How to Replace a Fluid Master
1. Remove the lid
to the toilet and put it in a safe place.
2. Shut-off the water
supply to the toilet.(The
shut-off valve is near the floor on the left hand
side.)
3. Drain the
toilet tank by flushing the toilet. Use a rag to
sponge out the remaining water.
4. Using a pair of
"channel lock" pliers, or a crescent
wrench, unscrew the nut of the supply tubing
where it's attached at the bottom of the tank. It
is attached to the threaded-bottom of the Fluid
Master. Leave the supply tubing attached to the
shut-off valve.
5. After you have
removed the supply nut, (in #4, above) you will
see another nut and washer on the bottom of the
tank that secures the Fluid Master to the tank.
Remove this nut and washer.
Look at the way
the rubber washer and nut is installed. You will
be putting it back on the new Fluid Master, the
same way.
6. Remove the old
Fluid Master from inside the tank. Look at how it
was installed, and how the overflow tube is
installed. Reinstall the new one the same way.
Secure the nut and washers to the bottom of the
Fluid Master at the bottom of the tank, the same
way you removed them.Don't forget to hook the
overflow tube into the overflow pipe.
7. Re-connect your
supply tubing. And turn the water back on. Check
for leaks. You may have to tighten the nuts.
The water in the
tank should be approximately 1 inch below the
overflow pipe.
