Installation og opsætning
Before installation, ensure the main water supply to the toilet cistern is turned off. Drain the cistern completely.
Installationstrin:
- Remove the old fill valve from the cistern. Clean any debris from the cistern's bottom opening.
- Insert the new Flomasta Plastic Part 3 Float Valve into the ½ inch bottom entry hole of the cistern. Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated on the outside of the cistern.
- Secure the valve in place using the provided plastic nut on the underside of the cistern. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten and damage the plastic threads.
- Connect the water supply line to the ½ inch threaded inlet at the bottom of the valve. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the connection, ensuring no leaks.
- Adjust the float arm to the desired water level. The float arm controls when the valve shuts off. Typically, the water level should be just below the overflow pipe.
- Slowly turn on the main water supply to the toilet. Check for any leaks around the connections. Allow the cistern to fill and observe the valve's operation.
Operation
The Flomasta Plastic Part 3 Float Valve operates by sensing the water level in the toilet cistern. As the cistern fills, the float arm rises. Once the water reaches the pre-set level, the float arm activates an internal mechanism to shut off the water supply, preventing overfilling. When the toilet is flushed, the water level drops, causing the float arm to lower and reopen the valve, allowing the cistern to refill quietly.
Opretholdelse
Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of wear, such as cracks in the plastic or degradation of rubber seals. Periodically check for mineral deposits or sediment buildup, especially in hard water areas, which can affect valve performance. If the valve becomes noisy or slow to fill, it may require cleaning or replacement of internal components. Turn off the water supply before performing any maintenance.
