When it may not be suitable

This valve is specifically designed for vertical installation and may not be compatible with cisterns that require side-entry or bottom-entry valves with different mounting configurations. It is not intended for use in high-pressure industrial systems or non-standard plumbing setups that deviate from the 1/2-inch connection requirement.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1/2 inch
• Orientation: Vertical
• Application: Toilet cistern water intake
• Design: Economical and durable construction

How to use

To install the valve, first shut off the water supply to the toilet cistern and drain any remaining water. Remove the old filling valve by unscrewing the connection nut from the water supply line and the mounting nut securing the valve to the cistern base. Insert the ANI_PLAST WC5550 valve through the designated hole in the cistern, ensuring the gasket is properly seated to prevent leaks. Tighten the mounting nut securely by hand, then reconnect the water supply line. Once installed, turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks while the cistern fills to the desired level.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cistern requires a vertical filling valve
• Confirm that your water supply line uses a 1/2-inch connection
• Check the available space inside the cistern to ensure the valve fits correctly

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of mineral buildup or debris that could affect performance. If the water quality in your area is hard, periodic cleaning of the internal components is recommended to maintain optimal flow and quiet operation.
