Anti-Siphon Fill Valve
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Shut off water supply to tank; flush toilet and remove remaining water from tank with
sponge.
2. Unthread existing coupling nut and lock nut; then detach refill tube from overflow tube.
Remove old fill valve assembly from tank. (FIG. 1)
3. Remove cone washer from center of shank washer (included in package contents) and set
aside. Place new shank washer, flat side up, onto threaded shank of new fill valve - flat
against flange. (FIG. 2)
4. Position new fill valve in tank as shown (FIG. 3). Float, connecting rod and control lever of fill
valve must NOT touch toilet tank walls. In addition, be sure that nothing interferes with float
or linkage of the fill valve.
5. To secure fill valve into position, hold body of fill valve, not the float, and thread new lock nut
onto threaded shank of fill valve. Push downward on cap while tightening the lock nut. Hand
tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
6. Identify the type of water supply nosepiece of current water hookup from illustrations noted
below. If new cone washer and coupling nut are necessary, both have been supplied.
• FLAT (illustration A) - use existing coupling nut and washers. May be necessary to install new
washers (not included) to ensure a water-tight seal.
• CONE - shape w/ flange on the tube (illustration B) - use cone washer and coupling nut
supplied in package.
• CONE - shape w/ corrugated tubing (illustration C) - use existing cone washer and/or friction
ring with new coupling nut supplied. Supply tube MUST extend 1/2 IN. inside threaded shank.
CAUTION: Replace cone washer if it shows signs of brittleness or loss of pliability.
Cone washer supplied CANNOT be used in this installation - it will not provide the
proper seal. (illustration C)
• PLAIN (illustration D) - use existing friction ring with cone washer and coupling nut included in
package. Supply tube MUST extend 1/2 IN. inside threaded shank.
7. Hand tighten coupling nut. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. DO NOT use a wrench or similar tool
to tighten coupling nut.
CAUTION: Over tightening plastic lock nut or coupling nut may crack or damage nut or
fill valve resulting in a water leak and potential flooding.
8. Attach one end of refill tube to nipple on fill valve. Slide "S" - shaped clip onto other end of
refill tube; clip onto inside edge of overflow tube so that refill tube will discharge into overflow.
NOTE: Be certain that refill tube does not interfere with operation of float, connecting rod or
control lever. (FIG. 3)
9. Turn on water supply and allow tank to fill - fill valve will shut off when cycle is complete.
Water level should be 1" to 1-1/2" below top of overflow tube. For proper anti-siphon
operation, the Critical Level mark on fill valve, noted by a "CL" on fill valve body, MUST
be 1" above the over flow tube. If CL level is not in correct position with overflow tube;
adjust height of fill valve. See instruction #10.

10. ADJUST WATER LEVEL in tank to recommended height by rotating valve body 1/4-turn in
the FREE (counterclockwise) direction as noted on fill valve cap. Push down to break seals
loose as they may tend to stick.
• To RAISE the water level - pull up to desired height then rotate valve body 1/4-turn clock
wise in the LOCK direction to lock new position into place.
• To LOWER the water level - press down on valve body to desired height. Rotate valve body
1/4-turn clockwise in the LOCK direction to lock new position into place. (FIG 4)
• To FINE TUNE water level - squeeze the tabs of the float adjustment clip on the lift arm and
slide float up or down as necessary. Sliding the float UP will raise the water level; DOWN
will lower the water level. Be careful not to slide the adjustment clip off the end of the lift
arm. (FIG. 5)
11. Flush toilet and allow tank to refill to determine results of adjustments; make further
adjustments as needed.
12. Check coupling nut and lock nut for leaks. If leak appears, further tighten nuts. If leak
continues, turn off water supply and flush toilet to empty tank. Remove nut, realign washer
and retighten connections.
13. CHECK FILL VALVE FOR TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION:
• Does the fill valve shut off? If not, check…
(A) the float, connecting rod and control lever - do they operate without touching toilet tank
wall or interfere with the refill tube. If so, adjust accordingly.
(B) the flapper - is it seated properly? If not, reseat flapper into position.
(C) the water level - does it rise higher than 1-1/2" below the top of the overflow tube? If so,
see #10 to adjust water level.
• Does the tank fill? If not, check…
(A) the water supply valve - is it open? If not, turn handle of water supply counterclockwise
to open valve and allow flow of water to toilet.
(B) the refill tube - is it properly fastened to the top inside edge of the overflow tube? Are
there other components that interfere with the refill tube’s operation? Adjust accordingly.
(C) the flapper - is it seated properly? If not, reseat flapper into position.
• Does the fill valve shut off with a loud noise (water hammer)? If yes, check…
(A) the water supply valve - partially closing the water supply valve will reduce the flow rate
and eliminate the hammer sound.

1. Shut off water supply to toilet and flush to remove water from tank.
2. If replacing tank-type ball, remove lift wires, ball and guide arm.
3. Remove worn flapper ball from adaptor on the overflow tube.
4. You’re ready to install your Hornet flapper.
A. Douglas Flush Valves (FIG. 6)
1. Slip the ring (FIG. 7) over the overflow tube (bulb down) until it reaches the bottom
of the tube. Adjust flapper so that bulb is centered over valve opening.
B. New style plastic flush valves (with protruding pins) (FIG. 8)
1. Ears at each side of flapper are then slipped over the protruding pins (FIG. 8) at the
base of the overflow tube.
C. Crane Flush Valves
1. Place slot on rear of flapper (FIG. 9) over protrusion in Crane tank.
5. Attach plastic chain to tank lever arm. Keep chain slack to minimum in closed position
and cut chain to length. Be sure that plastic guard is down and covers hook to avoid
chain from kinking.
6. Turn water supply on.
NOTE: Use abrasive cloth or steel wool on surface of brass flush valve opening to
remove pits, etc.
