Fluidmaster® recommends Fluidmaster®’s 400A Universal Toilet Fill Valve is the #1 best-selling fill valve in the world! A universal design, with an adjustable height from 9″ to 14″ to fit most toilets. The 400A offers quick refill rates and replaces ballcocks and other toilet fill valves. A trusted and proven toilet fill valve, the 400A is built to last from corrosion-resistant materials for a long lifespan. This code approved, anti-siphon design, won’t contaminate the fresh water supply. Some toilet models not supported: Glacier Bay® or Niagara® Flapperless Toilets, One Piece Toilets. Does not replace Side Entry Valves. Fluidmaster’s late Founder invented the fill valve technology in 1958.

For best performance of your toilet, consider replacing the flapper along with the fill valve. Fluidmaster recommends the 400CR Repair Kit that has both the 400A fill valve as well as the 2 inch 501 flapper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toilets will the 400A work with?
- The 400A will work in older toilets dating as far back as the 1950’s. The 400A is one of the fastest filling valves in the market and will replace most antiquated technologies like Korky, Burlington Ballcocks, Delta Pro, Danco, and many others. Top toilet brands including: American Standard, Kohler, Gerber, Briggs, Mansfield, Vortens, Eljer, Western Pottery, Jacuzzi, and many more make 2 pc toilets (and some one piece toilets) that will fit the 400A.
How do I raise the water level inside the tank after I installed the 400A?
- Once the fill valve is installed you can adjust the water level by twisting the “Tank water level adjustment screw”. Turn Clockwise for more or a higher water level and Counterclockwise for less or a lower water level.
Why does my 400A keep turning on and off throughout the day & night?
- The fill valve is working properly and is not failing this action or sound is called the “Water Waste Signal”, you may know this more commonly as “Ghost Flushing”. This is the fill valves alert system and it is alerting you that the water inside the tank is leaking out on its own.

Are there any repair parts available for my 400A?

  Replacement Top Cap Assembly (model 385)
  
  Replacement Seal (model 242)
  
  Toilet Fill Valve Hardware (model 250)
Will the 400A work with my flapper?
- The 400A works independently from the flapper and will work with flapper valves
How can I tell if the 400A will work in my toilet?
- To ensure your toilet will work with the 400A simply measure the flush valve (overflow) pipe in the center of the tank. Measuring from the bottom of the tank to the top of the pipe. If the measurement is 6 inches or taller the 400A will fit the tank.
Can I use a filter with my 400A?
- Yes you can but Fluidmaster recommends against it. The 400A will let debris such as solder, rust, dirt and other minerals pass right through the valve. In situations where debris gets trapped inside the valve the top cap can be removed to purge or flush the contaminants out of the valve.
