FAQs
Is this valve suitable for all types of toilets?
This valve is designed for standard toilet cisterns with a bottom water inlet and a 1/2" BSP connection. It's recommended to check your existing setup for compatibility.
What does 'Airgap compliant' mean?
Airgap compliance (AUK1 and Reg 4) means the valve prevents backflow of contaminated water into the mains supply, meeting UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations.
How do I adjust the height of the valve?
The height is adjustable via a collar mechanism. Simply twist the collar up or down to set the desired water level in the cistern.
Can this valve be used with low water pressure systems?
Yes, the valve is designed to operate efficiently across a wide pressure range, from 0.1 Bar upwards, making it suitable for low-pressure systems.
How often should I clean the fill valve?
Cleaning is generally only needed if you notice performance issues like slow filling or the valve not shutting off. Periodically check for debris.
What is the warranty period for this Torbeck fill valve?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.
Does the valve come with all the necessary fittings for installation?
The product description mentions a brass shank and a 1/2" BSP inlet connection, implying it includes the core components for attachment to the water supply and cistern.
Troubleshooting
Valve does not shut off / cistern overfills
Ensure the float arm is correctly positioned and not obstructed. Check for debris within the valve mechanism that might prevent proper sealing. Adjust the height if necessary.
Cistern refills very slowly
Verify the water supply valve is fully open. Check if the inlet filter within the valve is blocked and clean it if necessary. Ensure the height is not set too low, which can restrict flow.
Valve makes noise during filling
Confirm the water pressure is within the specified range. Check if the flow restrictor is correctly in place. Ensure the valve is securely tightened to prevent vibrations.
Water leaks from the base of the valve
Tighten the securing nut on the brass shank. Ensure the washer or seal is correctly seated and undamaged. Check the integrity of the cistern's inlet hole.
