Replacing Shutoff On Older Trailer

[Larry_David]

Guys mother in law needs her toilet shutoff replaced...it's in a double wide trailer...not sure of the year but I think '95 or so...her toilet was constantly running , so she would use the shut off when not in use, then when it need flushed, valve turn back on...obviously this and the fact that it is an old valve caused it to fail...now she needs me to replace the valve, was needing advice on the best way to fix it...well, best and easier on the pocket..I can handle the repairs but I've never dealt with these in a trailer...also the original problem of toilet constantly leaking, I think might have been a bad flapper valve...she has bought a couple of kits from a big chain store, but the "universal" type are too big or tall to fit this toilet...I took a couple of pics, hope I can add them without needing a certain amount of posts.
Any advice is greatly appreciated...I was thinking shark bite or gator bite , never used one but kinda understand how they work.

That's the last one that was installed and it never worked right..the one in the box would work but the ball cock "stem" is too long for these little toilets...so she went with the one that is installed and it never worked right, think it was t adjust properly or something...water would still constantly run..or it could have been the flapper...I don't know I'm getting this second hand and trying to get it done right for her as she is almost 70 and it's the toilet in her master bath..only here a couple more days and I'd like to get it working for her...she has been using a bucket of water to flush

What kind of toilet does she have? Look and see if there is a name on it somewhere and there should be some numbers under the lid or in the tank.

All I see are the initials WC

Here is a link to the fluidmaster web site. Maybe you can find another fill valve like you have:

Or a Korky 528, which is more compact.

Do her a favor and hit that whole area with some Tilex, or bleach, and kill all the black mold.

Thanks for those links...but first I have to get the shut off valve replaced, I don't know how much slack I have in the line until I crawl under the house..but I'm not sure whether I could cut the line and use a shark/gator bite....what kind of valve would be best as far as cost effective, ease of installation, etc..I'm not the best plumber but I am pretty handy so I can handle it...just not gonna be here long and want to get it fixed for her
