How to use
To install the valve, first shut off the water supply to the toilet and drain the cistern completely. Unscrew the existing valve from the side of the tank and remove it. Insert the new Alca plast A150-3/8"-PL-01 valve through the side hole, ensuring the rubber seal is correctly positioned on the outside to prevent leaks. Tighten the nut securely by hand, then connect the water supply hose. Once installed, turn the water supply back on and adjust the float mechanism to reach the desired water level in the tank.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your cistern requires a side-inlet connection
- Check that your water supply hose is compatible with a 3/8 inch thread
- Ensure there is sufficient space inside the cistern for the float mechanism to move freely
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of mineral buildup or debris, especially in areas with hard water, to ensure the long-term functionality and quiet operation of the flushing system.
