    Water flows into overflow tube
    I have a Korky fill valve (with no float) and the water level in the tank is so high it drains into the overflow tube. It worked fine for years. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    Hey Harold,
    Pudgomey's asking how to adjust the ballcock, I don't think that any replacement parts are necessary, But thanks for the link, I added it to my data base, Tom

    Harold, He meant he didn't have a float ball. And wasn't familiar with the ballcock. The float's built in.

    extend upper tube to
    Proper height. Hand-tighten locknut. Top of
    Flush valve should be no more than 3/4"
    above water line marked in tank. Verify top
    of flush valve is at least 1" below bottom of
    Flush lever nut.
    The upper tube's the float and he simply wanted to know how to adjust it. Regards, Tom
