Same as old school siphonic action and water level
 
As long as your siphon is not too tall for the cistern, the water will flow over the internal top section of the siphon. Just make sure you cap the original overflow outlet on the cistern.

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
