Roca boat valve

[nicro3]

Hi -Over the holiday had to replace boat valve on roca push button cistern, no shops open so used a bottom entry torbeck valve I had. Customer says whistling sound happens (not on every flush) Any ideas? or I will wait till suppliers are open and replace like for like.


Happy New Year

Did you put in the pressure adaptors that come with it?

 

[nicro3]

Yes I did

If you're lazy turn down the isolator a bit, if you're not swap for a fluidmaster.

This was your first mistake, Torbecks are the thing to fit if you like call backs. They are over sensitive peices of junk. I would first strip it down and see if there's a bit of dirt in it and that the restrictor is in (if it is remove it and see if it stops). Don't waste more than 10 minutes of your new years eve on it, if it won't mend -get rid.

This was on a boat? Was it moored or did you have to row to get there (at sea)? hone:

Maybe the whistling was just the wind in the sails?

I have had problems with Torbeks in recent times, - noisier fill than older valves & thud sound on one when it shut off ( gravity supply! ). So I would say use Fluidmaster. I use brass tail version.

i would fit more than one restrictor in the torbeck valve Ive had the same problem and 2 restrictors solved the problem, im also a big fan of torbecks , i dont work for them but just like them hope this helps

Use to use torbecks but had problems so changed to fluidmaster and all is good.
