What happens here

Before starting any work on the toilet, locate and turn the water supply shut-off valve clockwise to completely stop the water flow to the toilet. After turning off the water, flush the toilet to empty the tank of all water. Place a towel around the water supply line connections underneath the tank to catch any residual drips.

Goal: Prepare the toilet for maintenance by isolating water flow
