 When
the tank lever's handle is pressed, it lifts the flapper/tank
ball by a chain/wire. This opens the flush valve and releases
water through the rim into the toilet bowl, where gravity
siphons the existing bowl water down the trap.
Once the tank is empty, the flapper/tank ball
drops back onto the flush valve seat, and the fill valve triggers
an influx of fresh water into the tank. The fill valve float
cup/float ball rises with the water until the preset refill
level is reached.
Basic Areas of Toilet Repair
FILL
FILL components refill the toilet tank after it has been emptied
by a flush.

the Fluidmaster valve works.
FLUSH
FLUSH components control the release of water from the tank
into the toilet bowl once the tank lever/handle has been pressed.
CONNECT
Most toilets CONNECT between areas like the water supply,
toilet bowl, seat or floor, and require special parts for
secure, durable attachment.
WARNING
The lifespan and effectiveness of the flush/fill components mentioned above
are impaired by in-tank toilet bowl cleaners containing chlorine. Such cleaners
create high levels of chlorine in the tank water, which can warp or corrode
tank parts, leading to leaks and potential property damage.
Use of in-tank chlorine cleaners will void Fluidmaster product warranties.
