SOURCE: toilet tank fill valve sprays water towards lid

Hi bpmorr1,

It may be that the fill tube has come disconnected . It runs from the top of the fill valve to the overflow. The overflow is the tube that runs up the middle of the tank. The fill tube runs from the top of the fill valve to the top of the overflow tube. Kohler has a little clip that can sometimes come undone and cause spraying.


If that doesn't do it, turn the water off to the toilet and take off the tank lid. Partially open valve ( Slowly). Locate where spray is coming from. If it is in the area on top of the fill valve then yes, buy anew one. ( Fluidmaster )

SOURCE: valve adjustment

You need to replace the flapper and you will need to purchase one specifically for the Kohler toilet. I have the same toilet and tried using a generic flapper and from experiance, it didn't work until I bought the correct one and I'm a plumber! Have a great night.

SOURCE: Running toilet

Mine does that also, here's what I found.; I am on a well and occasionaly sand gets caught in the valve thingy... Take the tank lid off, turn the arm that attaches to the float assy. 1/4 turn towards the back of the tank and take it out. Rinse off the gasket and pin as well as inside the hole. Reassemble and it should solve your problem.

SOURCE: toilet fill runs periodically works well but wastes water

Sounds like your flapper is leaking causing the water in the tank to lower until it triggers the fill valve. Replace the flapper (they're cheap and wear out easily).

if the flappper isn't closing, there is no suction AKA a clog perhaps.

Put Fluidmaster 747 in Kohler. Attached the rubber fill tube hose, but no water comes out of it. Was I supposed to rotate the blue cap? It has to have water manually added to flush thoroughly. Help!

I think the answerers so far have missed the question. I have the same issue. I just installed a new Kohler 747 ant it works fine EXCEPT there is no water coming out of the white nipple/black tube, to refill the bowl. Is there some kind of internal setting to allow or not allow bowl fill tube? There is on some a reducing roller pinch valve to tame how much goes to the bowl, but zero does not work for me.

Can i put a fluidmaster 400A in a Kohler Rialto

Save that valve... !
Use a fluidmaster (diaphram) part #242 as a replacement substitute!!
Easier than most pill bottles... !!!
(turn off the water)
The valve seems to be very thin plastic but mine lasted 20 years before needing a new diaphram. I cold hear the water going (seep. seep, seep))... and changed the flapper valve... Wrong!
I actually bought the new white plastic one to experiment on... but never got that far... Great price ($26) from Amzn (new spare... still in box)

The white VALVE (right) end of the 1068030 twists off easier ... over the top (clockwise: less than 1/8 turn... there is a little white lock bar on the very back that has to be pressed in to allow rotation).
Ignore the (blue) float lever... you wont be turning anything that far.
The expensive & unavailable KOHLER diaphram can be substituted with a $2 FLUIDMASTER #242 diaphram... available everywhere... Home Depot, ACE, General Plumbing Supply...
(Amazon = $4 +/- shipping, (local "dealer" had nothing in stock... of course)).
Kohler.com ships for a whole lot more!
Sadly... THAT very SAME FLUIDMASTER #242 will also fit in the "Kohler 703" valve everybody seems to be throwing away (the easiest valve I have ever repaired).
The GRAY "703" valve seems to be very thin plastic but mine lasted 20 years before needing a new diaphram.
That is a hard twist 1/8 turn: counter-clockwise... same #242 diaphram... 5 minute job!
Six minutes if you hold a cup over the valve and rinse it out like you are supposed to do...

I have a fill valve that says Fluidmaster 747. when tank goes to fill it sprays water out at the top

There should be a small flexible tube/hose that came with this and goes over where the water is spraying out, it should look like a little nipple, the hose goes on there and then to the white tube appoximately an inch or so in diameter that goes to the bottom of the tank where the flapper ball is connected. The small flexible tube is supposed to connect to the top of the larger tube via a clip so-as to fill the toilet bowl back with water. If everything is connected like it's supposed to be then you might have a cracked fluidmaster.

Have old kohler, i do not know what the inside flapper part is. However toilet will flush but tank will not fill. I can turn thhe water to the tank off and turn on again and it will fill

This indicated that there is dirt of corrosion in the flush valve assembly that get jarred loose and flushed out when turning on the supply valve below. My recommendation is replacing the flush valve assembly with a Fluidmaster flush valve. Be sure to follow the instructions when removing the old valve and installing the new one. If you need step by step instructions, please message me and I will provide them.

Water squirts from tank while filling

Take lid off and check that the fill tube is in place. If so flush with lid off to see were the water is squirting from, be prepared to clean up water...If you can, do a slight flush. If there is water coming from any where but the bottom of fill valve and the fill tube you may need to replace the fill valve. In my experience, the fill tube is dissconected.

We replaced the toilet kit about 6 months ago and now the toilet runs even when the bowl is filled? What can we do to fix it.

There is either a screw on the top of the fluidmaster, or the float can be screwed out further. If it has a screw on top of the fluidmaster, screw it in to make the valve shut off earlier. Keep adjusting and flushing until it shuts off before it overflows. Hope this helps...

The tank no longer fills with water so the toilet doesn't flush. Unit has been problem free for almost 10 years. Water supply valve in the back opens and closes. Simply quit.

it's probably your fill valve has gone kaput! try replacing that. turn the water off disconnect the water suppily line and there should be one nut under the toilet tank and then the whole valve should pop right out and you can pick up a new one . fluidmaster makes the best one! and just follow their instructions on installing it.

Toilet will not flush

It sound like you have debris caught in the fill valve. Remove the top where the washer is and put your hand over it and slowly turn the water on to flush the fill valve. Replace the washer with a new one and then replace the top.

If you have the old ball and **** style, replaceing the diaphram is harder so I would recommend replacing it with a fluidmaster fill valve. Hope this helps.
