When you need to replace the toilet tank fittings, you have to disassemble the old fittings to fit the new fittings in. However, it is not an easy thing to disassemble the tank accessories, and you need to pay attention to a lot of details, otherwise it will lead to problems such as toilet leakage. VIB introduces you to the method of disassembling toilet tank accessories to help you solve this problem easily.
Before disassembling the toilet tank fittings, first close the water inlet source of the tank and drain the water in the tank.
Remove the inlet valve: If you are replacing the inlet valve of the toilet tank fitting, you need to remove the inlet hose before doing so. The inlet hose is a bridge to undertake the water inlet of the water tank, and to remove the inlet hose, you need to start from the inlet hose and the inlet valve inlet port, and unscrew the nut of the inlet hose with your hand or wrench. After removing the inlet hose, it is also necessary to loosen the inlet nut that holds the inlet valve in place, and separate the inlet nut and gasket so that the inlet valve can be removed from the tank.
Disassembling the drain valve: There are two types of drain valve disassembly: split toilet disassembly and one-piece toilet removal. If the toilet at your home is a split toilet, then to remove the drain valve, you need to unscrew the connecting bolts that hold the water tank to separate the water tank from the toilet base, and then loosen the nut that holds the drain valve base from the outside of the water tank and take out the drain valve.
If it is a one-piece toilet, you need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the drain valve, separate the drain valve body from the base, loosen the screws that fix the base with a Phillips screwdriver (be careful not to loosen all of them to avoid the U-hook falling into the drain port), and take out the drain valve base.
The above are the detailed steps to disassemble the toilet tank accessories, with the right way and method can make the disassembly process easier and safer. When repairing or replacing your toilet tank, be sure to follow the relevant safety regulations and take appropriate precautions.
