Step 1: Make sure
the toilet water shut-off valve
is in the closed position.
Step 2: After removing the piston from the valve, you will see one or two seals (or O-rings). If one of these parts fails, water will continue to flow past the valve plunger and the toilet will continually flow. Please check all seals and replace them if damaged.
Step 3: If
the float valve
is sealed, replace it completely. Turn off the water source to the toilet at the water shut-off valve, then flush, drain the water from the tank, unscrew the float arm from the old float valve, then remove the water fill hose from the water supply pipe.
Step 4: Look for the connector nut or slide nut under the water tank, where the water inlet pipe enters the bottom of the water tank . Loosen the connection nut, remove the hose fromwater supply, then use an adjustable wrench
under the water tank to tighten the lock nut
< p> orlock nut
, which is above the slide nut, and use another wrench to tighten the base of the float valve shaft in the water tank.
Step 5: Remove the old device from the water tank, remove the gaskets from all fittings inside and outside the water tank and save them. New valves may come with new seals, but you must keep the old ones. When it's time to install a new appliance, prevent it from getting damaged during the installation process.
Step 6: Insert the new float valve into the hole in the water tank. After installing the gasket inside the water tank, tighten the locknut on the outside of the water tank so that the internal gasket is firmly seated against the water tank. louse holer seal, but do not overtighten.
Step 7: Replace the connection nut and water inlet pipe, reinstall the floating arm, then insert the injection pipe into the water supply pipe.
Step 8: Let the water flow again on the toilet water shut-off valve, check for water leaks in various parts and of course, check if the floating ball scratches the back wall of the toilet. the water tank.
Step 9: The new float valve eliminates the float arm and float ball and uses a wash material cup. When the water tank is full, the material cup floats and cuts off the water source. You can adjust the water level in the water tank by adjusting the position of the feed cup on the pull rod. One of the advantages of this float valve is that it can discharge water at full speed when the water tank is flushed until it isit's full. It then immediately turns off the water so there is no noise while the float arm gradually closes the valve like some toilets do.
