Great vid, thank you! But I have an issuethe top portion of my fill valve will not budgeI have a Western toilet with fill valve part # A1250430019 Any advice? I appreciate it! Comment from : JR007

This video is linked to on the actual product box and doesn’t even show how to install, WTF Comment from : Allen Walton

I do this now every 8-12 months This time though the valve started making a high screeching noise when flushing Performing these steps fixed the noise Thanks! Comment from : Edwin Antillon

Exactly what I needed, thanks! Comment from : Anthony

Omg, that did it😁 I know that I am not, but I feel like such an accomplished handy man though😅 Thank you Comment from : Just Call Me Ant

Wow, fixed my leak in under a minute! Thanks! I feel silly now for having let it run over the last few weeks Comment from : Buck Wilson

Thank you so much for this You helped me avoid wasting 100s of dollars on a plumber! Comment from : Haviprime

Easy cleanup , came as described fast Great product Comment from : Andy Jame

That seal/diaphragm in the top cap can be worn or bad It's part#242 Easy to replace and cheaper/easier than replacing the entire valve Comment from : Muziklvr777

My fluid 400A Fill Valve is leaking at the cap in a pulsing way Is it defective? Comment from : Zack Baines

This was the link on the side of the box on how to install the Fluidmaster 400A valve asssembly I guess the jokes on me Ha Ha Fluidmaster Comment from : Paul Oliver

Worked like a charm thanks! Comment from : Whispers

Red Solo Cup, I fill you up, let's have a party, let's have a party I used a McCafe cup, hope that's ok 😄 Comment from : NotSoHandyTim

Great demonstration, thank you Comment from : bfjb70

This helped so much mine started hissing and was continuously running causing the cistern to overfill and this was only a week after installation! Taking the cap off revealed the issue what had happened was when the valve was installed jointing compound was used to connect the pipe to the isolation valve due to previous issues with leaks What happened was the water flow caused debris from jointing compound to sit under the black rubber seal and also be at the top of the fill valve chamber Once this was cleaned up it was working fine Comment from : a p

Thank you! Your video helped me fixed my problem Comment from : John1000

Thank you! My toilet has been making this noise for weeks and I have finally been able to fix it with this video Comment from : schfooge

Dude didn't even remove his wedding ring while doing all that What a champ! Comment from : Ronny Sharma

I am embarrassed to say I have lived with the water hammer for 3 years! I tried flushing the air out of the pipes, I tried a hammer arrester at the toilet but it took a call to the plumber who said $150 per hour to get me to continue to search deeper in to the recesses of the web Well, $14 later and it is fixed by simply replacing the fill valve!!!!!! oh my gosh, I was so afraid my pipes would burst from the water hammer One way I figured out it was the old fill valve was to wiggle it and yes, the water hammer stopped at that instant! Comment from : TravelTrix

Thanks so much for this video! We had a toilet start hissing today and this fixed the issue! Comment from : Khai Pham

Thanks for posting this video! Well, we flushed the fill valve and replaced it but the hissing sound is still going on I will try replacing it and see what happens I will mention however, that the water that fills the toilet is warm not cold so that may have affected the valve The warm water is due to a valve we have under the sink that continuously circulates water so we don't have to wait for hot water in the shower - not sure why the toilet water is included Comment from : Lourdes Knight

Fluidmaster, you guys are the best!brUnfortunately, it did not occur to me to look for a video until I was browsing the fluidmaster site after this 400A valve was replaced like for like brNever afraid to put my hands in a cistern (even in holiday units!) I had searched the valve for the solution to our new overflow issue We have rented this house for8 years, and the toilet was well and truly old when we moved in Even the trade store didn't recognise the worn logo I photographed on a previous repair (the rubber seal from the cistern drainpipe into the ceramic inlet of the loo- I don't remember what it's called, I'm clearly not a real plumber!)brThis toilet ALWAYS filled super slowly and I just figured it was supposed to be like that, worked perfectly otherwise, and totally silent -I was aware that there had been long term illness for the previous owner, so figured it was deliberate brBut the very slow overflow required attention I carefully watched as the valve refilled, trying to locate the issue but basically no matter how high I raised the float and its lever, the pin didn't stop the intake I carefully, gently but firmly, twisted, rotated and adjusted every section I could identify as separate, I had taken the black cap off, which I can see from the video here is advantageous to leave on to remove the filter mechanism cap I had tried to twist this part in both directions but nothing moved, so I figured there was no option but replacementbrI contacted the owner/landlord, who arranged a plumber with a new cistern! I searched online and found the valve complete for roughly $22 Australian I sent him a picture, he was over in half an hour and it was replaced in just about as long Not only do we no longer have an overflow issue, but the toilet refills in less than about a minute instead of the 5 -7 it used to take!brHaving since found and watched this video, I attempted to open the filter/mechanism but it was indeed so old and fragile that the structures on the top broke before I could twist it off Inside there was nothing more than a few dust sized particles that looked more like the result of my earnest attempts to open itbrSo you know what, I'm happy Even though I may have been able to fix this without replacement, I do believe that in this instance the valve was just too old, I'm guessing it would have to be minimum12 years, maybe so much as 20? Not only that, the brand new valve unit was still only $22!!!!!! That's nothing these days On top of that my landlord now thinks (KNOWS) that I'm the best tenant in the world, because I saved him both a new cistern, and a plumber visitbrFluidmaster, you guys are brilliant! I am now going over everything on your site for future reference Your generosity in providing these videos is to be commended You have won another loyal customer ;-) I'll see you in 15 years! Comment from : TailWaggyDog

Problems with my fluidmaster, when I flush, black floater doesn't move when tank is refilling so it's constantly running So every time I have to remove toilet tank lid and pull up the black float for tank to fill up and stop the running of waterbrbr I did the flush 3 x {remove top cover on stem} but no minerals or tiny rocks causing the problem Black float seems to be stuck every time causing me to remove lid to get tank to refill by manually lifting float Suggestions ? {Don't have money to spend, unemployed} Comment from : Rainer Rain

Worked well first try Comment from : Tim D

If doing this doesn't work do I need to replace the valve? Comment from : Mud Stone

I did what I saw on the Video, and it worked, I was thinking about replace the Fluidmaster so you saved me time and money thank you Comment from : 4Amor-Podcast (The Good Life with Dr Lori)

Thank you for the clear and to-the-point instructions! Great video!! Comment from : orenji

Thanks for posting this up! We live far from any major city, so it's very hard to persuade plumbers to come out to us for small jobs like a slow-filling cistern Our grey/black Fluidmaster intermittently stopped filling, before totally stopping except for a small drip (taking about an hour to fill) It is as old as the house at 19 years, so we figured some washer/gasket needed replacing or the whole inlet valvebrbrAfter hunting around for few minutes, we found this video We followed this procedure exactly, and the toilet is now filling up as normal The whole thing took no longer than 10 minutes including hunting around for a screwdriver for the stop cock brbrNo need for a callout, and no need for any plastic waste by replacing the whole valve assembly It's great that Fluidmaster are putting videos out like this It puts a lot of faith, confidence into a brand, and fuels brand loyalty Good for you!brbrThank you Fluidmaster!!! Comment from : Richard Griffiths

Thank you! That filling noise was getting annoyingbr👍 Comment from : Michael P

Thank you so much for this video! I just recently installed this fill valve and after a few days it wouldn't stop filling the tank I thought I'd have to replace it but I followed your steps and it's perfect now Comment from : Dave

What about a loud ass whistle from the fill valve I did take it apart cleaned the diaphragm still I have to whistle Comment from : Travis Enmon

Very simple and easy to follow instructions I did exactly as you described, and the water started pouring through the little spout and shooting down the tube to fill the tank, the next time I turned the water on But The very next flush, it would not flow through the spout and pour down the tube I don't see any visible debris, and I repeated the process 3 times Each time, the first fill of the tank worked like usual, and the next flush reverts back to the dribbling, no-fill situation What's next? Comment from : Lindsey W

Thank you very much! The water in my toilet tank was above the water line and would not stop hissing and filling the toilet bowl, however I did not know how to fix that I am definitely not a plumber or anything of the sort, so this video was a huge help! Comment from : M R

Yep there was a little chunk of rubber in there Thank you Comment from : Neuro

Great vid Got our toilet back up and running Thank you! Comment from : Rogger Christina Ortiz

Thank you, it worked Comment from : agente180

for me, flushing didn't fix it but replacing the rubber seal on top did Comment from : frodofraggins

This is good advice but did not fix my toilet reverberation problem It turned out to be some debris in the basin cold tap that's connected to the same pipework Flushed out now and quiet restored Comment from : Robin Herrick

This video is literal gold!! Comment from : Rose Bouquet

Amazing There was a rubber piece stuck in mine Worked perfectly Wow Comment from : Rose Bouquet

Perfecto ! Thank you I rent and did not want to have to wait on the landlord ! Comment from : Mama Bean Coleman

hissing would never stop tried this fix and flushed toilet a few times to test and voila! no sound definitely deserves a like and a sub, doing gods work Comment from : Sab Perdosa

It didnt work for me I had to use duck tape to hold the assembly to the side It somehow made the noise go away Comment from : rotgertesla

Ty great help! Comment from : BIG RICAN

Thank you so much This did the trick Comment from : Vile Flesh

This video is a life saver! Comment from : Lauren Peterson

The hissing stopped only after the snake in my bathroom bit me Comment from : TROTPTKA BASNBI

This did not work for me But I can tell that the fill valve is old At this point should I just replace the fill valve? Comment from : Noctis Gamma

I replaced my with new vaulve and still Turing on and off noise Comment from : Debbie Branidis

There was no actual installation this video was a waste of time Comment from : SickOfItAlI93MAGA

Worked great! My mom said several repair people quoted hundreds of dollars to diagnose but she and I were able to fix it in five minutes Thanks! Comment from : Taylors Robots with Taylor Alexander

Very simple, seemed to work as I haven't heard the hissing for a few minutes now Comment from : Quiet Cynic

Thanks, your video fix my problem, looking forward to any future video Comment from : Brian Lanes

Didnt work Comment from : tex

of all the videos on a fill valve this is the best one hands down Comment from : Marty Ewing

Thank you! Thank you, thank you! thank you! Comment from : Saw Dawn

Holy crap it worked! Thank you so much! Comment from : Alright then

That was beyond helpful Thank you so much for posting those suggestions Comment from : JM

What a great way to start the Christmas season - turn a suddenly appearing sound of potential dread into total silence Getting a firm grasp on the fill shaft and lifting the float assembly before turning and removing the top did it for me There were two little pieces of what looked calcified debris that when removed left only the sound of silence brbrBefore I held it firmly I had visions of an old Abbott and Costello plumber skit as the top wouldn’t come loose Whatever happens over the upcoming holiday shopping season, I’ll have this in the back of my mind! 👍🤓brbrCheers 🍻 Comment from : johnps30

yes!! fixed and so simply Comment from : Thomas Schroedl

I tried this The screeching sound is gone But now when I try to put the water back to were it was the whole top fills up with water What did I do wrong ? Now I have to keep the water off Comment from : Celene Gonzalez

How do you turn the water off? Comment from : Julia Dixon

Installed about 1 year ago Noticed hissing for the last few days Tried this and had some debris Picked it out, did the flush method and no more hissing Thank you! Comment from : JBT9

I cannot thank you enough for this video Such an incredible simple fix and conveyed very clearly You guys easily saved me $200 Comment from : Tinkerbuff

Great video This worked out well Didn't want to buy a new valve as a renter Thanks to your video, I've fixed my in a few minutes Comment from : 48peon

just bought a brand new toilet, installed it, and it kept leaking, took apart, put back together, adjusted valve, it quit leaking but kept making a hissing noise even after checked levels, etc watched this video, tried it on the valve, and it worked, couldn't believe the stuff that came out into the new tank thank you for this video, it works great! Comment from : Holly Wallace

Thank you Subscribing Comment from : xschultz

It worked! Thank you : ) Comment from : Anne Fallible

I've never been very handy, but our toilet was making a noise, and by god, I fixed it! I feel like some platonic ideal of a 50s Father is nodding approvingly at me At least until he finds out I'm married to a black woman, anywaybrbrbrThank you so much for this tutorial! Comment from : GG Crono

Thank you so very much! Comment from : Toe Knee

That worked a charm! Thanks! Comment from : David Slone

Also I forgot to mention I removed the black rubber seal as it had lots of sentiment on both sides of it Comment from : Lstwhknight

Thank you for posting the repair I change over the guts of any toilet I own when moving into a new home with Fluidmaster parts Easy and simple to find replacement parts at any home repair store, easy to install and adjust They last many many years without failure The failure I had was not parts related but sentiment build up Your video made it quick and simple to repair with no additional parts required I did vary slightly as having worked on aircraft many years I am aware of how easy plastic parts can break I removed the valve and carefully pressed in the top and twisted slowly, it came off easy with no breakage It was loaded with sentiment I rinsed it clear with clean water and used a tooth brush to clean the rubber seal and rinsed it clean Reinstalled it and just put my hand cupped over it as I turned the water on for final rinse Installed the cap and it works perfectly Removing the entire valve was really unnecessary I found out but caution is how I approach any problem These problems in life always seem to strike at the worst moments, as I was caring for my wife who is ill So your video and quality products many life easier when problems arise To bad every product isn’t so well engineered and supported Thank you Comment from : Lstwhknight

Thank you thank you!!!! I am almost certain this just fixed it!!! Woo hoo!!!! Can't tell you how happy I am! Comment from : Nikki B

Love it when these videos are posted, ironically this should be done when installing a new toilet that has this type of fill valve (several companies use the fluidmaster fill valves) saves having this issue as when you turn off an old shutoff valve sometimes a piece of the rubber seal breaks off Comment from : PittiePal

Fixed it!! Perfect! Thank you so much guys Comment from : Jared Baker

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much, you've save my wife and I such a headache Comment from : Lucid Mooses

Debris Fixed Thank you Comment from : Michael Pleva

I just installed a brand-new FluidMaster400AH valve It works great Is the cleaning procedure the same? Is there a rubber diaphragm inside the cap or is it an O-ring? How often should it be cleaned or should I wait until it malfunctions? One last question my 400AH is brand new but it fills the toilet pretty slowly Is there a way to increase the flow? I want to understand this valve so when it comes time to repair it I'll know what to do Thanks Comment from : Dave Bowman

Thank you so much I just found this, and it worked perfectly Very clear instructions Well Done! Comment from : Jenelle G

Thank you!!! You just made my morning! I feel like a champ for fixing the toilet and followed your video step by step 😁 Comment from : Nine and Vine

Yes! This was the solution Super simple Took less than two minutes and problem resolved Red Solo cup! Comment from : Greg H

I want to cry tears of joy, this actually worked for me The last thing I wanted was to pay a plumber to come inspect it, and "guess" as to what was wrong (which is what they did last time) Blessings to you 👍 Comment from : chillinebony

Thank you for posting this video This helped me fix my toilet exactly as you showed Comment from : D T
