moonlight Plumbers Arms member Plumber Gas Engineer Messages 948 Apr 22, 2017 #1 anyone tried one of these valves yet? I can't see the point of fitting a different drop valve in place of the one you have? Its saying you don't have to remove the cistern to fit? Interested in your views

That's if there's already a similar one in. It won't work if it's a standard flush http://www.wirquin.co.uk/images/products/flushing/thumb-download/217854 quick fit v5_low res.pdf

moonlight Plumbers Arms member Plumber Gas Engineer Messages 948 Apr 22, 2017 #7 I can't see them catching on, I would like to see one in action though. I also prefer the fluidmaster as a new install.

Harvest Fields Esteemed Plumber Gas Engineer Subscribed Messages 10,441 Apr 22, 2017 #9 I'm willing to buy one and have a look at it. Not seen one before and would like to have a mess about with it. I'll make my mind up from there.

S samwilko Gas Engineer Messages 131 Apr 26, 2017 #14 I fitted one, never again. The seal doesn't t stick as soon as you get water back in the cistern it lifted off! Went straight back to the merchants.
