! best practical demonstration I've seen yet! I'm going to go make my own video! wish me luck 👺
I did it!... And it's because of this most complete video and instruction. I changed all the pieces of my toilet! And I'm very proud!! I didn't have the same kit, but it works perfectly. Thank you so much for this!!
Yeah man
Really nice tutorial. I would like to add a few more comments that may help people. First. Know where your main shut off valve is on your house. ( it usually is near the front spigot outside). If your ‘tis 30 years old or older the toilet shut off valve may fail. This is quite common. Test yours first. If you shut your valve and water still comes into the tank, your valve has failed. ( approx 50%) fail. Buy new valve get the 1/4 turn valves. Hope this advice helps some of you.
Excellent points
Great video! Very thorough, and very much appreciated for single mom's like myself, God bless!💐☺
You made it look so easy! I am now confident I can do this myself. Thank you for explaining everything in such detail.
You never know until you try :-)
First step: read the actual instructions! I bought the same kit, and some steps are glossed over in this video. Like cutting down the overflow valve. Or that Kohler toilets need a special gasket that isn't included.
Thanks Scott, you made the whole process easy with your step by step procedure… I think I can do it now….
This guy is great! Not handy at all but followed him to the letter and VOILA .... it worked! Thank you!
Awesome!
Excellent video! Never have replaced toilet parts. Easy with your help. Many thx!
Your welcome
I have never done a complete rebuild. Your video walked me through the whole process. Thank you!
Thank you for an outstanding, detailed presentation.
Great job!👏🏼
Great video. Never did this before so I watched it a couple times, bought same kit and finished the job in less than 30 minutes.
Now thats what im talking about!
Have leak, and seemingly it has been an issue for a while. We lose water out of tank to below an inch if water valve is turned off for a few hours. Our toilet is 20 years old. So looks like we do need to replace all of the innards. Will have a friend do this. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
You have a gift of teaching and explaining things, Mr. Casteel. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Here's my teachings on the Bible

Thanks for sharing..I just installed mine today, got the same exact kit from Home Depot for $19.99 , $5 cheaper than Amazon.
4u25out awesome 👍
I am also finding that the stores are charging less than Amazon for many things.
Look no further. This excellent tutorial says it all!
Thank you for the excellent instruction. My friend and I did it well. The hint of undo those stuff with simple tool helped us a lot. Great. Thank you.
Your are very welcome!
I did both of my 10 year old toilets that had different problems in less then an hour. I have cheap toilets and these are a nice upgrade.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the step by step. Did it in about 1 hr 45 min... i was very careful.
Living Simply awesome!
Awesome video , I was able to do this by myself for my mother . Triple thumbs up !!!
Awesome 👌
Very helpful video. There is now a fluidmaster universal kit that includes the tools.
I finished mine before you finished the video thanks for the help 👍
Feeling pretty proud of myself right now...I did this all by myself. Great video! Easy to follow and made the project less intimidating. Two notes:
1. The rubber washer goes INSIDE the tank on the valve mechanism - found that out from other comments and saved me from learning that the hard way.
2. The red rubber gasket that connects the tank to the toilet that comes with this universal kit might not be right for your toilet. I had to run back to the Home Depot to get the right one for my toilet. There’s another helpful video about this in UA-cam.
But the process was super helpful.
I'm confused as a couple of people have mentioned this. Is that the red rubber thing. Or what are you referring to. I don't want to have to ask my brothers.
Do you have a link to other video or name of the video?
good video. followed the steps and all went well. had a couple minor issues but all good
A really educational video. Thanks for explaining so systematically and clearly.
Thank you
Definitely helpful. A few things in the video got overlooked about the installation, but the instructions spelled them out.
Thanks. This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen.
Thank you
Thank you for this video. Now I can replace everything for both my toilets.
the rubber washer on fill valve goes inside tank you have to adjust the fill valve so it is right height with the tank
Terrific video. I was able to successfully replace my flapper mechanism and save hundreds . Thanks so much!
Awesome! Feels good to save money!
Thanks! My son and I were able to complete the entire replacement with you.
Yeah! 👍👍👍
Great tutorial, Scott! I live in Mexico, and in our city, the water is HARD, and I mean the gypsum sticks to everything, and there isn't much you can do about it, so I need to do this more often than you think. The great thing is that the whole shebang only runs $8 USD. And the labour rate you quoted is about 4,700 Mexican pesos, so that is about 21% percent higher than my monthly rent ... HAHA!!! Again, thanks for sharing! You got a LIKE and I subscribed for other things you're doing. Take care!
Awesome! Glad it helped
@@scasteel Especially because the bolts supplied with the kit were short, so your "recycling" the previous bolt seriously helped the situation. The part about balancing the float as well as the water level in the bowl was another plus! $250 bucks, eh? WOW! Took me TWO HOURS - but that included going to the store, cleaning everything, and then the assy. Thanks again!
Thanks Scott for the awesome video. You were very thorough and did a great job explaining each step. Made me feel super accomplished when I fixed our running toilet!
Awesome. You are now youtube certified 😊👍
LOL. Why yes, yes I am! 🤓
have not tried it yet but convinced i can do this myself (female, middle aged, no handywoman skills).
Yes, you go girl!
Thank you! Awesome instructions!! Helped me to figure out my toilet running problem.
Your welcome
You did an outstanding job explaining the repair so it was very easy to understand and follow. Thanks
Very thorough and informative tutorial.
Thank you
Thank you! me and my bestie followed your instructions and it worked beautifully! only issue we came across was the lugnuts wouldnt loosen. We ended up sawing them off lol besides that i was able to do everything !
Awesome!
finally found a good simple explanation with tools I have. Thank you, hombre. good job
This was great... worried as I never did it before. But 1.5 hrs later my toilet fills by itself and works like new. Thanks...
Small variations to my toilet, but worked all the same. Thanks for the help. I didn't want to call at plumber and spend $200+ for something I know I could do!
Awesome! That's what I'm talking about!
Best video on how to do this that I've seen.....
Wow! I had NO idea. Guess what I'm doing today. I have 2 toilets, 2 replacement innards. I HAVE TO get 1 done. Surgery in 4 days. 🤞 Great video. Thank you.
You can do it 👍
Great video, great product. Bowl filler/ overflow tube should be below the handle! If the float sticks for some reason you are going to flood! I trimmed mine with a Dremel when I was done or you can use a hack saw before assembly.
Thanks for making it simple to understand and save us money.
M Rowser your so welcome
Your video was very helpful appreciate you and if I knew it away I would I would brag on you for the rest of my life thank you thank you thank you thank you sweetheart thank you
You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you
Great job. One DIY I hate... You may want to change the title to Fluidmaster and not Flowmaster. I was searching for purchase and realized the difference. Great Vid.
Nice design, works well and very easy to set up.
Thank you. It took me 3 hours but I got it done!
Awesome!
Very detailed! Thanks for additional explanations.
thank you for the extreme details. excellent instructions and video.
Your welcome
Good video in route to Home Depot replacement for toilet
You go!
I just wanted to inform you the washer goes inside the tank with the fill valve installation, not out side tank ..but overall good video just finished installing my kit without leaks.
You are a saint! Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial.
Your welcome
Thank you so much !!! We got it down past very informed video
The video is very complete. When a flush handle is removed, it is important to note that to loosen the nut, it must be turned clockwise rather than counterclockwise as most nuts are. The video shows this but wasn't mentioned.
It has lefthand threads
Gasket for fill valve goes inside the tank! not outside underneath..
Yes
Yeah we had the directions to install the same big dash exactly the same unit of replacement toilet it works on the inside of a toilet tank and a directions to take the tank off and all this but you know you made it so much sense for idea what no you have t
Good repair Technique.
Good photography.
Good Sound (howja get no echos in a bathroom?).
Thank You.
I subscribed.
This is very helpful! Thanks for making the vid.
Karen Browning glad it helped
I noticed that the thread attaching the handle assembly to the tank is a left-handed thread. I found that out too when actually doing this replacement job.
Interesting ... that's the torque direction. Bike pedals work on the same principle.
Awesome! Thank you, Scott Casteel :)
Your welcome
I think the repair kit is called Fluidmaster, not Flowmaster. Otherwise, the instructional video is pretty good.
Thanks for doing the video. Very helpful!
👍👍 your welcome
Thanks Scott. Very very helpful!!!
Cindi Barber awesome to hear from you
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, with your video I did it!
That's awesome
@@scasteel I just have to add you did say to put the washer on the outside of the tank on the intake pipe. I returned to find it leaking. Luckily only had to repeat the last steps but you should change your video. :(
Amazing Video. Thank you so much for this.
Good Video. I've been meaning to do my little bathroom - valve system for a long time. I usually watch a bunch of these videos - to get myself "pumped up" to do these tasks. BTW - whats the " I will not let them suffer alone" wrist band ?
It is a wristband in support of the persecuted Church in the Middle East. Hundreds of thousands of Christians are being killed a year for their faith but it goes unreported.
Oh thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I’m definitely going to fix my toilet now. Evan a cave woman can do this.
Thank you! Saved me today!
thanks for the helpful video i love your soul patch, you remind me of shaggy
Your welcome sccuuuubbbyyy rubbbeeee ruuuuuu
missed some bolts and washers on the bottom of the tank, but still appreciate the video. thanks
Ohhhhh myyyyyy!
Yeah, I know that this is an old video, but I sure hope that others caught the major error here and don't install the shank with the shank washer on the BOTTOM OUTSIDE of the tank like was done here.
That shank washer does NOT go there! It goes on the shank with the beveled side into the hole (from inside the tank).
The nylon nut then goes on the bottom of the tank and literally touches the Porcelain.
The way it was done here had that nylon nut hanging off of the shank washer which destabilizes the shank and WILL cause leaks at some point!
.
Anyone can check the instructions right from Fluidmaster.
It's shown clearly. As well, videos from professional plumbers, who uses Fluidmaster valves, show how it's done right.
Honestly, I'm surprised that this video wasn't corrected and reposted.
*Please, don't just believe me. Go to Fluidmaster's site and look at the instruction sheet.
I can't get the locking nut off underneath the fill valve piece. Any suggestions?
see if you can take a flat head screw driver and tap it with a hammer.
@@scasteel thank you
Thank you so much for this, Scott!! I figure if I'm going to pay a plumber, I may as well roll the dice and break it myself first. 😁
It is amazing what you can do after watching some instructional videos on UA-cam. I am redoing both of my bathrooms down to the studs and all I've done is watched UA-cam videos.
@@scasteel Holy crap, it worked like a charm. THANK YOU! 😁
Clear, clean video, Scott. I did okay but I have a small leak coming from the bolt that connects the tank to the bowl. I'm bot sure I have the correct arrangement of metal and rubber washers. Inside the bottom of the tank, I placed the bolt with a rubber washer. At the bowl where it connects to the tank, instead of just a metal washer and nut on the end of the threaded bolt, I also included a rubber washer. But I'm thinking the extra rubber washer at this point is the problem. I have a picture of it, but don't think I can send here. Any advice certainly appreciated.
Tighten it more
Owen Cowan my question was almost two months ago. I long since fixed the issue but thanks.
thank you. i did this today!
The rubber washer goes inside the tank for the water supply..otherwise it leaks. Found that out the hard way
Georgia Peach r
Yes I agree it happened to me finally installed the washer the correct way.
I saw this and was like DANG IT!!! Glad you posted it though. I went back and made the adjustments
Good video but he needs to address that
Thank you
very helpful, thank you
very very good job. thanks.
Lettie Kelly your welvome
Thanks for the help
thankful your helpful video, recently I change a full set of the toilet, It seems perfect, but the flushing power of water on the flushing is so weak that a piece of toilet paper cannot flush away although the water level is set at the max height and no obstacle on the flush way. I am looking for your suggestion. Thanks
The toilets flushed normal before the rework? In other words it is a good toilet design?
If only tank bolts were that easy to remove
Good job! Thanks
it is not necessary to turn the water off at the outside shutoff in order to replace the supply line. The sutoff valve under the tank will shut the water off at the valve and all you need to do is unscrew the supply line at the shutoff valve and replace it with the new flex line.
Great video. Unfortunately it keeps leaking from where my supply line meets the fill valve. Not sure how much tighter I can make it.
Is the rubber gasket in the connector? Perhaps some Teflon tape?
Great video
In the directions that come with the kit, there is another rubber washer that gets put under the tank with the metal washer and the nut on each bolt.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video except at least in my toilet, you put the rubber gasket on the float tube before you put it through the hole on the bottom of the toilet so gasket is in the toilet not under toilet. Once I figured that out, no leaks
Kevin Stuer yeah each toilet is a little different.
Thank you 🙏
Your welcome. Feels good to save $200.00
Awesome video!
