Fill valve ALCADRAIN C150-1/2 for ceramic cisterns, side-fed connection

ALCADRAIN C150-1/2 is a side-fed fill valve designed for ceramic toilet cisterns. It regulates the water inlet to the cistern after flushing, providing consistent refill performance for toilets with side connection installations. The valve is suitable for replacement of existing side-fed mechanisms or for use in new cistern installations where a side inlet is required.

Advantages

The fill valve offers reliable water level control and smooth operation with a compact design that fits most ceramic cisterns with side feed. Made for straightforward installation and maintenance, the valve minimizes the need for frequent adjustments. Its construction reduces noise during refill and helps prevent overfilling through stable float control.

Suitable for

• Residential ceramic toilet cisterns with side-fed inlet
• Commercial washrooms requiring a side connection refill valve
• Replacement of worn or leaking side-fed fill valves
• New installations where plumbing enters the cistern from the side

Key specifications

• Type: Side-fed cistern fill valve for ceramic toilets
• Connection orientation: Side inlet
• Control: Float-operated water shut-off and refill regulation
• Materials: Corrosion-resistant plastics and elastomers for wetted parts
• Compatibility: Designed for standard domestic and commercial ceramic cistern geometries

How to use

Shut off the water supply before removing the old valve. Remove the cistern lid and access the side inlet area. Detach the existing feed and unscrew the old valve if necessary, then position the ALCADRAIN C150-1/2 into the side inlet and secure the connection according to the cistern manufacturer’s guidance. Reconnect the water supply, open the shut-off valve, and allow the cistern to refill. Adjust the float height if required to obtain the desired water level and test one or more flush cycles to confirm correct operation and absence of leaks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, verify compatibility with the cistern side inlet dimensions before purchase. Use basic hand tools for installation and avoid overtightening plastic fittings. Periodically inspect the valve and seals for wear or mineral buildup and clean or replace components as needed to maintain consistent performance.
