[Music] this is the Fluidmaster universal all-in-one toilet rebuild kit comes with everything you need to rebuild a toilet so let's unpackage this bad boy and let's put it in okay so the very first thing I like to do is make sure you take this piece of cardboard out of here that'll save you some heartache later when you're freaking out wondering why your toilets leaking and so then we'll just remove this gasket and we'll set this aside because remember this goes on the bottom once this piece is installed okay so we'll just take this flush valve we'll set it right here in place so then we're going to measure how far the bottom of the handle comes up comes up about nine inches off the bottom so that way if the toilet valve malfunctions it doesn't start running out of the handle hole and then we'll just grab this we'll take the cutters just cut it off now with fullback around and I like to install this a little bit on the angle right here which seems to work out a little bit better so now that you have this in place you're going to take this nut right here and you're gonna put it on the back so then you just thread that on and you're going to want to grab your channel locks holding the inside of this there's a little groove there where you can stick two fingers down in you just want to fold that as you're back up and then grab with your channel locks and tighten and now you're able to take your tank to bowl gasket and you're able to stick that right on okay so then we're gonna take brass bolts and we're gonna go one on there and then grab the other one and then we're gonna stick both through they give you enough of these washers and the way I like to do this it's not how everybody does it some people just take at this step they take the metal nut and the metal washer and they'll attach it to this and they'll tighten it down I like to go rubber to rubber that way I get it to seal from both sides like that and then we have two different size nuts here it comes with two different size thicknesses one's a little thicker one's a little thinner so I take the thinner one with the washer with the metal washer and I'll just put that on and I'll tighten this down and that way this whole thing is secured let's do the same with the other one real quick so then we're going to take this fill valve and we're gonna pop this little ring right here and this allows you to adjust the whole thing up and down and we'll just leave that unadjusted for a moment we'll go to the bottom…
