About this deal

For those who are wondering if this will replace the now out of production AFV40100 or AFV40200, the answer is YES it will! Further, if this doesnt solve your problem, at the other end of the cable is the actual valve mechanism.

Although on my flush the smaller level indicator on the side of the unit was the trouble as it was sticking and preventing the plunger from going down far enough, you can ensure it is operating ok by making sure the that the bottom of the plunger is down a good 1 ins from the unit casing, if not it means the plunger is still sticking and the water will still run thru it into the toilet pan,so just make sure its 1 ins . The wife has even hinted that we might partake in some extra curricular activities tonight, thanks to me saving a plumbers bill.The top of the valve has the codes AFV50100 and AFV50200 and comes complete with an adjustable overflow tube which adjusts from 190mm to 330mm. It was a direct swap, no need to dismantle the cistern just twist out the old body and fit the new one. Faulty or damaged toilet fill valves can cause a toilet not to function properly and can waste water.

When you say the big white bit is that the top of the tube closest to me that the blue tube goes in to?

I've tried to include as many pictures as possible in the hope all this makes sense and hopefully prevents you from having to pay for a plumber to visit.

I can't imagine the bolt is threaded into the bowl directly though - is there a plastic fitting glued to the base unit perhaps? I then used a pencil to poke down the same hole and wiggle the small blue lever until it happily sprung back cleanly again. Please note: Purchasing the replacement valve will require the removal of the complete valve assembly.Look out for water saving features, quiet operation, WRAS approved, and ones that are suitable for high and/or low pressure systems, as well as the option of brass or plastic shanks. Maybe this bit was overkill but I also disconnected the cable on both ends and cleaned the visible parts - the was some gunk and, after taking the spray diffuser off the WD40 can I forced a whole load of WD40 down inside the cable sheath - again pulling the cable a couple of dozen times to move the WD40 around.
