I'm sorry if the is the wrong place to ask for this but I have very little know how in these things and want to be sure.
I'm replacing the fill valve for my toilet and I haven't done it before, I can replace it easily enough but I have a question regarding the supply valve beneath the tank.
The home is a rental and apparently the handle to the supply valve broke prior to me moving in. I can still tighten and loosen the valve with a crescent wrench but I don't know when to stop loosening the valve and im worried due to it being broken (but functional) that I might over loosen it. It seems as if I can loosen it much more than I tightened it to shut it off in the first place.
I don't want to test it and break it without asking first, so does it have a firm stopping 'open' point without the handle or will I bust it by going too far. If not, how can I tell how open it should be to sufficiently fill the tank without being too slow?
Again I apologize if I'm in the wrong place but thank you in advance.
