Manufacturer's First Year Fill Valve Warranty:
TROUBLESHOOTING FILL VALVE
IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 14.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:
• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or misaligned (replace seal or flush valve).
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster
Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.

Recommended fitting type for back-to-back installations.
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow
from the FloWise in a back-to-back installation may create a
vacuum on the system and draw water from the opposing bowl.
The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use of a
cross fitting for drainage as throw over is possible. The code does
approve a directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting to direct
the water downward and away from the other toilet.
