Hi All,

I've tried replacing my broken fill valve this afternoon with a Flomasta FA1090. I got my old one off fairly easily (although my main stopcock is stuck, I can't turn it so I just used the stop valve) but this one won't fit due to it's low height and the bob being too low. It catches onto the flusher, even if you turn it.

My old valve is quite a high one and I can't find any brand or anything on it so I can order the same part. Also, the 1/2" thread seems to be too short on the new one as well. Can anybody in the UK recommend a valve that will work or will I have to change both units to get this fixed? If so, any other recommendations would be great.

Cheers,
Paul.

Sorted it :) If I had read the box before I wouldn't have needed to post this. It's height adjustable so I just made it taller and it fits fine.
