..hmmm something new..

So your one of those

Knew I would get stick for that . Not caked all over the flushpipe...just a bead where flush one meets the pan. Actually, why am I explaining myself

Altecnic - Robofil Auto-Fill Loop Complete With Pressure Reducing Valve - CA-300001 One of theses inside

Its fully patented (to me) in EU - if it was so simple would not get a patent - your getting warm

It's not a part I would say leaks that often

Agreed, if you were going out to these leaking regularly then you'd use this product, but flush cones only need to be installed correctly to not leak.
Like the fluxuator, this is a solution to a non existent problem.

Hi JC I agree with you the patent office floor is littered with devices that are protected but nobody wants to buy . I think Chris will do well with this because of marketing and some multi large outfits might well specify it - thats the trick. My company host a number of devices and help their inventor - succeed or save plenty of £ssss not progressing a notion that as you say has no legs.

Worth giving a go. Only problem I can see is if it ever leaks

The element of most washing machines uses a very similar principle. Seen a similar principle used to seal copper wastes into an iron stack boss too. Probably it never will leak.

So does it keep filling the system to a set pressure? What happens if you get a big leak, split rad for instance. House flooded? Not being funny, just curious

Same as an open-vented system. How about using either in conjuntion with Water Block Shut Off Valve - 13756 - Isolating, Flow Control & Service | BES.co.uk (from what I can gather, this device stops flow if more than a pre-set value (5-50l) is exceeded in one go, but the instructions are slightly vague).

Essentially you have it Ric - with a not rocket science extra one way valve. Its taken 5 years and many £'s to set it up, using patent attorney and commercial lawyers to protect it EU wide and in the far east (selected areas). MFD is on sale now to non end user initially then B&Q and Amazon soon as its an out the box diy fit in 5 mins - It it is manufactured and backed by Flowflex largest manu of plumbing and heating fittings in Uk. Thats what my company do for myself and others who approach us with ideas. My patent is available for anybody to see world wide
