Product Information

Full details

The KeyPlumb Side Entry Fill Valve is designed for homeowners and plumbers seeking a reliable, quiet, and efficient replacement inlet valve for modern toilet cisterns. Its primary benefit is ensuring smooth, quiet water refilling with a fast-acting shut-off to prevent waste. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for side entry into cisterns, so it won't fit bottom-entry installations. Key features include a durable 1/2-inch brass tail, quiet fill technology, a momentary shut-off system for precise control, and WRAS approval.

FAQs

Is this valve suitable for all types of toilet cisterns?

This valve is designed for side entry into most standard toilet cisterns. It is not suitable for bottom-entry cisterns.

What size is the water inlet connection?

The valve features a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) brass tail for the water supply connection.

How do I adjust the water level in the cistern?

The fill valve typically has an adjustable float cup or arm. You can usually adjust the water level by gently moving the float up or down on its arm or adjusting a screw mechanism on the float cup.

Is this product approved for use in the UK?

Yes, the KeyPlumb side entry fill valve is fully WRAS approved, meeting all UK water regulation standards.

How can I reduce noise from my toilet filling?

This valve incorporates 'Quiet Fill Technology' to minimize refilling noise. Ensuring proper installation and checking for any obstructions can help maintain its quiet operation.

What should I do if the valve leaks?

First, check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure the internal washer is correctly seated. If leaks persist, inspect the valve for any visible damage or consider replacing the seals if possible, or the valve itself.

Troubleshooting

Cistern not filling with water

Ensure the main water supply is turned on and the isolation valve to the toilet is open. Check that the water supply line is securely connected to the brass tail.

Water continues to run into the cistern after it's full

The shut-off mechanism may not be sealing correctly. Check the float arm and cup for obstructions or damage. Ensure the float is set to the correct water level and is not catching on any internal cistern components.

Leaking from the connection point

Ensure the nut securing the valve to the cistern is tight. Check the washer inside the cistern for damage and ensure it is correctly positioned. Inspect the water supply connection for tightness and the condition of the seal.

Excessive noise during filling

While designed for quiet fill, some noise is normal. If the noise is significantly loud or unusual, check for loose components or debris inside the valve mechanism.
