4.4. Position New Flush Valve
Insert the new flush valve assembly into the drainage hole of the toilet tank, ensuring the gasket is properly seated. Secure the flush valve from underneath the tank using the provided nuts, tightening them firmly but without overtightening.
4.5. Reassemble Toilet Tank
Carefully place the toilet tank back onto the toilet bowl, aligning the bolts with the holes in the bowl. Secure the tank to the bowl using the nuts on the tank bolts. Reconnect the water supply line to the fill valve.
4.6. Test for Leaks
Turn on the water supply slowly and allow the tank to fill. Check for any leaks around the flush valve, gasket, and bolt connections. If leaks are present, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
5. Operation
This flush valve features a dual-flush mechanism designed for water conservation. The top push button typically has two sections for different flush volumes.
- Half Flush (Quick Drainage): Press the smaller, yellow half-circle button for a partial flush, ideal for liquid waste. This uses less water.
- Full Flush (All Drainage): Press the larger, blue half-circle button for a full flush, suitable for solid waste. This uses the full tank volume.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your flush valve and ensure optimal performance.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the flush valve and tank interior to prevent mineral buildup and debris accumulation, which can affect sealing and operation. Use non-abrasive toilet bowl cleaners.
- Inspect Gasket: Annually inspect the tank-to-bowl gasket for signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.
- Check Connections: Ensure all nuts and connections remain snug. Overtightening can cause damage, while loose connections can lead to leaks.
