What happens here

Slowly turn the water supply shut-off valve counter-clockwise to open the water flow back to the toilet. Allow the tank to fill completely. Observe the water level in the tank; it should stop approximately 1 inch below the top of the flush valve overflow tube. Visually inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Finally, flush the toilet to ensure proper operation, including a complete flush and efficient refilling of both the tank and the bowl.

Goal: Confirm proper installation and function of the new fill valve
