Does the fill valve go into the overflow tube?

While the tank is refilling a small amount of water is also going from the Fill Valve through the Refill Tube into the Overflow Tube. The Overflow Tube empties directly into the toilet bowl. If it weren’t for the Refill Tube there would be only a small amount of water in the bottom of the bowl.

Where should water come out of fill valve?

On some float cup valves, there is a plastic screw mechanism you can turn to raise or lower the float. In any case, the water level should be about 1 inch below the top of the overflow tube and the critical level mark on the fill valve.

How do you change the fill valve on a toilet?

To select the correct insert, check the color on the old fill valve being replaced, and use the same color on the new valve.
