 +Before placing an order, it pays to note three things on site: whether the cistern sits flush to the pan or is wall-mounted above it, the fill valve's body length if there is a tight fit inside the tank, and whether the existing lever operates through the lid or via an external arm. Plumb2U carries fill valves, flush valves and levers suited to both close-coupled and low-level cisterns, stocked at trade prices for plumbers who need to get the right part on the first order rather than the second. Trade supplies despatch from Plumb2U's Epsom base to plumbers across the UK, and Plumb2U remains a straightforward call when the cistern type is not obvious from the pan alone.
  
 +The lever type matters too. Close-coupled cisterns almost always use a side lever or a push button through the lid, while older low-level suites more often run a side lever connected by an external link arm. Ordering a replacement lever without checking which type is fitted is a common cause of parts being sent back.
 +
 +Specifying a fill valve replacement sounds like a simple job until the plumber gets to site and finds the water supply enters the cistern from an unexpected direction. Fill valves are built around one of two entry positions, side-entry or bottom-entry, and the wrong choice means either a valve that will not connect to the existing pipework or one that fouls the cistern wall on the way in.

 +See the details at [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Plumb2u/page/8CF57C08-8163-41C8-A55A-C8F06EB71FC9|Plumb2U UK]].
 +
 +Before ordering, check where the existing supply pipe meets the cistern and measure the available depth if the tank is compact. Plumb2U stocks both side-entry and bottom-entry fill valves, including combination types that cover both configurations from one body, at trade prices for plumbers who need to match the part to the pipework rather than the other way round. Plumb2U's range, backed by next-day despatch on the common models, makes it straightforward to specify the correct entry position before the part goes in the van.
 +
 +A flush valve, by contrast, works as a straightforward seal at the base of the cistern that lifts to let water fall directly through into the pan under gravity, with no siphoning action involved, and shuts again once the float or timer mechanism allows it to reseat. Flush valves are what almost all dual-flush cisterns use, since a siphon's all-or-nothing action makes a genuine short flush difficult to achieve, whereas a valve can simply be held open for a shorter or longer period.
