Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this compatible with all float valves?

It is designed for standard Part 2 float valves. It is recommended to compare it with your current arm before installation.

Does this product include the float ball?

No, this product is the replacement arm only; the float ball must be transferred from the old arm.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure the length of your current arm. This unit is specifically 8 inches in length.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, only an adjustable wrench or pair of pliers is needed to tighten the arm onto the valve.

Will this rust over time?

The material is chosen for its durability in water, though lime scale buildup should be cleaned periodically to prevent degradation.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to run after cistern is full

Adjust the angle of the float arm downwards to shut off the valve earlier.

Arm feels loose at the connection point

Ensure the arm is threaded fully into the valve and the lock nut is tightened firmly.

Cistern takes too long to fill

Check that the arm is not bent and is allowing the valve to open fully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality build ensures long-term reliability
  • Easy installation process suitable for DIYers
  • Fits standard industry-standard float valves
  • Cost-effective maintenance solution

Cons

  • Specific 8-inch length may not suit non-standard cisterns
  • Does not include the float ball or valve mechanism itself
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge to ensure proper alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first isolate the water supply to the cistern and flush to empty the tank. Unscrew the existing arm from the valve body and remove the float ball. Align the new 8-inch arm, ensuring it is securely fastened to the valve threads. Reattach the float ball, then adjust the arm angle if necessary to ensure the water level stops approximately 1 inch below the overflow pipe. For care, periodically check for lime scale buildup on the connection point, which can be cleaned with a mild descaler to ensure smooth movement.
