Hi
I need some advice.
I've just replaced my current Torbeck Adjustable Height bottom Fill Valve as water was coming all out the back of it when filling and also kept leaking very small drips when filled but enough to set of my water pump. I've had to replace it with a like for like but it still does not cure the issue even though I've inserted the HP restrictor.
I live in a 1 floor flat so all my water is kept is a huge storage tank and then is feed through a pump that operates at 2.5BAR
Ideally i'd like to use a fluidmaster instead but due to the inlet pipe being fixed I can only replace with an inlet that has a 46mm shank and AFAIK fluidmasters have at least 50mm shanks.
Could i place an extra 1 or 2 rubber washers under the base of the valve (inside the cistern) in order to reduce the length of the shank.
As you can see from the photo any adjustments to the inlet pipe or swapping over to flexi hoses is a non-starter.
