What to do if the toilet leaks and repairs the float valve

Step 2: After removing the valve plunger, you will see one or two gaskets (or type 0 seals). If one of these parts fails, the water will continue to flow through the valve plunger and the toilet will keep running, so check all gaskets for damage and replace them.

Step 3: If the float valve is sealed, replace it entirely. Turn off the water source from the toilet at the water closer, then flush, drain the water from the tank, unscrew the float arm from the old float valve, and remove the water fill pipe from the water pipe.

Step 4: Look for the connecting nut or sliding nut under the tank, from where the inlet pipe enters the bottom of the tank. Loosen the connecting nut, remove the inlet pipe, and then under the tank, use a movable wrench to clamp the lock nut or locknut, they are above the sliding nut, and use another wrench in the tank to clamp the base of the float valve shaft.

Step 5: Take out the old unit in the tank, remove all the gaskets at the connections inside and outside the tank and keep it, the new valve may have new gaskets, but you should keep the old parts until the new unit is installed, so as not to damage the new unit during installation. Step 6:

Insert the new float valve into the water tank hole, and after installing the gasket in the water tank, tighten the locknut outside the water tank so that the internal gasket is tightly pressed on the water tank hole to play a sealing role, but do not overtighten it. Step 7: Replace the connecting nut and water inlet pipe, and install the floating arm from the new, and then insert the injection pipe into the water pipe.

Step 8: Re-allow the water to flow out on the closing valve of the flush toilet, check for water seepage in various areas, and of course check if the float has scratched the back wall of the tank. The new float valve eliminates the need for a float arm and float and uses a cup.

Once the tank is full, the cup will float up to cut off the water source. You can.

Set the water level of the tank by adjusting the position of the cup on the lever. One of the advantages of this float valve is that it allows the tank to be drained at full speed until it is full. Then it immediately turns off the water, so it doesn't look like so-and-so.
