Toilet fill valve replacement?

[joeturbo]

Hi,

We have 2 toilets in our apartment and have noticed that the fill valve in the en-suite constantly drips (from the blue part)

Pic attached is of the main bathroom but they are the same , will attach en-suite pic later

What are the options for replacing / fixing the part? I have had a quick google and "fluidmaster/korky" has come up. Not sure if they would fit as its quite close to the flush valve?

Any other wearable parts worth replacing whist at it?

Would there be no benefit of replacing the ballcock style fill valve for one of the newer ones?

All depends how good you are at plumbing, for a quick fix just change the washer.

Cheers Andy,

Will just do the washer for now, think I had trouble replacing the washer in the main bathroom toilet as didn't know which was the right washer to use. Hopefully will go to plan this time.

I will give most things a go (had a radiator off before without much problem)

Don't seem to have much luck with washers, tried replacing the bathroom tap washer previously and again couldn't find the right one. Need to fix that too as still not great

having a nightmare with this as I expected

Water ****ing everywhere and the fill will now not shut off?

Could you confirm which way up the washer should go and if I'm missing anything?

Not sure if it's miss threading.

Have you dropped anything into the cistern when you took it apart? - http://www.screwfix.com/p/arctic-pr...ting-washers-1-5-pack/9478j?_requestid=418244

And how have you managed to get the float-arm to be apparently vertical

A wider shot (as in your OP) might be useful

took the ball off to try to make it easier to screw on straight

At the bottom of the pic are the bits I took off.

At the top are the pieces in a kit from screw fix.

The 2 black washers on the bottom right were from a previous bad attempt to fix

Where abouts does that part fit that you just sent me a link to?

take the one of your other toilet to see where everything goes , keep it all together this time

Is the washer the right way up in this pic ?


The black washers you mention to place between the chamber and the inlet don't look like the right size can I get a replacement? The red one in the kit the wrong type I guess?

 

[HERTS P&D]

No, the other way round.

Look at the picture I posted before. The 'big washer goes on top of the right hand section of the chamber in your photo, not inside the left hand side!
