Fluidmaster Flush 'n' Sparkle™ Toilet Bowl Cleaning System is recommended for those
choosing to use in-tank bowl cleaners and WILL NOT VOID the FLUIDMASTER
WARRANTY because it will not damage tank components.
Because drop-in cleaners used in the tank can result in damaged tank
parts (see WARNING above), Fluidmaster recommends the use of
Flush 'n' Sparkle™ Toilet Bowl Cleaning System (Models 8100, 8200
or 8300). It cleans the bowl without harming tank parts by isolating
the cleaner from the tank water, releasing it only to the bowl where

"IN"
Diagram 2
1. Shut off water supply to tank. Flush tank and sponge out remaining water.
Remove old fill valve assembly, tank ball, and wire guide unit (or flapper),
using pliers if necessary.
2. If you have a Fluidmaster bowl cleaning system, carefully disconnect
Diagram 1
the tube from the FILL VALVE. Do not disconnect the tube from the
dispenser (if you don't have a cleaning system, continue to Step 3).
3. Disassemble small parts – LOCK NUT, SHANK WASHER and ANGLE
ADAPTER for VALVE installation (required); CONE WASHER and
COUPLING NUT for water supply connection (optional–see Step 8).
DO NOT
4. Carefully remove CONE WASHER from center of SHANK WASHER. Place
MOVE
SHANK WASHER on THREADED SHANK of new VALVE. Place flat surface

against VALVE.
5. When installed, the CRITICAL LEVEL MARK on the FILL VALVE
(identified by a C.L. mark on the Fluidmaster FILL VALVE) should be at
least 1" above the top of the OVERFLOW PIPE. This is a plumbing
code.
6. To adjust the height of the FILL VALVE, twist the THREADED SHANK in or
out of VALVE body. The height of the VALVE adjusts from 9 to 14 inches.
On some models, a clicking noise will be heard when adjusting the height.
This is normal.
7. Position VALVE inside tank. Push down on the VALVE SHANK (not the
TOP) while tightening LOCK NUT. Hand tighten only. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN or tank may crack. Make sure FLOAT CUP does not touch
toilet tank walls, trip mechanism or FLUSH VALVE.
8. Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connection you
have from the chart on the left and use the appropriate assembly parts
required to properly reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's
LOCK
putty to seal these fittings.
NUT
9. With correct WASHERS in place (see Step 8), tighten COUPLING NUT.
Hand tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. CAUTION: DO NOT USE
COUPLING
NUT
CONE WASHER WITH PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
10. Clean drain with a soft cloth. Snap ADAPTER RING away from FLAPPER.
Align FLAPPER over mounting ears located on base of OVERFLOW PIPE.
Center FLAPPER over drain opening. Snap to mounting ears by pushing
WATER
down on the rigid frame near mounting ears. FLAPPER should open and
SHUT-OFF
close without binding.
11. ADAPTER RING FOR 1" OVERFLOW PIPES WITHOUT MOUNTING EARS.
If there are no mounting ears on base of OVERFLOW PIPE, install
ADAPTER RING: 1) Position ADAPTER over top of OVERFLOW PIPE and
press down until it expands and slips over the outside of the OVERFLOW
PIPE. If the ADAPTER will not slide down OVERFLOW PIPE, remove
spring, slip ADAPTER around the PIPE and replace spring; 2) Slide
ADAPTER down until it contacts base of OVERFLOW PIPE. Position
spring clip opposite the drain seat. NOTE: If OVERFLOW PIPE is brass,
use steel wool or wet/dry sandpaper to remove excess scale from PIPE
prior to installation. If OVERFLOW PIPE is larger than 1", Model 555C can
be used.
12. If you have a Fluidmaster bowl cleaning system, re-attach tube ("IN") to
FILL VALVE NIPPLE (see Diagram 2). Be sure toilet tank flushing
components move freely (if you don't have a cleaning system, continue to
Step 13).
13. Remove and discard overflow pipe cap if present. Attach one end of black
REFILL TUBE to ANGLE ADAPTER and the other end to NIPPLE located
near top of VALVE. Attach ANGLE ADAPTER to OVERFLOW PIPE. Trim
REFILL TUBE as necessary to prevent kinking. NOTE: Flow from REFILL
TUBE must be positioned just above the OVERFLOW PIPE. Do not insert
REFILL TUBE down into OVERFLOW PIPE below water level. This will
siphon water down the OVERFLOW PIPE, which causes the VALVE to
turn on and off as it tries to keep the tank full. If the ANGLE ADAPTER
cannot be used, you may need the Model 599 Refill Clamp (not
included).
14. Connect FLAPPER CHAIN to hole in TANK LEVER arm that provides the
best lift. CHAIN should have slight slack when FLAPPER is in closed
position. Replace lid. Check lift action for proper flush.
15. IMPORTANT: Always clear sand and rust from system. Make sure water
supply is shut off. Remove VALVE TOP by lifting arm and rotating TOP
and ARM 1/8 turn counterclockwise, pressing down slightly on cap.
16. While holding a container over the uncapped VALVE to prevent splashing,
turn water supply on and off a few times. Leave water supply off.
17. Replace TOP by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. MAKE
CERTAIN TOP IS TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION. VALVE may not
turn on if TOP is not fully to the locked position.
18. Turn on water supply. Submerge the FLOAT CUP under the water for 30
seconds. Adjust the water to desired level by turning WATER LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT ROD and moving FLOAT CUP up or down. Water should
end up 1/2" to 1" below top of OVERFLOW PIPE.
IF FILL VALVE WON'T
TURN OFF,
• There may be debris at seal –
repeat Steps 15-17.
• The seal inside the VALVE
TOP may be damaged –
replace with genuine
Fluidmaster 242 seal.
