IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK
SLOWLY, repeat Step 12.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS
OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:
• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe,
below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow
pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or
misaligned with tank ball or flapper (replace with a
new flapper).
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or
REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been
in use for some time, Fluidmaster Model 242
Replacement Seal may be needed.
