Silent fill valve in cold water tank

tom1ie · 2019-07-13 20:33:59

Hi all As the title suggests I'm wondering can you install a silent fill valve (like the type you can get for toilets) in your attic cold water tank instead of a ball cock? The noise of the tank filling at night and the drip drip drip as the ball cock slowly closes is annoying me.

You're looking for the Fluidmaster Pro 75B.

"B" Must have the brass shank (threaded connection).
