IF FILL VALVE WILL NOT TURN OFF
• IMPORTANT: Sand and rust moves through water pipes. Clear
debris from fill valve. Follow steps: "REMOVING TOP SECTION &
FLUSHING OUT DEBRIS" & "REPLACING TOP OF FILL VALVE."
• If new fill valve will not turn off: Remove top section of valve and
check for debris. If no flow or a weak flow, the problem is located
down the inlet tube of the lower shank or in the water supply line
or at the shut off at the wall.
IF FILL VALVE WILL NOT TURN ON
• If fill valve has been in use for some time, and/or the float cup
does not drop when flushing the tank: Replace the 242 seal
located at bottom of the upper section of the fill valve. Follow
the steps: "REMOVING THE TOP SECTION & FLUSHING OUT
DEBRIS, REPLACING VALVE SEAL # 242, and "REPLACING TOP
SECTION OF FILL VALVE."

Installing The New Fill Valve
Position valve Attach one end of REFILL
HOSE to REFILL CLIP.
Place clip on right side of
overflow pipe. Attach other
end of hose to nipple on fill
valve with a slight arching
of hose. (See drawing
to the right). Cut tube as
necessary. Do not shove
refill tube down overflow
pipe. This can cause major
water waste.
IF WATER LEVEL IN BOWL IS TOO LOW
• Make sure the refill hose is supplying water down the overflow pipe.
• Water level in tank may be too low. Raise water level to 1/2" below
top of overflow pipe.(Use "C" shaped metal clip to raise float cup
higher).
IF FILL VALVE CYCLES ON AND OFF BY ITSELF
• This indicates the tank is losing water. The fill valve is refilling the
lost water. Check the flapper and flush valve for leaking.
• If refill hose is down inside the overflow pipe, below the water level
of tank, it will siphon water from tank to bowl. Keep refill hose
above the water level of the tank.
