Adjust the armature by loosening the screw. Move the armature up or down to shorten or lengthen the distance of the float ball to the water. Short distances allow for a higher level of water. Tighten the screw.

Step 3

Bend the metal armature to raise or lower the float ball. Reattach the bent armature to the valve.
