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.
Water rushing through a small opening creats turbulence and noise. Only way to quiet it down is to restrict(slow down)the water volume by closing the supply valve partially.
Hi tdechill...
Make sure the hose that goes to the top/side of the fluidmaster is in the overflow tube of the water tank, if it is then It should not spray water from the top, it is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Please take time to rate me
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.
Twist the Blue top cap counter clockwise. This will remove the top. Inside, you will find a white round rubber piece that has most likely become dirty and stiff. Push the round upper cap up and down with your thumb in the middle of the top rounded part of this piece. Once the piece seems softer and more flexible, if you have already cleaned it, place it back into the top of the fixture with the smaller round end down. Place the cap back on, rotate it clockwise until it clicks in secure. At that point, it should work fine and the water squirting out of the top should be stopped or reduced significantly so that you can continue to use the toilet.
Make sure that any valves that you shut to install the fill valve are fully open after the installation.
If that doesn't work, the following is from another fix your stuff site:
Shut off water supply. Lift the rod arm and remove top cap assembly by turning 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Using a straightened coat hanger, carefully clean out the inlet passage of the Valve.
If these don't help, check the model number of your Fluidmaster and include that the next time you write.
The buoy or float cup as it is known by may not be the problem. Try removing the fluidmaster top cap assembly and flush our the valve for debris. If the valve is several years old you may want to replace the top cap seal with model 242.
