VeeBath Toilet Inlet Valve Bottom Entry, Inlet Float Valve 1/2 inch

happy with itemused in ideal standard system with 1/2" connector.easy to set up and fitted well and would use again.quality is good and easy system to set the height on the stack and also some adjustment on the float.included the rubber gasket for the inside of the cistern and locking ring and washer for the outside.

I bought this particular style of valve to replace an old style ball arm type as part of a complete refurbishment of the bodge up from hell (see photo) . The new valve now sits in splendid isolation on the left hand side of the cistern with the water inlet changed to suit and the previous right side entry hole blanked off.Initially I looked at other valves costing twice as much and thought that perhaps this one wouldn’t be so good but went ahead and bought it anyway. Surprisingly it is pretty well made and is supplied with a decent idiot proof cone shaped rubber sealing washer. Not sure if the stem is actually brass or brass finish . Hopefully it is plated copper and not DinkyToy alloy . The instructions are pretty basic and do not explain fully how to adjust the height of the stem . This is done by twisting and unlocking , sliding to size and then twisting back to lock and is probably best done before fitting. Only grip the shaft when twisting as the working parts are less robust and will probably break off. The packaging says it’s designed in the UK and made in China (what isn’t) . Anyway if it’s as good as my I-Pad I won’t worry.The inlet is fitted with a removable filter with regular cleaning advised so I suspect this and others of the type are susceptible to dirt or debris so perhaps worth paying attention to . The metal connection , unlike plastic should stand up to routine maintenance .Suitable for low and high pressure without the need for restriction inserts and on my 3 bar mains fills in seconds and is particularly quiet, unlike its predecessor mimicking a hose pipe filling a bucket and dripping encore.Instructions do not include any reference to dismantling the top end for washer replacement etc , but considering you might have to pay £3-4 for the washer alone what would be the point, better to get another valve .

This was the cheapest option I could find but worked well. Although it felt slightly cheap and was fiddly, I did manage to fit myself and it worked successfully. I am not a plumber, nor am I very practical, and although it took a couple of hours, I did manage to get it to work without any leaks. From memory, there weren't any instructions, or certainly they weren't that useful, but was able to resolve with a couple of YouTube videos.One of the positives is that it fills quickly and quietly. Overall positive and I would probably purchase again if I needed another.

Easy to fit and adjust (when I worked out how to take the toilet apart) Far better build quality than the factory installed flush it replaced. I expect it to last a long time.

EASY ASSEMBLY AND WORKS PERFECT. GOOD VALUE BUY

This is good gear. The height of the float can be set by lengthening the stem before installing and / or by a screw once installed. Works very well.Just check nothing could the instalation. In my case had to adjust my flush mechanism to avoid the unit. Better than a cock and ball if nothing fouls. Will buy again. Hope this helps.

Easy toinstall and adjust.

This is a good piece of kit. However the brass bit was about 3mm too short to connect to the fill pipe. To overcome this I dispensed with the shaped rubber washer that should have been inside the cistern and used a flat washer. I also removed the plastic bit which restricts the input flow despite having a pumped system. It works well but what should have been a 30 minte job took me 2 hours.
