Default Ball Valve in Toilet Cistern


My upstairs cistern fills very slowly. I got round to looking at it today
and it had a high pressure valve fitted (small hole) but bless the plumber
who left the high pressure bit fitted to the arm!

I have fitted it and it has made a difference, although not as much as I
had hoped.

The valve fell in the cistern when I took the old one off so I don't know
if I have the cone and rubber washer the right way round. I have been
Googling but I don't know what the bits are called which is a bit of a
problem.

Can somebody point me to a diagram or tell me what I should be Googling or
please?

Many thanks.

I found that thank you. I really need something a bit higher resolution nd
with more detail.

My valve is like that but 180 degrees out. The diaphragm is at the inlet
end and the cone shaped bit at the ball valve end. I wonder if somebody
dropped the whole thing in the cistern once upon a time and put it
together back to front.
