Toilet cistern won't fill up and when adjust it manually it won't stop filling

[scotty plumber]

The torbeck style inlet valve pictured has a flow restrictor fitted at bottom and you will probably find that it is blocked

If I were you I'd just remove your one and just fit a fluid master.

So, many posts on such a simple matter, I feel the need to join in.

Change the inlet valve, with either fluid master or torbek.

I prefer fluidmaster pro, I like the brass shank, saves me cross threading the thing!

I agree best to replace it with new one for all the time/cost it will take, i was just explaining what the most probable cause might be

Remember to buy a 15mm fibre washer too.

As said replace that valve they are terrible. Stopped using roar becks a few years back after having problems so wouldnt recommend them. Fluid-master will serve you and your re filling cistern requirements just right !

Thanks to all, fluidmaster ordered, received and now fitted and we have a flushing cistern once again.
Just hope I have as much like with my other thread.

It's a shame really, Torbeck used to be THE valve of choice for the man about town.
British company too so pity we can't support them
