I've been searching and looking at pictures of Fluidmaster bottom-entry valves, like http://www.screwfix.com/prods/84007/Plumbing/Toilet-Fittings/Fluidmaster-Bottom-Entry-Fill-Valve-UK but I'm still not sure - where does the water come out? Is it out of the bottom? People say that they are very quiet but I'm just trying to work out how so. Thanks.
Fluidmaster bottom-entry valves - how do they work?

Hi there,
On the picture you posted, just above the white nut at the bottom there is 4 slots.
The water comes in through there, so once the cistern has started filling this part is under water and therefore eliminates almost all the sound of filling.
These valves are excellent and whenever I am chaing a filling valve almost always recommend one of these.
Hope this helps

Thanks, I thought that might be the case but none of the Fluidmaster or pages on sites like Screwfix actually said that!
My next problem is working out whether my syphon will get in the way of the float. My water enters the cistern on the same side as the flush handle for the syphon, so the syphon mechanism is just where the Fluidmaster float would need to go. I guess the only way to find out is to try it.

Why dont you get the whole Fluidmaster kit.
This comes with, botton fill valve and flapper flush valve.
A flapper is much more efficent, no real parts to go wrong, can be adjusted by hand to increase/decrease amount of water flushed, and is the easiest thing to handle flush, they can even be bought with push buttons if that it what you have.
