We've had a dripping overflow pipe recently - the tell tale sign that the float valve on our old 1970s Armitage Shanks toilet cistern was failing again - I replaced the washers using a ball valve repair kit several years previously. The valve was a part 1 float valve installed with the toilet in the 1970's. I did a bit of Googling and was surprised to find that the focus was mostly on how to replace float / ball valves in roof tanks, not in toilet cisterns, so I thought it was time for a video! See further, below "Today's Toolkit" below.

As luck would have it I bought 2 Pegler part 2 float valves a few years ago when I replaced the float valve in our roof tank, and so I decided to see if I could get the one I had left over to fit in place of the part 1 valve that was leaking. Although the part 1 valve was bottom entry and the Pegler part 2 valve side entry, it was simply a case of unscrewing the coupling nut and removing the old part 1 valve, and then screwing the seat joint ring of the new part 2 valve onto the old coupling nut for the part 1 valve. An incredibly simple procedure that took roughly 5 minutes! I'm left with the redundant brass inlet shank of the new part 2 valve which I'll use as a paper weight or add to my scrap metal for the next trip to the scrap metal merchant! End result - a much quieter flush and a quicker refill of the cistern than was the case with the old part 1 valve - it feels like we have a new toilet!
