Customer Experiences

Alistair Thorne After years of putting up with a whistling toilet that sounded like a steam train, I swapped out the old mechanism for a Torbeck bottom entry valve with a brass shank. The installation was incredibly straightforward even for a novice like me, and the anti-siphon design gives me real peace of mind; it is now so quiet that I actually have to check if it’s finished filling.

Siobhan O’Reilly As a property manager, I’ve tried countless brands, but the Torbeck side entry valves are my go-to for durability, especially with their removable filters that handle the sediment in our local water supply. I recently fitted three in a Victorian conversion, and the compact footprint saved me a massive headache in those notoriously tight, old-fashioned cisterns.

Gareth Whitaker I picked up an adjustable height Torbeck valve from my local merchant to fix a leaking cistern, and the build quality—specifically the sturdy plastic shank and the pressure range adaptability—is leagues ahead of the generic parts. It’s been running perfectly at a consistent 3 bar for six months now, and the refill speed is significantly faster than the unit I replaced.

Torbeck FAQ

Why is my cistern filling so slowly after installing a Torbeck valve?

The most common cause of a slow refill is a blockage in the internal filter or flow restrictor, which can easily be resolved by turning off the water and rinsing the removable filter under a cold tap.

How do I adjust the water level in my toilet using a Torbeck valve?

For minor adjustments, you can rotate the float arm—clockwise to lower the water level and counter-clockwise to raise it—ensuring the water line remains at least 25mm below the overflow pipe.

Can I use bleach or chlorine cleaning tablets in the cistern with these valves?

No, you should avoid using in-cistern chemical tablets as they can degrade the plastic components and rubber seals, leading to leaks and potentially voiding your warranty.

Why is there a slight dripping sound coming from the valve during the refill cycle?

It is perfectly normal for a small amount of water to drip from the top of the valve or under the float arm while it is in operation; this is a design feature to ensure the mechanism moves freely.

How do I adjust the height of a telescopic Torbeck valve?

To change the overall height, simply pull up the locking ring to release the mechanism, slide the valve to your desired position, and then firmly push the locking ring back down to secure it.

What should I do if the valve fails to shut off completely?

Turn off the water supply and remove the top cap to inspect the rubber diaphragm; usually, a quick rinse to remove grit or scale from the seal will restore a watertight shut-off.
