float valve

Now then. I need to bend a float valve arm into an interesting shape to fit my old cistern. Needs to be part1 because a part2 body wont fit the space. I've already snapped one from BES. Does anyone know of a float valve with an arm that will bend well? If it comes to it, does heating the arm...

Hi, What is the red part on this float valve, is it suppose to let water out when refilling? The valve makes a foghorn sound when I flush and is very slow to fill.

This ball valve has started leaking and, if possible, I'd like to repair it by either replacing the rubber diaphragm, or the whole unit but without replacing the inlet connection (which has a captive screw which connects to the valve). However, although I've searched through many online...

Tonight the arm of the ballcock feeding the cold water storage cistern in my attic broke (quite puzzling: maybe due to strong wind causing some turbulence??). Anyway, I need to replace it. I know it's faster to replace only the part inside the tank, undoing the very last compression nut. But...

Hi All, I have just come back from a 2 week holiday and found my loft tank overflow running. I followed some advice on this site and youtube and replaced the float valve. However all info I could find advised separating the float valve on the inside of the tank and only replacing that part. I...

Next topic! I'm getting on with stuff today. :) Toilet flush: The cistern never really gets full and the valve never fully switches off. I've poked around and it seems that the bit that the ball float pushes into to stop the cistern filling is sticking. What's that called? Inlet valve...

Hi all, Apologies for the lack of knowledge here, but I will try and progress with what the internet has taught me so far. We bought our first house exactly a year ago, and all has been fine with the boiler and hot water system though the initial survey advised that the boiler was 20 years old...

Ladies and Gents, My house, it seems, is slightly non-standard. I need to replace the float valve in my cold water storage tank, but of course it doesn't seem to have a standard 15mm fitting. I believe it to be 20mm, like the mains water stopcock fitting, which is "actually" a thread diameter...
