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.

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......

French!

Another odd thing, the supply to the WC & H&C of the basin were 10mm
plastic, same stuff used on microbore central heating. Never seen that
before either. Flow rate didn't seem to bad.
