Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Bottom Entry Cistern Fill Valve (T6800) is a high-performance replacement component designed for professional plumbers and homeowners looking to upgrade their toilet cistern hardware. It offers superior durability thanks to its 1/2 inch brass thread shank, which prevents the common snapping issues found in plastic models. While it is highly versatile and fits most standard cisterns, users should confirm the vertical space within their specific unit to ensure the 194mm-294mm height adjustment range is sufficient for their setup.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this valve fit all toilet cisterns?

It is designed for most standard bottom-entry cisterns, provided there is enough vertical clearance for the 194mm-294mm adjustment range.

Is this suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, the valve is engineered to operate effectively in both high and low-pressure plumbing configurations.

Can I install this if I have a side-entry cistern?

No, this is specifically a bottom-entry fill valve and is not compatible with side-entry configurations.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 3-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need an adjustable wrench and a pair of pliers, though much of the installation can be done by hand.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to run into the overflow pipe

Check that the float is not obstructed by the cistern wall and ensure the water level is set below the overflow pipe.

Valve is noisy during refill

Ensure the water supply stop-valve is fully open; partially closed valves can cause vibration and noise.

Leaking at the base of the cistern

Check that the rubber sealing washer is seated correctly and that the locking nut on the brass shank is tightened sufficiently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resilient brass thread ensures longevity
  • WRAS certification guarantees regulatory compliance
  • Quiet fill technology reduces noise
  • Fits both high and low-pressure water systems
  • 3-year manufacturer guarantee

Cons

  • Not compatible with side-entry cisterns
  • Requires specific vertical clearance
  • Installation requires basic plumbing tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first isolate the water supply and drain the cistern. Unscrew the old valve, ensuring the rubber sealing washer is correctly positioned before inserting the new brass shank. Tighten the retaining nut by hand before giving it a final quarter-turn with a wrench. The valve is designed for bottom-entry systems only. Ensure that the internal float has enough room to move freely without hitting the cistern walls. For long-term care, the chlorine-resistant materials prevent degradation from treated water; however, if you live in an area with extremely hard water, occasionally inspect the internal filter for scale buildup to maintain optimal flow rates.
