FAQs

What is the primary function of the diaphragm washer?

The diaphragm washer seals the fill valve, preventing water from leaking into the bowl.

Which Fluidmaster fill valve models is this diaphragm washer compatible with?

This diaphragm washer is compatible with Fluidmaster 400-series and 747-series fill valves only.

How do I know if my diaphragm washer needs replacing?

Signs of a failing diaphragm washer include a constantly running toilet or fluctuating water levels in the bowl.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No special tools are generally required, but you may need a screwdriver to access the fill valve components.

How do I turn off the water supply to the toilet?

Locate the shut-off valve, usually a small handle, on the water supply line behind the toilet. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water.

Where can I find the model number of my fill valve?

Troubleshooting

Toilet running continuously after installation.
