Well folks, this is a pretty straight forward lesson on how to install a toilet re-fill valve. In fact we’re going to cover a modern style plastic flush valve with a self-contained float.

These valves are readily available from any big box store as well as plumbing supply houses.

FYI the one in the video is from a company called Wolverine Brass who only sells to professional plumbers.

A couple of things to keep in mind are:

1. Always shut the water supply off before you attempt to do this.
2. Before you install the new valve, you want to adjust the height of the valve to the proper height.

I like to keep the top of the valve at about 1 inch below the toilet tank and I can always fine tune things from the float adjustment screw.

I try to keep the water level at about 1 inch below the overflow tube as a general rule of thumb.

Don’t forget to set the locknut on the valve body before you set it in place.

Trust me, it’s not going to be pretty if you miss this step, I’ve learned the hard way.

That valve will shoot right out of the tank and hit the ceiling, cool to look at but you better have plenty of towels and a mop handy.

HAPPY PLUMBING!
