Connect Water Supply and Test for Leaks

going to tighten them both evenly the other $6 or 25 bucks was spent on this supply line so this is a braided flex stainless steel supply line okay so the next thing we're going to do is we're gonna be hooking this hose up it goes from the fill valve to the flush valve grab this chain down here and get this chain hooked up so we want a little bit of play on the chain but not so much so let's go to right there you're gonna have to mess around with this a little bit find your sweet spot that looks pretty good you've got a little bit of a dip but not too much there's definitely play there and we'll see and if this actually works out then we're just gonna clip this chain off a little bit so we want to have it like just adjusted right below the tank this little sleeve right here that you had pulled up you just want to take that and you want to lock it down and slide it in place and that's gonna actually lock the fill valve and it's not going to allow that to move and now we'll be able to adjust right here okay so with all that hooked up just reach down with your left hand and just turn it on slowly get some water flow into that bad boy okay so now we're gonna give it a flush to see what adjustment we need to do good plush we're maybe gonna take just a little bit more off of that so we're going to lower the fill valve down just a little bit right here you can see this is minus and this is plus over here and we're just going to take it to the - a little bit it's because it started to double flush a little bit so you can do it by hand or you can do it with a screwdriver to trim the chain up I just like to still leave three or four links there and take it test at the same time let's break that apart [Music] perfect hey so for the finishing touches we got a little food coloring right here and we are going to test the flush valve and make sure that it's not leaking so you just drop a couple drops in there let's take my screwdriver a little bit let it set for about 10 minutes come back and check it okay so it's been setting and now we come to the bowl and we look there's no blue going on anywhere around it so we're couldn't hooked up and the last thing we do before we leave is we flush all the blue out of the toilet so the homeowner doesn't freak out and wonder what is going on with the plumbing
