Mystery valve going into cistern

[ifstar]

Can anyone help me find a replacement for this part? The screw head is totally busted so it can't be closed.

I thought it was just going to be a standard service valve however seems to be a different size to the norm and can't see anything that it looks like it anywhere. The main body is about 8.5cm in length.

that a weird looking compression service valve, looks more like a check (non return) valve. A Speedfit service valve is usually longer than a normal compression, not sure if it's 85mm though may be worth a look

Looks like an old ballofix service valve - use an allen key rather than a screwdriver to open/close the valve.

Nice use of PTFE on the compression end !

Allen key worked a treat, many thanks.
It's not the most accessible to get into so I hadn't even thought to try one.

Think I'll just happily leave it on without trying to take it off again since it still works fine.

You mean Ballofix.

Current Ballofix valves no longer use allen type turns. Screwdriver slot with a female thread for attaching handles.

My apologies to the brand - Ballofix it is!

but I did say an "old ballofix" - hence allen key worked
