Anybody any idea where I can buy a bottom fill toilet fill valve with a 70mm long tail, 1/2 thread. Struggling to source one and dont want to replace the toilet.
Thanks

Is the 70mm important in order to meet existing pipework?


If not plenty of bottom fill valves on Screwfix, Toolstation, Ebay and
from any plumbing merchant or shed, B&Q, Wickes etc.). Screwfix and
Toolstation are open during lockdown. The standard is 1/2 inch british
pipe thread.

Random Example

(alternatives can be found on that page)

Fitting instruction can be found from a link on this page

If its to meet existing rigid pipework then consider cutting the pipe
and using a flexi pipe to the valve.

Examples from Toolstaion

Note that some designs are more compact than others which may suit the
space you have.

For personal collection Screwfix and Toolstation have a click and
collect policy during lockdown. Check the stock level in the local
outlet, order and pay on-line, wait for the confirmation (text) go and
collect.
