I don't know what possessed you to create so detailed a video, but it was exactly what I needed to see to fix our toilet. (All I needed was a replacement gasket, and our neighborhood plumbing company was kind enough to give me just that one part.) I can only hope to pay my debt to you forward in some way. The world is a better place because of sharing souls like yourself. I salute you, sir.

@ajmoor 4 года назад

Hey Charlie! Fancy seeing you on this thread! Thanks to this video, I fixed my toilet in no time too.

@dewentarn 9 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I was having issues with the water flow "pulsing" when refilling the tank, and after watching your video and inspecting my fill valve, it looks like the diaphragm cap had simply degraded. Cost me just $3.25 for a new part and you saved me over $100 vs hiring a plumber!

@Canadatoffee 9 лет назад

Thanks to you, I went from no clue how to fix my toilet, to fixed with no hitches and little effort. Really appreciate the effort you put into helping others.

@bill30306 8 лет назад

would never have figured out all the twists and turns. thanks!

@netgrrrl 9 лет назад

Thanks so much--this was so very helpful! Always nice to see someone actually working their way through a project and all the glitches encountered and how you worked your way around them. Knowing I could take the flush valve cap off to see the float itself and how it was behaving helped me to set the height of the flush valve so that it wouldn't keep running and running. Turned out to be an easy fix! Seriously, many thanks!

@robj2946 9 лет назад

A Million thanks for this detailed and well shot video! We have the exact fill valve you worked with in the video (which had been making an annoying hissing sound) and you saved us time, effort and and a boatload of money with your demonstration. I will most definitely pay your kindness forward! Thank you, again!

@jdapdesign84 2 года назад

Great Job and very detailed without rushung through the process. Even the snafus, which we all run into, were comferting in that we all run into them. Thanks for $aving me hundreds of dollars. That means alot!

@dcreelman 4 года назад

I particularly appreciate that you showed the reality of how hard it can be to disassemble the parts. Some repair videos show things coming up easily which completely avoids the real problems one has with this kind of work.

@Mukdeni 3 года назад

So true

@DavidLee-sy6ul 4 года назад

Thanks. Although the video could use some editing for time, it was really helpful. My Toto tank was sputtering every time it refilled. Thanks to this video, I was able to disassemble/reassemble the valve and solve the problem simply by cleaning the components. This saved us a lot of money, will make us stop worrying, and my wife will think I'm a hero.

@craigkontny8439 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for this! My problem was sometimes it wouldn't fill with water. Got that cap with the red rubber valve for $4 and fixed it. Much less hassle than changing out the entire filler valve.... and much cheaper.

@shrinandan 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for doing this video. I learned a lot! I had to fortify myself with a martini, haha, but I completed every step. No, it didn't solve the hissing noise in my toilet that indicates that there is a leak. But it gave me confidence that I can replace the dang fill valve with a new one. Your effort was well worth it! Thanks again.

@ThomasPlace45 8 лет назад

Add me to the list of people this video has helped out! Thank you sir!

@wanalivlif 3 года назад

@davidcretsinger9285 6 лет назад

Thanks, big help. Turns out my original diaphragm had torn up. New replacement part was THU123 (as you stated) which was the cap/diaphragm assembly. New diaphragm is much stiffer. Works great again.

@brendahumphreys6964 3 года назад

@singha686 9 лет назад

Just want to say thanks for making this. It helped me to fix a problem I had on my Toto unit and saved me a lot of time and frustration.

@princesspiedra4152 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for putting up this video! My girlfriend, sister, and I were able to watch this and fix our leaking toilet. When we called the plumber they were going to charge us $50 just to look at it! Much appreciated!!!

@geraldmoniz9601 7 лет назад

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO.My father just recently passed away and literally everything has gone wrong since then, including both the toilets continuously running the water. This walked me through it perfectly and now its fixed. It may not seem like a big thing to some people but for what I've been going through lately, it was a small miracle!

@rdspam 6 месяцев назад

After a few years of similar servicing, and replacing $9 caps (the $5 rubber flap rarely solved it), I’ve learned to spend the $10 ($9.98 at Amazon as I type) and 15 minutes to just replace the entire unit. Every 5-7 years I replace each one, if it isn’t leaking before.

@StaciBurkey 7 месяцев назад

Dude! I have spent 4 months turning the water off after ever bowl refilled because my water bill uncreased SEVERAL HUNDRED dollars in a month due to a super quiet overflow issue. I had replaced the flapper gasket and that didn’t work. The toilet and its guts are only 4 years old so I knew something needed cleaned I didn’t have to replace the whole piece. THANK YOU! This tutorial was perfect.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 7 месяцев назад

hundreds of dollars? feel free to leave a super chat or paypal donation.. thanks

@ThaiKhmerDubbed 4 месяца назад

THANK YOU! I hear noise coming from the fill valve (korky) after water stopped filling the tank, but it didn’t fill to the full mark. Also notice water was still lightly flowing into the bowl. I did what you did in your video and it fixed my problem!!!

@OzarkFats 7 лет назад

Nice video. I had slime around the float ball. I toothbrushed top/bottom and was off to the races.

@TheDeckonroyd 9 лет назад

Good video...watch when removing tube from the nub of the diaphragm cap. Mine broke off, but I had to replace the cap anyways. Also had problems removing diaphragm cap from the valve, I had to use some needle nose pliers.

@TheSujewal 8 лет назад

I have a followup question. I cleaned all parts. Flush was quiet but after a week became even louder. There is a hissing/whining noise when the tank is filling. Is this a symptom that the noise reducer needs to be replaced? Or something else? Should I just replace the whole unit? Any advice would be appreciated!

@docsvv 11 месяцев назад

Hey you’re awesome! Thanks for this video especially the part about how tough the cover getting off is. I would have given up if you hadn’t shown a bit of struggle as well. Mine works perfect again. I just left the stupid blue cover off 😂

@junebugstar 8 лет назад

Wow - I fixed my first toilet! Thank you for your clear directions. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. You are a fantastic teacher!

@PooranKanta 6 лет назад

Hi.i am looking at your video, and saw the flapper is similar to what I am trying to locate, it is a Toto 9Au001 drain valve body,complete with flapper.and advise or recomendation will be welcome.

@johncade9338 3 года назад

Thank you for such a detailed repair video. However, the rubber padbon the float arm is key. If it has deteriorated, as mine had, the fix still won't work, as you discovered. It would check this first. I replaced the gasket and it was still not shutting off so I gently popped mine out that little pad and turned it over...problem fixed. It may appear a bit crumbly on the surface but the underside was still solid. Down the road I'll have to replace it too, but it works.

@JamesRichardWiley 3 года назад

I prefer Fluidmaster valves for $10.00. Much easier to work with. 30 years in plumbing.

@pjdmiller 6 лет назад

Thank you. fill valve was on/off as the tank filled, watched your video, removed cap, gasket torn, getting a korky replacement cap for $4. Saved time and money.

@w.patterson4413 4 месяца назад

I missed removing the float ball on the video.. I've replaced the fill gasket and the toilet is still hissing. What's the purpose of the ball? Could it be the float ball that isn't seating that's causing the slight opening of the valve, hence the hissing? Oh, and great video. A tripod or head mount would help the viewers and speed up the video.

@robmckee5295 5 лет назад

That is my exact toilet and fill valve. My problem is the opposite, the toilet wouldn't fill. I wiggled the blue cap and it started working again. I'll take a closer look at it when I get home. Right now, I'm watching this one a break at work. I'll bet everyone who is watching this is probably not having a great day.

@obamaking2146 3 года назад

Excellent and very useful video. Thank you. The only issue I have you haven't shown how to get that pesky little float-ball out to check & clean it. I cannot for the life of me get this stupid little ball out. How do we get it out? Many thanks again 👍

@johnclark6359 2 года назад

After working my way through this loooong video, my valve got worse. It’s better just to get a new valve for $15, which will work properly for a long time

@Onevsamillion 9 месяцев назад

Years later, this video saved my bacon as well! I thank you for your service 🫡

@jimprevo 8 лет назад

Ditto here. Mine just needed cleaning. My fill valve would delay before filling. We'd flush and then hear silence for a few seconds. Then the fill valve would start to work. The key for me was knowing how to remove the diaphragm cap after removing the blue cover. Next was cleaning the filter which I have done on another Toto very successfully. Once I cleaned my filter and a little coating of slime (well water) from my rubber diaphragm and the tiny hole, that did the trick for me.

@nononsenseBennett 3 года назад

It's always good practice to apply clear plumbers grease to the rubber components. This will lubricate but also provide a barrier to the chlorine in the water which attacks the rubber.

@houstontexas9463 5 лет назад

You don't even need to do all this to fix your issue.. Leave the water on while doing this and you'll know where your problem is once it starts filling (sucking again).

@urobob 3 месяца назад

For $10.50, why go through this whole process when replacing the entire unit is inexpensive and much easier?

@curtisbuettner1932 4 года назад

I love this video and this guy and this channel. However I think I snapped the hose I have a very similar unit called the antisiphone. It looks exactly the same. Anyways I looked and there didn’t seem to be a mechanism that actually connects the hose other than plastic. I barely moved mine however which may mean it needs replacing anyways. Puddly thing..

@paulharvey7278 Год назад

this is amazing, unlike all the 2 minute videos where everything works perfectly, you have all the problems that we have so it's actually realistic!

@KlaraCollins1972 9 лет назад

Your informative video is very thorough, thanks to you I was able to fix my similar situation. Thank you again.

@brgprivee3097 8 лет назад

@markplese5384 Месяц назад

As of 2024, you can buy the whole assembly for $22 and just fully replace it if you can shoulder that cost

@lh5750 Год назад

Thank you! My issue was that water would not shut off automatically and kept going into the overflow then to the toilet below. I have a fairly new unit. After removing the plastic top and the plastic lever, I saw sediment in the small reservoir and no water coming in to push the lever up. All I needed to do was to clean the reservoir and the ball to let water in to push up the lever to stop the water intake.

@edwardcave1947 8 месяцев назад

Try to buy parts in 2024 for this Toto/ Korky/ whatever in Canada, just buy a new one

@TheDrillMaster001 5 лет назад

Outstanding! Thank you for such great detail. A little long, but we'll worth it. No more leaks for us! And to the 185 know-it-alls, you didn't have to watch it or thumb the video down - or, did this just take some business away from you?

@dangesus 5 лет назад

I too learned how a toilet works from this. I have no idea what I did other than take it apart, clean the gasket and reinstall everything and it works. In a rental house, is toto super cheap? Seemed really cheap.

@jerand42 Год назад

Great video! I've referred back to this video a few times over the years since I always forget how to take apart of the fill flush valve in my Toto!

@heatherclyde2474 10 лет назад

It worked! There was some sand like deposits in the white filter stick thing. I cleaned it out, put it all back together and it works fine now. Saved a trip to Home Depot!

@kevinmcfadden9553 2 года назад

Thanks. This video REALLY helped me a lot. Took mine apart cleaned everything and now it works. BTW mine would run for two seconds then shut off, run, shut off, run, shut off...until it was full.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 2 года назад

Nice work!

@goranlazarev9694 3 года назад

Thank you for the video I had sudden problem of water filling very slow. I didn’t have to replace anything. I checked for mineral buildup, which wasn’t the issue. I used pin to check that little hole and it was ok. Only issue I found was small metal particle in the filter. After removing it and putting everything back, the full water flow was back. Thank you for detailed video and explanation of the parts.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 3 года назад

good job!!

@SusieQs23 2 года назад

This was super helpful. This didn’t fox my problem but the detail and actually video footage was helpful. I have another issue but I am saving this bc now I know how to disassemble my full valve. Thank you for taking the time to shoot and share!!

@LEARNINGCHORDS 2 года назад

thank you miss 23

@catherineroth8241 4 года назад

This video saved us! Our problem was water not coming into the tank--water supply was fine so what the heck? I was able to take the valve apart...didn't find any blockage though I expected to since we are on well water...but a little centipede crawled out when I took the valve apart and voila, when I put it back together it worked just fine! Thank you thank you thank you.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 4 года назад

you are most welcome miss C

@Joe-z6c1s 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the detailed video! I am also having a difficult time removing the diaphragm cap. In the video, you were able to remove it, but did not mention if you used a tool or just brute force. I am concerned I may break the unit as it is not budging. Any advice?

@LEARNINGCHORDS 8 месяцев назад

turn off the water and do what you need to do.. if you call a plumber they will turn it and get it out for $200. if you have the water off and break it, you can buy replacement parts at the store- or you can pay someone to use brute force and break it and then put in the same parts

@BranthW 2 года назад

@bruceotruba3324 8 лет назад

I didn't have anything near the difficulties you had dissembling my unit; mine took about 5 - 10 minutes. Good job on the demo of taking it apart. I just had to clean mine out; filter was clogged.

@mswards 8 лет назад

I really liked how you showed the first time through, even with the difficulties. Those are educational, too.

@Savageman32 2 года назад

The Korky water valve I have was filling SO SLOW and I had no idea how to clean this thing as we are on a well and sediment buildup is common. Thanks to your video I was able to take it apart and clean that long screen as it was full of sand/sediment. Works like new now. Thanks!

@LEARNINGCHORDS 2 года назад

enjoy

@mcampbell4914 3 года назад

Helpful video even if you did not solve your given problem. My problem was the opposite of yours in that my valve was shutting off too soon. After watching some of the difficulty you encountered I decided, knowing sod's law, that I would likely break something if I tried to fix the unit within the tank. I therefore replaced it for a spare fluid master unit. I then attempted to fix the unit, following your video, in the hope of reusing it at some point in the future. It was difficult to remove many of the components even with it out of the tank, so good job on your part. Also, I would never have found the little hole on top as you pointed out. Good job

@donnieingram8972 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. That little rubber piece in the float arm (the you were afraid would disintegrate if you flipped it) was my problem. It had worn in the center. Flipped it, problem solved.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 3 года назад

Thanks for the info!

@g-low9812 2 года назад

Dude you are a lifesaver this was causing my pipes to rattle because the valve was never closing fully. I have a toto Entrada newer model. Took it apart, it was alittle different compared to yours. My filter was full of debris , cleaned the filter works like new again. Thanks so much.

@LEARNINGCHORDS 2 года назад

@lyonsjsph 9 лет назад

I appreciate the time and effort you made on this video. The complexity of fixing these newer units compared to how they used to be is crazy. Given the cost of replacing the float assembly, I'm sure I will just do that. I'm very glad to know how this thing works though.

@jackandsophia 9 лет назад

@SY-yw7nm 9 лет назад

Thanks for the helpful video. It took about 20 minutes to fix. My toilet would start filling about 1 to 2 minutes after each flush and then fill very slowly. It turns out that there was sediment in the white comblike filter. That slowed the water drain to initiate the filling cycle. Although the video was long, it saved me time/frustration/uncertainty during the repair since I'm a newbie at this stuff. I didn't even try removing the flexible tube. Saved money and time since I didn't have to go to the store, replace the fill valve, mop the floor, and recalibrate.

@SY-yw7nm 9 лет назад

Before putting everything back together, I flushed out the fill valve by holding a plastic container upside-down over the valve and turning on the water for a few seconds.

@sandral2261 5 месяцев назад

@Paul-qn4vd 2 года назад

15 year old Toto Drake was surging when toilet filled. Purchased a R528 replacement cap before beginning the process. The diaphragm was messed up. I cleaned everything up; replaced cap. Reattached hose (newer model so it came off; sorry yours didn't. Made the process much easier in the narrow confines). Seems to have worked perfectly thanks to your excellent video.

@michaelfagan5229 8 месяцев назад

Nice job on the video, appreciate it. I've worked on all different brands of fill valves before, but this was my first time working on a Toto. Spending some time watching your video told me exactly what I needed to know before tearing into a Toto fill valve. Armed with your info and new parts, it took me a whole.....10 minutes to basically rebuild my Toto fill valve. Only thing I would add, removing the flush lever is quick and simple. After you do, gives you just a little bit more working room.

@jblackjack 4 года назад

Excellent instructional video! My gasket needed replacement. Bought a Korky replacement cap that is a perfect fit for the Toto cap. It’s a complete cap and gasket. PN: R528FR. for $8.35 CDN. Alternate PN: Korky 528CF Ballcock repair kit.

@timtamcamcade 6 лет назад

I've never once commented on a video, but here goes.... thank you! My toilet was "shuttering" as it would fill up. I ordered a a new TPU123 part, and boom! Fixed! Thank you!

@user-power_electronics 5 лет назад

Thank you very much for your repair instruction. I replaced the flapper and the water still overflow. Remove and replace with Korky valve replacement. It works, yeahhh...

@Fourcycle 5 лет назад

Good video and you put a lot of time and effort into it. Thanks! But I think it goes a little too far, to the point where the unit can not be repaired without going much deeper. At 11:55 where the "diaphragm seat" "noise reduction / filter" tube is removed, I advise not to remove this tube! Mine came out and was a snug fit, but when I put it back in, it was a very loose fit. Like his experience, I was not able to repair my fill valve. My diagnosis was that now water was able to flow between the skinner inner filter tube and the outer tube it slides into. This was born out when I replaced the entire fill valve with a new and identical Korky unit. When I unthreaded the bottom fitting to the supply line, a little O-ring and ~5/8" long plastic spacer fell out. These parts are needed to seal the inner tube to the outer tube and fell out and dropped to the bottom when I pulled the two apart. I advise: Don't remove this tube! The diaphragm in this video should not be sitting on top of the diaphragm seat. It should be a tight fit in the top of the cap that fits onto the diaphragm seat. the little hole he clears with a paperclip is part of a pilot valve. The other part of the pilot valve is the little rubber pad in the arm of the float chamber. It can be removed and turned over to expose a fresh surface. I did it with mine. When the pilot valve closes, the little bit of water coming out of pilot valve builds up pressure on the back side of the diaphragm and closes of the water supply to the toilet tank. If the pilot valve can not close, or if there is another leak elsewhere, pressure behind the diaphragm can not build up to close off the water flow to the tank. Korky makes the kit that replaces the diaphragm assembly and it also fits the Toto GMAX / Hunter / Korky unit. These fill valves are very common, inexpensive and work well in my opinion. My 2¢ worth...

@PhilipLee64 7 лет назад

I know others have already thanked you... but THANK YOU, again. My problem was a "gulping/screeching sound" when refilling the tank after the flush. I thought I had to replace the whole fill value so I bought one for $26 at the local plumbing. Got home and realized my style Toto makes it virtually impossible to unscrew the nut as there's almost no access. I think I would have to remove the whole toilet! Anyways, I carefully watched your video. There was some build up and a small metal piece in the filter. I just flushed 3 times and seems to have done the trick. I really appreciate all the detail and the patience in making the video and this saved my from hiring a plumber, and I can return the $26 replacement.

@frazier85044 7 лет назад

If it's just the diaphragm that's bad, you can buy a Korky replacement diaphragm assembly (includes housing cover and rubber diaphragm) at Home Depot for $3.75. Fits perfectly in the Toto fill tube, and takes 60 seconds to install.

@MichelleShemancik 6 лет назад

Learningcords I have nothing except my old American standard to compare it to, but I thought it had more flushing power than that old thing & it definitely fills up faster. The plumber installed this one. I did not do any research on toilets beforehand like I usually do on some purchases. With more negative responses on either the toilet or the fill valve, which specific toilet do you know to be significantly better? Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed video. I got mine apart in less than 10 min. Unfortunately my rubber gasket was shot so ended upon having to get a replacement. The Korky Quiet Fill Platinum works just fine with a Toto ST784S toilet. Also picked up the Toto Universal flapper by Korky as my flapper was in sad shape. All good now!

My toilet would not fill after my well ran dry and sediment got into my water supply. Your video, painful though it was to watch, made it possible for me to clean out the Toto valve. I could never have figured it out myself. Thanks!
