placement toilet tank fill valve, reattach the sup- ply line to the base of the tank. Before attaching the supply line nut, however, wrap some plumbers tape around the threads of the toilet tank fill valve. Also, again only finger tighten the supply line nut to the threads of the toilet tank fill valve. Next, attach the small
flexible hose to the nipple located near the top of the toilet tank fill valve. Connect the other side
line valve back on and observe that the toilet tank fill valve fills up the tank appropriately before shutting off. After the toilet tank fill valve has shut off, flush the toilet and again check to see if the toilet fills up properly and to the right level. Also inspect the nuts to make sure there are no leaks. If there are leaks, tighten up the nuts a little more. If you need to use adjust- able pliers make sure not to apply too much torque. With the toilet flushing
and filling properly again your toilet tank fill valve replacement project is complete. Put the lid back on the toilet and you’re done.
