Over time a toilet tank fill valve can fail and cause the toilet to
continuously run. This can damage a private septic system, and cost a small
fortune in water bills.
Removing an old toilet tank fill valve and installing a new tank fill valve
is easy to do.

All you may need for tools is an adjustable wrench to loosen the old toilet
tank fill valve locking nut.
To replace a toilet tank fill valve it is important to first shut off the
water and drain the water from the toilet tank. Then you can remove the supply
line and old toilet tank fill valve. After removing the old toilet fill valve
you can install the new one basically in reverse order. Just make sure to install the
flange washer at the base of the threaded shaft on the new toilet tank fill valve
unit.
Once you have replaced the toilet tank fill valve, reconnect the water supply
line and turn the valve back on. Check to make sure the toilet tank fills to
just below the top of the overfill tube before the fill valve shuts off. Also
make sure the float ball does not come in contact with the side walls or the
drain supply tube.
