my toilet was leaking from 2 spots and lacking bad. The 2 pics are of what broke the water line and the fill valve. the rubber seal on the fill valve was cracked and the lone had a pin hole in it

Turn Off Water and Flush Toilet (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)

pretty simple just make sure the rubber seal is tight and don't screw it too tight

Attach Water Lines

In picture 5 is the adapter that was needed to fit the line on and in picture 1 I hooked up the drainage tube.

Attach the Floater

after you get everything else together turn the water on and make sure it will stop at the fill line

Make Any Necessary Adjustments

Do a few test flushes and now you're done
