Best Answer

either right below the toilet or if you want to shut it off before that valve you have to shut off the water before it goes into the house.

Depends on the type of "toilet"A tank and bowl or a one piece normally has a shut off on the left side below the tank.

A flushometer type has either a knob or an angle valve that needs a flat screw driver to shut it

When I turned on valve to toilet after being off for a while no water is filling the tank?

Make sure your main water is turned on by turning on another sink or bath and if it is then turn your toilet valve off and on a couple times and see if any water comes out in your tank. If still no water is filling the tank then shut off the valve and take the supply tube off the valve and turn the valve on slowly to see if you have any water comming out. If still no water then your valve is plugged or your pipe to the valve is plugged which then you would need to clean out your valve or lines with the whole house water shut off. Sometimes I have seen that the plug is in between the valve an supply pipe connection and as soon i take the supply pipe off and turn on the valve it works just fine even when I put the supply pipe back to the toilet. I don't think it would be in your fill valve in your toilet tank unless you have pressure assist tanks and with them all you need to do is take out the screen inside them.

Where are shut-off valve?

In every home thee are a number of shut-off valves. Where the water pipe enters the house is the main shut off, usually beside the PRV, a bell shaped device for regulating the house pressure. This main cold line will then branch off to the water heater, bathrooms and kitchen. Each faucet and the water heater and the toilet will have a shut-off valve. The hot water line comes out of the top of the heater and goes to bathrooms and kitchen. Each hot faucet also has a shut-off valve under it.
