Did a job today, toilet overflow. One of those boxed in & tiled over
cisterns - very pretty but a bugger to work on.

Came across the weirdest fill valve I've ever seen.

Inlet thread wasn't 3/4 BSP, more like 1/2". Hole in the plastic cistern
was too small to take the 3/4" spigot on the replacement fill valve.

Pretty sure my torbeck is 1/2" thread...

Float on the end was just a piece of polystyrene. No diaphragm, just a
rubber pad - which had perished.

Couple of good points, very easy to adjust fill level, nice big thumb
wheel & easy to adjust arm length.

I suspect it was......

Can't help with the weird valve - but now you know that you could replace it
with something else...
