1-Test the Flapper
Push down on the flapper with a stick when you hear the water
running and listen for it to stop. If it stops, you know the flapper
isn’t sealing properly. Replace it. Check the fill tube length and cut
it back so it’s at least 1/2-in. above the water line.
2-Check the Fill Valve for a Leak
Flush the toilet and look for a fill valve leak. Lift up on the
toilet float arm when the tank is filling to see if the water stops.
Bend or adjust the toilet float arm so the tank stops filling when the
water level is 1/2- to 1-in. below the top of the overflow pipe. If the
fill valve still leaks, replace it as shown in the next photo.
3-Remove the and Replace Old Toilet Fill Valve
Turn off the water supply, flush the toilet, and sponge the remaining
water from the tank. Disconnect the water supply line, unscrew the fill
valve locknut and lift out the old fill valve.
4-Install the New Fill Valve
Insert the new fill valve into the tank according to the instruction
sheet and tighten the locknut a half turn past hand tight. If the fill
valve is at its maximum height, but the overflow pipe is still higher
than the critical level mark, shorten the overflow pipe with a hacksaw
so it’s 1 in. lower than the critical level mark on the fill valve.
5-Connect the Fill Tube
Attach one end of the new fill tube to the fill valve nipple and the
other to the enclosed angle adapter (shorten the tube to avoid kinks, if
necessary). Clip the angle adapter onto the overflow pipe. Finish the
installation by attaching the flapper chain to the flush lever as
described above. Turn on the water and test flush the toilet.
