Had a toilet fill valve here that was whistling really bad but there was no room to get in there to perform the usual function.
Sometimes I like changing the top half of the fill valve. But it does give me an opportunity to show you another way.
Here is an https://amzn.to/2LybtV0(Amazon Link) to the Fluidmaster fill valve.
You could replace the whole fill valve. But you could also actually take this portion, turn it to the side, and than you could pull it off the float spindle part that just pops in. You can see the calcium and mineral deposits that were on there.
Now cleaning the deal isn’t my deal. I am just doing the repair but I wanted to flush it out to prevent any call backs. Prevent any debris from staying in there and when initially turned it on, I turned it on a little too hard. Kind of splashed up and over which actually won’t hurt things here.
So here we take the new one, put it in and just rotate it to the side. That just clips it in and than you take the float arm and it just pushes into the arm handle. Just like so here.
Just check for the proper operation and than we can turn the water back on and test it out. Make sure it does its thing and than its got this little cap here. That you just push on. But I want to leak check it first to make sure it is not leaking water beyond it and that it is working good.
Everything looks good there. Turns off the water. And now I can put the top back on. That just presses into place.
Again checking to make sure it shuts off. And than we will just make sure it has got a good flush power. We can adjust that if need be. I show that in another video.
Clean up all the water here and I will leave the cleaning of that to somebody else but. Anyway. Back in the mix.
That is one way you could do it if you did not have enough room to get in there. You can see all the calcium deposits here. If those get built up just right than it will make the toilet whistle.
