![]() "Harv" wrote in message ... Hi all, The toilet in the main bathroom has a torbeck valve installed, and it seems to take an absolute age to fill. Well, about 90 seconds... Does this sound reasonable, I have stripped the valve down and cleaned the filter and there was some rubbish in the flow restrictor, but it doesn't seem to have helped the flow rate at all. It runs at mains pressure, and has the mains pressure restricter installed. To be fair, the valve does fill very quietly - should I just live with it, or does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks, Harv IMM, if you read this, then many thanks for your advice the HepVo, worked a treat! Thanks. Torbecks come with 3 flow restrictors that insert into the pipe. Keep trying these until the right one is found. If they are lost then insert an in-line service valve and restrict or open the flow that way. I would not find 1.5 mins to fill a toilet slow. You are not operating toilets at Waterloo where fills have to be in a few seconds. The main quality of Torbecks is the quietness, which I find superb. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
