3. Setup & Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your BrassCraft fill valve and flapper kit. Always ensure the water supply to the toilet is turned off before beginning any work.

1. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valve at the base of the toilet and turn it clockwise until the water flow stops. Flush the toilet to empty the tank.
2. Remove Old Fill Valve: Disconnect the water supply line from the bottom of the old fill valve. Unscrew the lock nut from underneath the tank and remove the old fill valve.
3. Prepare New Fill Valve: The fill valve can be adjusted in height from 9 to 14 inches using its patented 1/4-turn adjustment mechanism. Adjust the valve height to ensure the critical line (marked on the valve) is at least 1 inch above the top of the overflow tube when installed.
4. Install New Fill Valve: Insert the new fill valve into the hole at the bottom of the toilet tank. Secure it from underneath with the plastic lock nut, ensuring the rubber shank washer is properly seated for a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
5. Connect Refill Tube: Attach one end of the plastic refill tube to the fill valve's refill port and clip the other end to the top of the overflow tube using the metal "S" clip.
6. Install Hornet V Flapper: Remove the old flapper. Attach the new Hornet V Flapper to the overflow tube's ears. Connect the flapper chain to the flush lever, ensuring there is slight slack when the flapper is closed.
7. Reconnect Water Supply: Reconnect the water supply line to the plastic fill valve connector nut at the bottom of the new fill valve. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final 1/4 turn.
8. Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valve counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the toilet tank. Check for leaks around the fill valve and supply line connections.
9. Test Operation: Flush the toilet several times to ensure the fill valve fills the tank correctly and shuts off completely, and the flapper seals properly.

Note: Some rubber components, such as the gasket/washer, may appear as a single piece. If necessary, carefully separate these components as indicated in the detailed instructions provided with the product to form the required washer and conical shaped gasket for proper installation.

4. Operation

The BrassCraft BSSBCT020 fill valve operates by refilling the toilet tank with water after each flush. When the toilet is flushed, the water level in the tank drops, causing the float mechanism within the fill valve to activate. Water then flows into the tank until the desired water level is reached, at which point the float rises and signals the valve to shut off the water supply. The anti-siphon design ensures that tank water cannot flow back into your home's potable water system.

The Hornet V Flapper is designed for an effective seal, preventing water from continuously leaking into the bowl and ensuring a complete flush.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your toilet fill valve and flapper.

• Inspect for Leaks: Periodically check for any visible leaks around the base of the fill valve or the water supply line connection.
• Check Flapper Seal: Ensure the Hornet V Flapper creates a tight seal at the bottom of the tank. A poor seal can lead to a running toilet.
• Clean Components: Over time, mineral deposits can accumulate on internal components. If the fill valve becomes sluggish or fails to shut off completely, turn off the water supply and carefully disassemble the top cap of the fill valve to clean any debris or mineral buildup.
• Chlorine Tabs: This valve is designed to be compatible with chlorine tabs, which can help keep the toilet bowl clean. However, always ensure tabs are placed in the tank according to their manufacturer's instructions and do not obstruct the fill valve's operation.
