FAQs
What size thread does this valve have?
The valve has a 1/2" thread size for the water inlet connection.
Is this valve suitable for low-level cisterns?
Yes, it is designed to be adjustable and suitable for most cisterns, including low-level ones, provided they have a 1/2" side feed.
Do I need any special tools to install this valve?
Basic plumbing tools such as an adjustable wrench may be needed to unscrew the old valve and tighten the new one. Ensure the water supply is turned off first.
How do I adjust the water level in the cistern?

What does 'maintenance-free' mean for this valve?
It means the valve is designed with durable components and a self-regulating mechanism that does not require regular lubrication or cleaning for optimal performance.
Can this valve be used in high-pressure systems?
While designed for typical UK domestic water pressures, it's always advisable to check the product's specific pressure rating if you have unusually high or low water pressure.
What is the height of the valve?
The valve has a height of 10 inches.
Troubleshooting
Valve is not filling the cistern
Ensure the main water supply is turned on and that the 1/2" inlet connection is secure and free of blockages.
Cistern is overfilling
Adjust the valve's height mechanism to lower the shut-off point. Check that the float is moving freely.
Water continues to run after filling
Ensure the valve is seated correctly and the sealing washer is intact. Check for any debris preventing a proper seal.
Noisy operation or water hammer
This valve is designed to prevent these issues. If they persist, check for external plumbing problems or ensure the valve is installed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the water supply to the cistern is turned off before commencing. Unscrew the old valve and install the new Inter-Sano valve using its 1/2" side thread. Adjust the height as needed for your specific cistern to achieve the desired water level. Turn the water supply back on and test the valve for proper filling and shut-off.
Compatibility: This valve is specifically designed for cisterns with a 1/2" side water inlet. It is suitable for most standard cisterns found in the UK. Verify your cistern's inlet type and size before purchasing.
Care: The Inter-Sano valve is maintenance-free. No regular cleaning is typically required. If performance degrades, check for any debris in the water supply line or cistern that might affect its operation.
