Fitting Instructions for the Homebase Bottom Entry Quiet Ball Valve
Fitting a Homebase Bottom Entry Quiet Ball Valve into a toilet tank is needed when the old ball valve wears out in order to keep the toilet working properly. The ball valve is designed to shut the water supply off inside the tank when it reaches the correct water level. The Homebase Quiet ball valve is very similar to most other ball valves with the water running into the toilet tank from the bottom of the tank. Does this Spark an idea?
