FAQs

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and certified to meet the high standards of water quality, safety, and efficiency required by water regulations in the UK.

How do I adjust the water flow?

The water flow is typically adjusted by changing the position of the float on the float arm. Moving the float up or down will alter the water level at which the valve shuts off, thereby affecting the volume of water in the cistern and the subsequent flush.

Can I replace just the seal or diaphragm?

The VeeBath Pro valve is designed with serviceable parts. While seals and diaphragms can often be replaced, it's recommended to refer to specific service manuals or contact VeeBath customer support for exact part numbers and instructions.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 5-year guarantee. However, this guarantee excludes serviceable parts, and damage resulting from neglect or abuse of the product after purchase.

What pressure range does this valve work with?

The valve is designed to operate effectively within a water pressure range of 0.13 Bar to 16 Bar.

Is this valve suitable for all toilet types?

It is designed as an ideal replacement for most standard toilet cisterns and features a common 1/2" BST tail connection. However, always verify the dimensions and connection type against your existing setup.

Troubleshooting

Cistern not filling with water

Ensure the main water supply is turned on and the isolation valve for the toilet is open. Check that the inlet pipe is securely connected and not kinked. Verify the float arm is not stuck in the 'down' position.

Cistern overfilling and water entering the overflow tube

Adjust the float mechanism downwards. The float arm needs to be set so that the valve shuts off the water supply at the correct level, below the top of the overflow tube.

Water slowly leaking from the cistern into the toilet bowl

Check the seal at the base of the valve. Ensure the retaining nut is sufficiently tightened. If the issue persists, the valve's internal diaphragm may be worn and require replacement or the entire valve may need servicing/replacement.

Valve makes a noisy 'hammering' sound when filling

This can sometimes be caused by water hammer in the pipes. Ensure the water supply is turned on slowly. Check that all pipe connections are secure. In some cases, a water hammer arrestor might be needed on the supply line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and hard-wearing rigid plastic construction.
  • WRAS approved for safety and compliance.
  • Adjustable water flow for efficient use.
  • Includes a built-in overflow tube for added safety.
  • Wide operating pressure range suitable for most homes.
  • Comes with a 5-year guarantee (excluding specific conditions).

Cons

  • Guarantee excludes serviceable parts, neglect, or abuse.
  • Ceramic lever, while solid, could be a point of fragility if subjected to excessive force.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for installation.
  • Weight might be a factor for very lightweight cisterns, though it's generally a pro for stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Isolate Water Supply: Turn off the main water supply to the toilet.
  2. Drain Cistern: Flush the toilet to empty the cistern.
  3. Remove Old Valve: Disconnect the water supply pipe and unscrew the retaining nut holding the old valve in place. Remove the old valve.
  4. Install New Valve: Insert the VeeBath Pro valve through the bottom of the cistern, ensuring the seal is correctly positioned. Secure it with the retaining nut from inside the cistern.
  5. Connect Water Supply: Attach the water supply pipe to the 1/2" BST tail connection.
  6. Test Valve: Turn the main water supply back on slowly. Check for leaks around the connections and the valve itself. Adjust the float arm to set the desired water level in the cistern.
  7. Flush Test: Once filled, flush the toilet to ensure the valve operates correctly and the cistern refills to the set level without the overflow.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most standard toilet cisterns.
  • Features a 1/2" BST tail connection, a common plumbing standard.
  • Designed to work with water pressures between 0.13 Bar and 16 Bar.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic or damage the finish.
  • Periodically check for leaks or signs of wear. The internal components are serviceable, but specific guidance may be needed for individual parts.
  • Ensure the water supply is clean to prevent debris from affecting valve operation.
