FAQs

What type of inlet does this valve use?

This is a bottom entry inlet fill valve, designed for cisterns with holes on the underside for water connection.

What is the size of the water inlet connection?

The valve features a standard 15mm BSP fitting for the water supply connection.

Can I adjust the height of the valve?

Yes, the height is adjustable and can be set anywhere between 8 inches and 12 inches.

How do I adjust the water level in the cistern?

You can adjust the float level by turning the screw located near the float arm. Clockwise raises the water level, and counter-clockwise lowers it.

Is this valve suitable for all toilet cisterns?

This valve is specifically designed for cisterns with bottom inlet holes. It is not suitable for cisterns with side entry inlets.

What approvals does this valve have?

The valve has CE, UPC, and WRAS approvals, indicating it meets recognized quality and safety standards.

How often should I check for leaks?

It is recommended to check for leaks after installation and then periodically, perhaps every 6-12 months, or if you notice any changes in the toilet's water usage.

Troubleshooting

Cistern not filling with water

Ensure the main water supply is turned on. Check that the 15mm BSP connection is secure and not cross-threaded. Verify the float mechanism is not stuck in the down position.

Cistern overfilling or water level too high

Adjust the float level screw counter-clockwise to lower the water level. Ensure the float is moving freely and not obstructed.

Cistern underfilling or water level too low

Adjust the float level screw clockwise to raise the water level. Ensure the float arm is not hitting the cistern wall or mechanism.

Water constantly running into the bowl

Check the float level is set correctly. Ensure the seal at the top of the valve is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.

Valve making noise during filling

Some noise is normal. If the noise is excessive or like hammering, check water pressure and ensure all connections are tight. Sediment buildup can sometimes cause noise.
