FAQs
What is included in the Cornat Spare Parts for Filler Valve set?
This set typically includes essential internal components such as seals, diaphragms, and potentially small plastic parts needed to repair a standard Cornat filler valve. Please check the product packaging for an exact list of contents.
How do I know if I need this spare parts set?
You likely need this set if your toilet's cistern is continuously refilling, if there is a constant leak into the toilet bowl, or if the filler valve is making unusual noises, all of which often indicate worn-out internal components.
Is this part compatible with all filler valves?
No, this set is specifically designed for Cornat filler valves. Compatibility with other brands or even different models within the Cornat range is not guaranteed. Always verify the part number and your existing valve model.
Can I install this myself, or do I need a professional?
Basic DIY skills are usually sufficient for installation. However, if you are uncomfortable with plumbing or unsure about the process, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber.
What is the expected lifespan of these spare parts?
The lifespan depends on water quality and usage frequency. However, as high-quality replacement parts from Cornat, they are designed to provide reliable service for an extended period under normal conditions.
Where can I find the model number of my current filler valve?
The model number is often printed directly on the filler valve body. You may need to remove the cistern lid to inspect it. Referencing your toilet's installation manual can also help identify the correct part.
Troubleshooting
Cistern still not filling or filling too slowly
Ensure the water supply is fully turned on and that no debris is obstructing the inlet to the filler valve. Check if the new components were installed correctly and are not binding.
Cistern is overflowing or constantly refilling
Verify that all seals and connections are tight and correctly seated. The diaphragm or seal may not be properly aligned, or a part may be missing or incorrectly installed.
Water is leaking from the filler valve base
Double-check the tightness of all connections and ensure all seals are properly in place and undamaged. The base seal may need to be replaced if it was not part of this specific kit.
Difficulty in disassembling/reassembling the filler valve
Refer to the specific model instructions for your Cornat filler valve. Use appropriate tools and apply gentle, steady pressure to avoid damaging plastic parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Turn off water supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your plumbing system or the specific valve for the toilet and turn it off.
- Drain the cistern: Flush the toilet to empty the water from the cistern.
- Access the filler valve: Remove the cistern lid.
- Disassemble filler valve: Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions or use gentle force to dismantle the existing filler valve to access the internal components.
- Replace parts: Swap out the old, worn parts with the new ones from the Cornat TEC380421 set. Ensure they are seated correctly.
- Reassemble filler valve: Put the filler valve back together.
- Turn on water supply: Slowly turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
- Test: Flush the toilet to ensure the valve is functioning correctly and the cistern fills appropriately.
Compatibility:
This spare parts set is designed for Cornat filler valves. It is essential to confirm that your existing filler valve is a Cornat model and that this specific part number (TEC380421) is the correct replacement for your valve type. Refer to any existing markings on your filler valve or consult your toilet's manual for part compatibility.
Care:
As these are internal valve components, they require minimal direct care once installed. However, to prolong the life of the entire filler valve mechanism:
- Periodically check the water supply for sediment and consider installing a sediment filter if your water quality is poor.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly inside the cistern, as they can degrade rubber and plastic components over time.
