Installing New Fill Valve

Place fill valve in tank. Make sure lid will sit on top of tank without
touching valve. Align fill valve nipple to face center of tank. Press down on
shank from inside tank while tightening locknut.
Hand-tighten only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over
tightening may crack the fill valve or tank causing
flooding. Make sure the float cup does not touch
the tank walls or tank lever and flush valve.
Attach one end of refill tube to refill clip. Place clip
on right side of overflow pipe. Attach other end of
tube to nipple on fill valve with a slight arch (See
drawing to the right). Cut tube as necessary.
WARNING: Do not shove refill tube down overflow
pipe. This may cause significant water waste.
IF FILL VALVE DOES NOT TURN ON, WILL NOT TURN OFF, OR WILL NOT REFILL THE TANK AFTER THE FLUSH
Adjusting Tank Water Level
• Remove top cap and check for debris. If you find debris, or flow is weak: Inspect lower section of fill valve for partial blockage. Partial blockage may be at shut off valve or in
water supply line (See "REMOVING THE VALVE CAP ASSEMBLY & FLUSHING OUT DEBRIS").
With water turned on, set float cup to
• If fill valve has been in use for some time and/or float cup does not drop when flushing tank, replace seal with a genuine Fluidmaster 242 seal (See "IF REPLACING SEAL").
IF FILL VALVE TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, OR IS RUNNING WHEN NO FLUSH HAS TAKEN PLACE
• This indicates the tank is losing water. The fill valve is refilling lost water. Clean flapper and drain seat. If leak continues change flush valve. Install Fluidmaster 507AKR, 540AKR
or 555C kit.
• Please ensure all steps were followed in "INSTALLING LEVER & FLAPPER CHAIN" section. Flapper needs to be clipped in to fall evenly on flush valve seat.
• Flush valve locknut may not be tight enough. Check locknut and use tools to ensure locknut is tightened 1/2 turn past hand tight.
IF WATER LEVEL IN BOWL IS TOO LOW
• Make sure the refill tube is supplying water down overflow pipe.
• Water level in tank may be too low. Raise water level to 1/2" below top of overflow pipe (See "ADJUSTING TANK WATER LEVEL"). You may have to lengthen the fill valve in
order to increase the water level in tank (See "PREPARING THE FILL VALVE FOR INSTALLATION").
• Flapper may be closing too soon. Give flapper chain approximately 1/2" of slack (See "INSTALLING NEW PERFORMAX™ HIGH PERFORMANCE FLAPPER").
LEAKING AT BOLTS AND/OR ON BASE OF TOILET
• Bolts are likely not tight enough or a step was missed in "INSTALLING TOILET BOLTS" section. Please ensure all steps were followed in "INSTALLING TOILET BOLTS"
section. Tighten bolts further until tank does not rock and leak stops.
LEAK OCCURS WHEN TOILET IS FLUSHED
• This usually means that tank to bowl gasket is not centered and seated properly. Please ensure all steps were followed in "INSTALLING FLUSH VALVE" section. Tank to
bowl gasket needs to fully cover locknut.
• Note: If you have a Gerber or Kohler two piece toilet, it is recommended you use a different tank to bowl gasket. Gerber: Use an extra thick Gerber gasket.
Kohler: Use a triangular Kohler gasket. (Both Gerber and Kohler gaskets not included).
