Has anyone replaced a Fordham Flush Panel toilet fill valve with modern one with integral overflow mechnism?
 
Don’t forget a syphon IS an internal overflow mechanism, as long as you get the correct height one for your cistern there is no need for an external overflow.
 
Thanks for your comment but the issue is the current valve requires an external overflow pipe while modern ones have integral overflow mechanism that does not require an external overflow pipe that improves the situation.

???? A lower syphon fitted to a cistern will not require any overflow pipe if the syphon internal of highest part is well below level of any toilet handle or existing overflow.
You can then simply just plug off or seal up the original overflow once you have the new lower syphon installed

We have a 1980's toilet and it normaly works by: 1.When flushed the deposit in the bowl is sucked out 2. the bowl fills up again with clean water. This is not happening now, when flushed the water fills the toilet bowl then emptys and refils. What can I do? Is it a profesional plumber callout?
