The service life of the toilet filling valve is about five years, sometimes longer, depending on the quality of the valve, the frequency of toilet flushing, and the quality of the domestic water supply.
Like any valve that is frequently exposed to water, the filling valve may eventually become clogged or leaking. Fortunately, replacing the toilet filling valve is a simple DIY project, and today’s universal filling valve is suitable for the most common toilet types.
It is usually a good idea to replace the toilet’s baffle assembly at the same time that the toilet valve is replaced, so many water injection valves are provided as a kit, which also includes the baffle.
If your toilet tank is hissing or filling slowly, one of the following replacement valves can help you get back to its best condition.
Replace only the water filling valve or use the Korky repair kit to replace the entire water filling and flushing assembly in the toilet tank. The kit has a universal design and is suitable for all toilets with standard 2-inch baffle openings. The kit includes a water injection valve, a flush valve, a high-quality baffle made of durable rubber, a new tank-to-bowl gasket, complete installation instructions and all necessary hardware.
The kit is designed to fit most toilet tanks and allows you to adjust the valve height to adjust the amount of water in the tank. This valve is self-cleaning-hard water deposits usually do not adhere to its corrosion-resistant materials-so it can be used for many years.
Fluidmaster’s replacement water injection valve is suitable for most toilets, and its refilling speed is twice as fast as traditional water injection valves. This means that the valve can be flushed again soon after the first flush-this is a boon for large families with a limited number of bathrooms. Although powerful, the Fluidmaster fill valve is quiet and adjustable, so you can choose the water level in the tank that best suits you.
