Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the height adjustment range of this fill valve?

The Torbeck Bottom Entry Fill Valve is height adjustable between 273mm and 326mm.

Is this valve suitable for all types of toilet cisterns?

This valve is specifically designed for bottom entry cisterns with a 1/2" BSP connection. It is not suitable for side entry.

Does this valve comply with UK water regulations?

Yes, it is airgap compliant to AUK1 and Reg 4 as standard, meeting the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) regulations.

How do I clean the fill valve?

To clean, turn off the water supply, flush the cistern, and then remove the valve mechanism. Rinse the internal parts under clean water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as this is not provided in the product description.

Can I use this valve if my water pressure is very low?

Yes, the valve is designed to operate effectively with water pressures as low as 0.1 Bar.

What does 'Airgap compliant' mean?

Airgap compliance ensures that there is a physical separation between the incoming mains water supply and the water within the cistern, preventing back-siphonage and contamination of the drinking water supply.

Troubleshooting

Valve is constantly running or not shutting off

Check the float arm is not obstructed and is set to the correct water level. Ensure the diaphragm seal is clean and properly seated.

Water level in cistern is too high or too low

Adjust the water level screw on the float arm or ensure the float is set correctly. Refer to height adjustment instructions for proper seating.

Slow refill rate

Check for blockages in the water supply line or the valve's inlet. Ensure the water pressure is within the operational range (0.1 - 10 Bar).

Leaking from the base connection

Ensure the securing nut is tightened appropriately and the washer is correctly positioned. Check the plastic shank for any cracks or damage.

Noise during refilling

While designed for quiet operation, ensure the valve is securely installed and not vibrating against the cistern wall. Some minimal noise is normal.
