VeeBath Toilet Inlet Valve Bottom Entry, Inlet Float Valve 1/2 inch

Fitted quickly, tightened the nut to hand tight, making sure the rubber v shaped washer was on the inside. making sure that no side of the tank touches the blue part and then tighten with a spanner a 1/2 turn did it for me. No leaks, fast filling and quiet. Good price and seems to be sturdy. Will see how long it lasts but so far happy with this. I used a new 1/2 inch flexible WRAS approved pipe and it was easy to tighten that up to the brass inlet without it turning. Recommended.

Bought to replace a faulty Flush Daddy inlet valve - a few inches shorter than existing one but works well. Built to a good quality and easy to fit

Thing of a beauty, a joy forever. Super easy to install, fits into the tiniest of spaces.I left the old flushing mechanism in the tank and just replaced the old cock and ball valve with this.It's quiet and fills up the 8 litre tank in under 30 seconds. (Compared to the 3 minutes before)Just make sure to twist the shaft and set the top of the blue plastic (critical level) to the height of the syphon's overflow. Then twist to lock again and insert the small plastic piece back to secure the position. Before installing the mains water, be sure to remove the piece of plastic from inside the 1/2" brass inlet at the bottom.Took me no time to install, no leaks or noise.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE:After a week, it stopped shutting down completely and the excess water is now leaking into the bowl. Buying a Fluidmaster instead....------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE UPDATE:After another week, it started working perfectly. No leaks or overflow. So in the end I kept it. I don't know why it had a hiccup but it gets plenty of use and has no problems.

This item has a sturdy build. Height is changeable. Strong brass connecter allows for firm attachment without bending or stripping like a plastic connector.. Brass nut is a good size and not too wide which means you can use a box spanner to tighten it. The water flow is very quiet. Installation was quick and successful first time. I don’t know why it was so much cheaper than the other products? It does appear to be a very sturdy build. I would buy it again.

I bought this particular style of valve to replace an old style ball arm type as part of a complete refurbishment of the bodge up from hell (see photo) . The new valve now sits in splendid isolation on the left hand side of the cistern with the water inlet changed to suit and the previous right side entry hole blanked off.Initially I looked at other valves costing twice as much and thought that perhaps this one wouldn’t be so good but went ahead and bought it anyway. Surprisingly it is pretty well made and is supplied with a decent idiot proof cone shaped rubber sealing washer. Not sure if the stem is actually brass or brass finish . Hopefully it is plated copper and not DinkyToy alloy . The instructions are pretty basic and do not explain fully how to adjust the height of the stem . This is done by twisting and unlocking , sliding to size and then twisting back to lock and is probably best done before fitting. Only grip the shaft when twisting as the working parts are less robust and will probably break off. The packaging says it’s designed in the UK and made in China (what isn’t) . Anyway if it’s as good as my I-Pad I won’t worry.The inlet is fitted with a removable filter with regular cleaning advised so I suspect this and others of the type are susceptible to dirt or debris so perhaps worth paying attention to . The metal connection , unlike plastic should stand up to routine maintenance .Suitable for low and high pressure without the need for restriction inserts and on my 3 bar mains fills in seconds and is particularly quiet, unlike its predecessor mimicking a hose pipe filling a bucket and dripping encore.Instructions do not include any reference to dismantling the top end for washer replacement etc , but considering you might have to pay £3-4 for the washer alone what would be the point, better to get another valve .

Simple to install and adjust, this is so much neater than a conventional valve with a long ball float arm. It works very quietly and fills very fast with no splashing. The best toilet cistern valve I've ever fitted.

This is good gear. The height of the float can be set by lengthening the stem before installing and / or by a screw once installed. Works very well.Just check nothing could the instalation. In my case had to adjust my flush mechanism to avoid the unit. Better than a cock and ball if nothing fouls. Will buy again. Hope this helps.

Simple to install and works well so far. Can't comment about longevity yet, my previous Fluidmaster (more expensive) one only lasted 4 months before sticking so hoping this one will fair better. It is very quiet so happy with regards to that.Only gripe is the plastic filter plug with the instructions stating to clean frequently. They can't seriously expect that! The holes in this filter plug are very small and I suppose could block up over time. Was half tempted to remove this from the pipe but have left in for now. I suppose it slows down flow and helps for a quieter mechanism. I will remove later if I have to buy an certainly not cleaning it regularly, that's a stupid instruction. For now happy.
