toilet will not fill with water

how to replace and adjust the toilet fill valve

[@Michelle-go5nv]

Thank you for this. Military wife here. Husband just left. I have a kid party tonight. Toliet broke. No plumber could come out. Bought the same exact one. Easy easy. Bless you!!

[@AtlasGaveUp]

Thanks for the video. I'm fairly young and have only recently got my own apartment. Toilet messed up about a week after and the maintenance guy is useless. This video helped me fix it my self with relative ease.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+AtlasGaveUp thanks for the comment

[@thersten]

I had to wear gloves just to watch you fix this filthy toilet. Good video though.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

thersten thanks for the comment

[@Tonyskid1]

+thersten OMG dont fix it take it out and THROW AWAY, HEP "C" comes to mind here.

[@r.joseph8911]

"xxx" toilet....VERY dirty haha

[@cromerbeach]

thersten lol oh that made me laugh big time

[@garyglanz403]

Had to wear gloves? You know that's the fresh water side!

[@marthareyes4761]

Thank you for giving easy but complete instructions on how to accomplish the repair. This is exactly what I need!

[@DemetriusDasilva]

Great video thank you for sharing. I was able to replace that fill valve in my toilet box. Constructive suggestion: It'd be nice if you could narrate or caption the video so us laymen would know what's being done step-by-step plus what parts and tools are involved.

[@SahibBennett]

Steven. Thank you. Great Job. I will be able to fix mine this weekend.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Sahib Bennett good luck

[@phoenix-kenzodapathaan5568]

I had to get vaccination after watching you work! Joking aside, great and informative and that's reason hate doing toilet jobs especially at scummy people's homes!!

[@vfilippone]

Thanks for posting - great vid - easy to understand and very clear - just did mine and it works great now.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

vfilippone thanks for the comment

[@annsappliance9456]

Thank you it will be perfect for what I need.i followed you instruction and did banging job. Thank you for the video and the pump information.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Ms Ann thanks for watching

[@yensabi]

Hi Steve , yes i like those universal valves too , they will replace most other types and i always keep a couple in the truck.....

[@stevenlavimoniere]

yensabi thanks for watching

[@Louise-lg3wt]

Very helpful. I think I can make the necessary repairs to my toilet. Thank you.

[@robertweintraub5418]

Steve, looking for top notch toliet and faucets, what is your option of Toto and Grohe? Thanks! Really enjoying your videos.

[@don.richard8823]

The Plumberminator! Well done video 👍

[@hollysue6618]

I also liked the home made syringe water thing! Cool.

[@g8trlvrjr]

I'm a little late on the comment but, I was wondering if you were aware that letting the fill tube from the fill valve hang below the water line inside the tank that it will create a siphon and make the fill valve turn off and on? You'll think it's the flapper leaking but it's not.

[@loumitch1]

Toilet: Clean. Toilet tank: grody to the max.

[@k_sirps585]

😂😂

[@Sawashi32]

Another superb video. Thanks for posting.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Sawashi32 thanks for watching

[@emes8742]

Thanks. Great instructions. Single mom. I can do this!

[@alexandraskarpentzos8809]

best luck Em Es!

[@jessenobile3129]

Thank you. This video helped me and I changed out fill tube and my toilet was fixed.

[@peskypeet]

Hey Steve, great vids. Question- How do you remove the cap on the Brasscraft fill valves to clean the rubber gasket? I tried the same method that they use on the 400A but it doesn't want to move and I'm not sure about putting more pressure or force on it because of all that plastic. Maybe it's brittle from being in there for the last eight years?

[@bigmiked52]

Steve buddy I think it's time we change that antifreeze drain bucket you got there lol

[@stevenlavimoniere]

michael white maybe i need to .. i have more

[@MichaelHadac]

I have the same BrasCraft sytem, but it takes forever to fill up! Like 15 minutes between flushes. How can I increase the water flow please. Otherwise it works good, just slow.. Thanks Michael.

[@ralexand20]

Man of few words...I like it!

[@Felouire]

Hey steve, im wondering what coil you use for connecting the supply to the tank? I will be changing the fill valve of my toilet thanks to you and i want to also change the supply. Can you tell me what kind of hose that is?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

[@nicholasperez4493]

Is it possible to know if it is the filler valve and not the shut off valve without draining the water from the tank?

[@Brad1237202]

Thanks Steven. I always figured the old style "all brass" float valves would be much better quality than the plastic valves. Are the new BrassCraft valves really that good?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad1237202 i have no problem with these valve installed tons of them .. the brass ones are just more money.is all better maybe but more cash .. i would install this valve in my house in i needed one

[@SteveSam66]

Good Job. Everything is plastic these days. I wish they made a plastic universal valve for my Briggs 6006 toilet. I was lucky to find the parts needed to rebuild it.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

S Sam well they still have brass fill valves,, but this plastic ones are fast and quick to install

[@SteveSam66]

I wasn't able to find Briggs parts.I ended up finding a new brass Case ballcock rebuild kit It worked out fine. I ended up also replacing the flapper valve gasket. I just could have replaced the toilet for what the parts cost, but The toilet was part of a set and the color was discontinued.

[@2SweetDee1]

hi steve, the city shut the water main yesterday for some sewer work. Water was eventually restored but now my toilet tank will not fill up with water. do you have any advise?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

2SweetDee1 shut the valve off below tank you can remove the top of fill valve then open shutoff with hand above the fill valve and flush out the valve then reattach the top of fill valve .that should work .if not replace the toilet fill valve with a new one sometime the supply will get blocked with debree also

[@jamesbrown2568]

Where did you butt the Brass Craft fill valve?

[@stlbluesfan1992]

My favorite fill valves are the old ballcock valves, you know the one with the rod, the ball and all that, with fluidmaster, Korky, and Brasscraft, the floats are not replaceable if they break, with the ball valves, they are. I can get them to fit in almost any toilet and are easy to fix.

[@stlbluesfan1992]

And they are cheaper than the others

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+STLbluesfan1 i like this style

[@gregbouchard8353]

Hi mate how are u doing today mate see a relly good job mate keep up the good work on KZbin keep up on KZbin mate am a big fan of u on KZbin keep up there good work on KZbin form Greg

[@allbiz2k10]

How was that "syringe" constructed? I can tell it's pvc pipe with a cap, a nipple, hose. I couldn't see the plunger.Please share.

[@NightFlight1973]

+allbiz2k10 Just shut the valve off and flush. Hold the flapper up until the reservoir is drained.

[@allbiz2k10]

+NightFlight1973 Yes, I am aware of that. I wanted one to use on other things beside a toilet.

[@pinomostriny67]

Thanks for ur help.helps me a lot.

[@stanleyvo5198]

Mr Steven....where can I buy toilet pump like the one you used ? I did looking on eBay but they didn’t have

[@iflex1963]

Looks like he made it from pvc pipe...I use a 2 gallon wet vac...much quicker...

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

Nice job Steve

[@jimrodriguez4368]

Quick and easy! Very cool!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

justin henning thanks for watching

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Jim Rodriguez thanks for commenting

[@mauricehodder9594]

The end of the rubber tube the lets water go to the bowl should not be lower than the tank water level, as it will siphon the water from the tank.

[@LogiicCinema]

easy video to follow, will be fixing mine soon

[@kelleybunny]

i need to do this.. very helpful.. thank you :)

[@pp193569]

Good job!

[@codymon100]

Nice job that's the style I put in my house.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

codymon100 thanks for commenting

[@robinquery327]

thanks so much i think its time for a new toilet though its a bit rusty and dirty in your tank my tank is crystal clear water ...im gonna try this out ...

[@brandonkadir230]

what were the tools used?

[@naal4923]

i'm a little old lady who knows better than to mess with this. how much do you think a plumber would charge for to fix this fill valve?

[@bleachdrinked6141]

Na Al hi grandma

[@barbarariley3488]

Well they charge about $70.00 just to come to your house. So figure on about $150.00

[@annsappliance9456]

where can I get one of those hand pumps with the tube on the end to get the remaining water out of the tank? I could use one of those in my business

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Ms Ann wolverine brass they sell mostly to plumbers .its a toilet pump

[@annsappliance9456]

hey dude I do appliance repair and I had a client that was having a no water in the toilet issue. So i watched your video and went over there and fixed it. Thank you for helping me by posting this video.

[@leanorlando]

Came out good!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

leanorlando thanks willie

[@debbygmitchel1284]

do any of these guys explain what they are doing as they go

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Debby GMitchel a picture is worth a thousand words?????have you ever herd that saying ??

[@littlerosa]

+Debby GMitchel He can't talk while he's filming--THE CREEP IS FILMING WHILE REPAIRING A CUSTOMER'S TOILET! Otherwise, they would hear him talking while he's in there all by himself. I would think you could be arrested for that. By the way, he's also quite sexist.

[@trevorhayes1079]

Is your truck fixed

[@Carmine8822]

Great idea to get the water out

[@midabassue3928]

Thanks very useful

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Mida Bassue thanks for watching

[@Saratraveler]

can please write the name of the hose you changed please? I have same problem going on :D

[@camerongros]

happygirl It's just a braided water supply hose. You can get them at any hardware store.

[@jmejia1102]

I will try it tomorrow night!

[@LizIsHauntedMiddleton]

I had the floor fixed under my toilet. When I replaced the toilet it will not fill with water, though water flows from the little pipe into the tube (I can see it) the tank won't fill but only an inch of water. The toilet fill valve is only a couple of months old.

[@cherryanchorbbq7364]

So my toilet Is hardly filling but if I turn shutoff valve off then on it will fill up quick nonissue until you flush then happens again what could it be?older American standard

[@mosesnarayan7504]

What if you don't have the part how do you fix it?

[@harrydickson4575]

Great job Steve

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Harry Dickson thanks for watching harry

[@Believe30]

Mine won't fill with water and I replaced the fill valve. Any advice?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

probley blockage in the shutoff or supply

[@Believe30]

I only replaced the top of the fill valve because I couldn't get the nut off the bottom. Today, it seems to be intermittently working??? Thanks.@@stevenlavimoniere

[@lindaawesomejobasalwaysmor7093]

Thanks

[@joelaliberte2916]

will this fix a toilet that isn't filling at all? I flush and I don't hear any running water

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Joe Laliberte yes this and a new toilet water supply hose

[@lindagray1809]

I wish you had talked through what you were doing and why

[@Angela61406]

can i reset the hight once i lock it

[@cincinnatiohioplumber4754]

Why do you wear gloves?

[@fanboy2015]

I needed to replace the flapper on my toilet. I turned off the water valve, replaced flapper. But when I went to turn water valve back on, NO water. What did I do wrong?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

***** something with the washer in shutoff or fill valve . you will have to figure it out . by water flow .

[@ericdufort5648]

What's with the heavy breathing?

[@paulschultz3278]

Change old Universal Rundle toilets and put in a Kohler or a Toto toilet, that has to much debris and calcified, you need a whole bunch of vanisol to clean out the jets! No warranty!

[@haley458]

It would've been a little more helpful if you explained what you were doing & why as you went...

[@firstnamelastname6193]

Hearing you breath like that turned me on and now I can’t concentrate on fixing the toilet!!!!

[@abigailkemp2410]

whoaa, thats uncalled for 😁

[@barbarariley3488]

Lol ya I hear ya.

[@anpexroblox3371]

1:56 is that you or the toilet if it's you well that's very loud

[@romin388]

Why not use a cleaner toilet?

[@debbygmitchel1284]

To reply yes I have When I want some proper into to solve an issue as with yours it' made no sense what you were doing is a waste of time to sit and try to figure out Especially when others are great at explaining which I found. Completed my project as I had simply wanted. Just saying

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Debby GMitchel guys that follow me watch my videos every day . there way past basic stuff so,, maybe watch and you might learn some real plumbing work.if you can take it woman???i know your really busy super star and all.. .maybe you need to dust the house or make supper . eather way .lead follow or get out off the way. get a grip..

[@littlerosa]

+steven lavimoniere Maybe you should take some grammar lessons. And some lessons on what is and isn't legal regarding filming videos.

[@LogiicCinema]

Debby GMitchel this was way to simple, if you didn't learn just by watching, then I don't know what to tell you.

[@jackakif]

That echo 😂😂😂😂

[@HappySlayer81]

Oh so this isn't fixing the pump, just replacing it.

[@patmadix172]

Change flapper with ballcock .

[@VoiceOfValidity]

Dear Lord Jesus Christ Almighty, what happened to that poor toilet?

[@MsNitchie]

I flushed my toilet. Now its quiet. No water running to fill up, I here nothing at all.

[@8sonsanchor1914]

MsNitchie is the water on ?

[@Bigdaddy0622]

I can flush my toilet but it won't fill up. I have to turn the water off wait 5 sec then it will do the tank up

[@ConkerX4]

Wot m8

[@webpage4144]

D

[@harmonicsl]

steve is that siphon pump something you made or bought? dick bailey

[@sandrafleming6462]

A lot of heavy breathing, not any narration explaining exactly what you are doing nor proper picture of what you are doing - filthy toilet and while I'm not ignorant, this video very difficult to understand

[@kylenyc8945]

What a stupid place to put toilet paper

[@misstrissdotom7247]

3 things. 1. Thanks! 2. Omg - that looks gross. 3. Your breathing like a night stalker had me cracking up through the vid!

[@chriss1287]

????

[@brutus7081]

He was probably looking at your profile picture!!!!!
