How to Fix a Leaking Toilet Inlet Valve?

1. Begin by turning off the water supply to the inlet pipe. 

2. Next, drain the water from the toilet tank and the bowl. For this, you can flush the toilet a few times and then hold down the handle ill all the water drains out.

3. With adjustable pliers or a wrench, disconnect the toilet tank’s supply lines. When you do so, ensure to have a bucket or towel to get hold of any remaining water that may come out in the process.

4. Check the supply lines for any damage, tear, etc. If you come across any damages, the line needs to be replaced. On the other hand, if there is a small hole, you can fix it using flex tape on the region to overcome leaking. 

5. If you see that the whole line is damaged, there is a need to replace the line. Measure the length of the previous pipe to buy the one of the right size. 

6. Connect the new pipe to the fill valve on the toilet tank by turning the nut in a clockwise direction till it is tight. You can take the help of pliers to tighten it further.

7. Reconnect the water supply line turn the shut-off valve in a counterclockwise direction till it opens completely and let the toilet tank fill up with water.

8. Switch on the water supply and run a test for leaks by flushing the toilet a couple of times and see that the supply line and the valve are free from any water drops. 

9. If you do come across any leaks, tighten the nuts even more and then check.
