Thank you very much Mr. Merl. You made what started as a bad day a good day. The box said there was detailed instructions inside but there wasn't any instructions. I searched for the Kohler parts on KZfaq and by great luck, I found your video. I'm an accountant by trade and far from mechanically inclined. Your video saved me from spilling water all over my bathroom floor and allowed me to complete the task in 10 minutes (When I purchase furniture that requires assembly, if it says it will take 2 hours based on history it usually takes me 2 days so the 10 minutes is amazing). Thanks again!

I just replaced my Kohler fill valve today after watching your video. It's been awhile since it was noisy and leaking my fill valve. I was afraid to replace before because plumbing is kind of difficult to do. Also plumbers are charging like 120 bucks and sometimes they don't wanna do small job. Thanks for sharing this video...

Is the valve adjustable? My moms tank keeps running unless i pull thw valve up a little when its full ?? Anyone that can help is appreciated

@KyleMerl 4 жыл бұрын

Yep I believe you have to twist it to adjust the height. At least that's what I had to do with mine

@kthewhite7453 4 жыл бұрын

I literally just fixed this issue 2 mins ago with our brand new toilet. If you remove the cover for the floater arm, you'll see a pin that most likely isn't aligned properly in it's holes which creates friction so the arm can't go up all the way. I took pliers and yanked the pin out then realigned it properly and voila! It's fixed. No more friction on the floater arm so it fully rises now :)

I twist mine to try and match the height and nothing happens. The two parts turn but the height doesn’t change

@KyleMerl 4 жыл бұрын

hmmm. if it's a Kohler it could be a defective part. If it's a different brand it might have a different way for adjusting the height. make sure you're turning the bottom part clockwise and maybe pull on it a little bit as you do it... not a lot but just a little.

@guymandudely324 6 ай бұрын

And now your toilet will fill 50% more slowly because of that gray valve you put on. I don't understand Kohler's logic of filling the tank more slowly as a 'water savings' measure. How does that work?

@KyleMerl 6 ай бұрын

Yea I'm not sure what the purpose of those are... I just made sure to match it to whatever the original was. In general I think all of these water saving appliances are annoying because none of them work as well. And how much money is it really saving us?

@guymandudely324 6 ай бұрын

@@KyleMerl Money saving = zero. I live alone but if I had to share a toilet with three other people, I think life would be stressful waiting extra minutes for the tank to fill. So I guess the purpose of the flow regulator is to make life more frustrating, right?
