Review on 🚽 Fluidmaster 242 Toilet Fill Valve Seal Replacement Part - Compatible with 400A Fill Valve, Black by Jim Bethea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This part can help you avoid a trip to the plumber

This great value Fluidmaster 242 is a simple little part that's prone to funny squeaks and leaks as it ages. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION and watch the old one when you remove it! Make sure you turn off the water before opening the top of the Fluidmater! Make sure the faucet in the wall stops all water flow. Mine didn't, but a little spray on me was worth the effort. Whatever you do, read the instructions! Don't wear it backwards! And be careful when inserting that little pin into the hole. I used a bright LED flashlight to make it easier to see what I'm doing. The plumbers hope you can't do the project. He was able to complete the whole project in 10 minutes!

Pros
  • Top marks from testers for support and durability
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
