attic water rank very noisy to fill.

The lips

I have moved into a house where the attic tank fill can be heard very loudly.
I haven't been up there to see the setup but is there a fill valve I can fit that will be quieter?

You may need something like this.

The water runs down the plastic tube rather then "falling" into the bottom of the tank from the valve which makes the racket. If you are on a well fed system make sure you have a filter in the line as they do not like a muck build up. While you are doing it fit an isolating valve in the feed pipe by the tank.
Make sure it is all lagged properly.

or buy yourself a penny ice pop and use the bag in the same way as above. :P

If your going to use one of those then make sure you fit a NRV on the mains water pipe feeding the ballcock, to prevent siphonage in case of a leak

No need for a NRV. It is a collapsible plastic tube so it cannot syphon anything - they aready thought of that.

I'd still fit one, if water can go through one side of the plastic tube then there's a chance that it could go back up it, only a couple of quid, why take the chance.
