Put it all back on and it fills up at...

    How do you "tie up" a torbeck?

    Not sure how they work. Got a feeling their being equilibrium valves (?) has something to do with it. Just noticed lifting up the arm manually doesn't stop them. So if can't turn off water and someone has put one in a fortic you can't tie up the ball valve to isolate the water then? Is there are...

    Torbeck Valve

    Fitted a new Torbeck inlet valve to toilet cistern a couple of days ago. Appeared to work perfectly - no noise or vibration at all when shutting off. But 24 hours later it's producing a loud thump in the pipes (pipe hammer?) every time the valve shuts off. The valve is fed directly from the...
