What happens here

This DIY project provides a detailed guide on how to replace a faulty toilet fill valve, specifically an old-style ballcock valve, with a new Fluidmaster PerforMAX Toilet Fill Valve. The process covers shutting off water, draining the tank, removing the old components, installing and adjusting the new valve, connecting the water supply and refill tube, and finally testing for proper operation and leaks.

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
