Replacing Toilet Fill Valve
fill valve
- The fill valve is located in a commode water tank. It is a liquid level-actuated valve that regulates the amount of water dispersed from the tank to the bowl.
- (Fill Valves) A location on the tube through which you can inflate or deflate the tube. These valves are spring loaded to close and contain the air inside the tubes. The valve can also be turned to an “OPEN” position to quickly evacuate the tube of air when preparing to transport the boat.
- An electro-mechanical device that opens a valve to allow water to flow. The electric current causes a magnetic field to develop in the solenoid coil which in turn then moves a metallic plunger. The plunger is attached to a diaphragm which opens the valve.

Thanks to the much harder, brittle material, the cuts around the toilet are not as tight as the ones made in the cement board and the plywood, but the toilet should cover it up. The tile saw (see later photos) was used to rough cut the corners and then a tile nibbler was used to make things fit right.
pre
I originally assumed the toilet leak was due to a faulty wax ring, but it turns out the fill valve cracked, water trailed down the corroded hose and to the front of the toilet. No dry rot or floor damage, thankfully.
