I've been to 2 jobs this week where I've had to buy a whole float valve because the float has become loose after the installer originally overtightened it and the bit of plastic in the below pic has failed.
It's a lettings agency I work for so I'm thinking there'll be more as they have 400+ properties and he was the plumber before me. I have a fixed price for certain repairs including fixing fill valves.
The only solution viable at the moment is to replace most of the float valve even though it works fine apart from the bit in question, or as I did today, buy a float valve and just take this bit off it and use it on the existing one.
The cheapest I can find these valves is just under a fiver from toolstation, if I could source a handful of just the bit I need I could make more money from each job, erm I mean save the environment because I wouldn't be buying all that plastic to just throw most of it away
Problem is I can't find the bit I need on it's own, tbh I don't know where to start because I have no idea what it's called.
Any ideas?
