Connecting your Water Tank to Mains Water

2) Can we automatically refill the tank?
Yes — you can order the tank with a ball valve and float, which we will fit before dispatch.
3) What fitting will I need to connect to the Ball Valve & Float (Inlet)?
The ball valve is a ½” male fitting, so you will require one of the following:

4) Which side is the ball valve and float fitted?
The ball valve and float are fitted on the same side as the outlet inside the recess at the optimal height for a full tank.
