Perfect simple explanation, First realised I had a problem when water was running down the brickwork from the overflow pipe outside. I had the opposite issue - too high a water level in the toilet tank. Sure enough the water was spilling over into the overflow tube. I adjusted silver nut/screw as recommended. Thanks Garry!
Absolutely brilliant..! Described everything slowly & carefully - I watched several other videos, but just couldn't get it, but I have mended my daughter's toilet all by myself..! Huge thank you!
Thanks, my over flow pipe was leaking and I think I've just fixed it by tightening the screws on the arm of the float, saving the cost of a plumber and metered water bill!
Great vid, I wasted hours not being able to adjust the screw enough to make the water stop. Once I saw you explain about the use of a screw driver on the end of the black pin I sorted it in 5 mins. Should have watched your vid first!!
This is very useful thanks. I liked the way you point out the relevant parts when you mention their names and cover the really important stuff like not over tightening on the nuts on the pipework underneath the toilet. Most of the vids on here are for side entry filler systems so not relevant to me. The camerawork could have been in better focus ! However i did like the slower pace so its easier to follow what you are saying. On many other guidance vids the guys talk too fast, or try to crack too many jokes. Then its harder to follow the key points. Unfortunaltey all this was in vain in my particular case as the plastic nut under the toilet was far too tight and far too difficult to reach - due to the toilet bing fitted too close to the side wall. So i'll have to call a plumber and get the whole cistern replaced with a more modern side fed filler pipe. Many thanks anyway for putting this on TH-cam. I did learn some useful stuff !
It will not flow out the cistern if it fills too much! The water will escape through the siphon bottle and into the toilet. That is why there is no visible overflow apparent.
What I really needed to see is how to reassemble the valve: getting the o-ring in the correct place was not really obvious but I finally figured it out..that the o ring goes between the cone-shaped piece bigger side and the far inside of the valve body...
@@650GSF I often find that the very little thing that you need help with in a hurry is the very thing that no one covers....thanks for responding though..
Hi there i have fitted a side entry fill valve, there doesnt seem to be sealing washer on the inlet union pipe, is there supposed to be a fibre or rubber washer, it weeps a bit i have put a load of ptfe tape round ot, also when it fills up there is a horrible groaning noise for about 15 seconds.....any advice Please Fred in Essex.
very nicely explained thanks. i tried to do mine but i think i loosened the nut on the service valve lol. mine doesnt go exactly straight up a kink in the copper allows for a small adjustment alas i have called my plumber in. think it would of been wise to secure the nut on the service valve with a wrench to prevent any movement. oh well live and learn...
it's a learning curve like everything at first, but once you have done a little bit of plumbing and gain a bit off confidence you will be happy to do these little jobs and save a few quid :-)
They are called Cotter pins and they are tricky due to being made of plastic ! You need to pinch the end in with a pair of (pointed end) pliers and then pull !. Its not ideal. Ii wish the makers would use metal pins instead of plastic. Its the same with parts under the engine bonnet on your car. The makers just want to use whatever is chepest for them without thinking of the needs of the end user !
Yay Thankyou after faffing about all morning watching other videos which didn’t show the right valve I’ve got. I found yours I was about to throw my girlie spinners out my pram and yay I’ve done it. Thankyouuuuuuuu

Hi, glad my video was helpful, nice to be able to do these little simple jobs yourself and save a bit of money.
This is the second one for the basement bat. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

Brilliant, could you show us how the blue fitting works with the washer inside?
Could you take the blue part apart, please?

Thanks for this video. I was able to fix my mom's toilet in less than 2 minutes!
Thanks for this, makes it so much clearer for me and to anyone who isn’t grateful, get a plumber!
Hi
Thanks for the demo. How do you increase the water pressure on this particular fill valve
It will not flow out the cistern if it fills too much! The water will escape through the siphon bottle and into the toilet. That is why there is no visible overflow apparent.
What I really needed to see is how to reassemble the valve: getting the o-ring in the correct place was not really obvious but I finally figured it out..that the o ring goes between the cone-shaped piece bigger side and the far inside of the valve body...
glad you figured it out, this was not one of my better videos, it was a bit of an after thought to do it lol
@@650GSF I often find that the very little thing that you need help with in a hurry is the very thing that no one covers....thanks for responding though..
Thanks for the video, perfectly explained.
what did you do apart from talk about the components?
Excellent description 👍

Dunno what plumbers you use that charge £70 for that and to imply that all plumbers rip people off is incorrect.
How do you take out the black pin
They are called Cotter pins and they are tricky due to being made of plastic ! You need to pinch the end in with a pair of (pointed end) pliers and then pull !. Its not ideal. Ii wish the makers would use metal pins instead of plastic. Its the same with parts under the engine bonnet on your car.

Did he actually do anything!!!!
I do wish that DIY video makers would write a script first - it avoids a load of verbal waffling.
lol
Tyson Fury :o
Was a bit Tyson Furyish!!!
