설정 및 설치
필요한 도구:
- 조정 가능한 플라이어 또는 렌치
- Bucket or towel for water collection
단계별 설치:
- 물 공급을 차단하세요: Locate the water supply valve on the wall near the base of the toilet. Turn it clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
- Drain the Toilet Tank: Flush the toilet to empty most of the water from the tank. Use a sponge or towel to remove any remaining water.
- 전원 공급 라인을 분리하십시오: Use pliers or a wrench to loosen the nut connecting the water supply line to the bottom of the old fill valve. Place a bucket underneath to catch any residual water.
- 기존 주입 밸브를 제거하십시오. Unscrew the locknut from the underside of the toilet tank that secures the old fill valve. Carefully lift the old fill valve out of the tank.
- Adjust New Fill Valve Height: The Fluidmaster 400A-019 is height adjustable (9" to 14"). Hold the new fill valve next to the old one or inside the tank to determine the appropriate height. Twist the lower section of the valve to extend or retract it until the top of the fill valve cap is approximately 3 inches above the top of the overflow pipe. This ensures proper backflow prevention.
- 새 주입 밸브를 설치하세요: Insert the new Fluidmaster fill valve into the hole at the bottom of the toilet tank. Ensure the pre-installed shank washer is properly seated. From underneath the tank, hand-tighten the locknut onto the brass shank. Do not overtighten.
- 급수관을 연결하세요: Reconnect the water supply line to the brass shank of the new fill valve. Hand-tighten first, then use pliers or a wrench for a final snug turn. Be careful not to overtighten, especially if using a plastic connector. A metal connector is recommended for the brass shank.
- Connect Refill Tube: Attach the refill tube to the small port on the top of the fill valve. Secure the other end of the refill tube to the overflow pipe using the provided refill clip. Ensure the tube is positioned to direct water into the overflow pipe. You may need to trim the refill tube to the appropriate length.
- 물 공급을 켜십시오: Slowly turn the water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet tank. Check for any leaks around the connections.
- 수위 조절: Allow the tank to fill. The water level should be about 1/4 inch below the top of the overflow pipe. If adjustment is needed, turn the water level adjusting screw on the top of the fill valve (marked "TANK WATER +/-") to raise or lower the float cup until the desired water level is achieved.

작동 지침
The Fluidmaster 400A-019 fill valve operates automatically to refill your toilet tank after each flush. The water level is controlled by the float cup and can be adjusted to optimize water usage.
Adjusting Water Level:
- To adjust the water level, locate the water level adjusting screw on the top of the fill valve.
- Turn the screw clockwise to lower the water level in the tank, reducing water usage per flush.
- Turn the screw counter-clockwise to raise the water level in the tank, increasing water volume per flush.
- Ensure the water level remains approximately 1/4 inch below the top of the overflow pipe to prevent continuous running and ensure proper backflow prevention.
