Turn off water at valve. Drain tank. Remove fill line that goes to bottom of tank. Remove large nut from underneath tank holding in old fill/float valve assembly. Clean area around hole in tank above and below. Get large black washer from kit put onto bottom of fluid-master pipe (lip side down). Place fluid-master into hole from top of tank to check height. Top of fluid-master valve should be even or just a bit below top of tank. To adjust hold head of fluid-master and turn pipe ccw to lengthen, cw to shorten. Once adjusted put into tank. Using large flat nut in kit tighten to tank, making sure its centered in the hole, no part of the float touching the sides of the tank, and that the small nipple on the side where the small black hose will attach is facing towards the overflow pipe. Make it nice and tight, but don\'t break it.Then re attach water supply line you removed earlier, hand tight only. Place pipe clip onto top of overflow pipe (funny looking plastic clip with metal piece attached). Attach small black hose to fill valve nipple on side of valve, other side to funny clip. You may need to cut it shorter so it doesn\'t kink. Tun on water and adjust float if required. Level should be 1/2" below top of overflow pipe.
12. IMPORTANT: Always clear sand and rust from system. Make sure
water supply is shut off. Remove valve TOP by lifting arm and rotating
top and arm 1/8 turn counterclockwise, pressing down slightly on cap.
13. While holding a container over the uncapped VALVE to prevent
splashing, turn water supply on and off a few times. Leave water
supply off.
14. Replace TOP by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. MAKE
CERTAIN TOP IS TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION. VALVE MAY
NOT TURN ON IF TOP IS NOT FULLY TO THE LOCKED POSITION.
15. Turn on water supply. Adjust water to desired level by squeezing water
level adjustment clip and moving FLOAT CUP up or down along stainless
steel link. Check for leaks, then check for proper flush.
If that does not work:
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN OFF,
• There may be debris at seal - repeat Steps 12-15.
• The seal inside the valve top may be damaged -replace with genuine
Fluidmaster 242 seal.
