Fixing a Toilet Fill Valve | Fluidmaster 400A | fishbowlproduction

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have a different video where I replaced the seal valve but soon after I ended up replacing the entire Fill Valve assembly. You will notice in that video that I shared that a plastic part broke off and I had to hack it with a cable tie. That hack only worked couple weeks. Hoping you enjoy this video and it's helpful to you.
Please stay healthy and safe

    Thank you so much, instructions on the box told me absolutely nothing about what to do with the loose parts that came separate. Fixed my toilet in half an hour 😊

    Thank you so much. The instructions provided with the fill valve were useless to me, as were the 3 videos I watched before I found this one. It was extremely helpful for me, someone who is not good at this kind of thing.

    Thank you so much! I have no idea why this wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, on the website, or in on the diagram on the box! Not everybody is a plumber and gets the “no brainer” things. Again, thank you.

    Good visual instructions with proper subtitles for each section. Nicely done. Music a bit monotonous when no speech so volume tuned off. My fitting of this particular model with a plastic shaft instead of brass, had real problems of space in the cistern so had to use curved mole grips to hold the shaft whilst tightening cold feed supply which was not the lovely flexible hose you have in the video. Access to the area around a toilet is also not always so simple, so it is good to have a complete instructional video like this. Thanks and well done.

    I don’t usually interact on KZread, but I watched multiple videos on installing this unit, and none showed the valve in the water line that you shouldn’t lose, or exactly what to do with the red gasket. I followed the instructions as best I could and still had a leak, and your video showed me exactly why. Thank you for such an informative video! Definitely the best instructions I found as a first timer to doing any type of toilet repair. ❤❤

    5:15 the red gasket should either (1) be already installed onto the brass shaft when new in box or (2) have a hole so the buyer does not need a knife to produce a hole. I bought this model and returned it for the classic plastic shaft which was $6 less and already had the rubber gasket on the shaft. This brass shaft version is much more work and not worth the hassle.
