Abstract
The fill valve incorporates a housing ( ) that has a vertical water-carrying channel ( ) that leads from an inlet ( ) to be fastened on the flush tank bottom ( ) to a float-controlled diaphragm valve ( ). The diaphragm valve ( ) incorporates in a diaphragm ( ) a passage for the pressure equalization between a first chamber ( ) in front of the diaphragm ( ) and a second chamber ( ) behind the diaphragm ( ). To actuate the diaphragm valve ( ) a pilot valve ( ) is provided. The diaphragm valve ( ) is disposed laterally on the housing ( ), thus permitting a low overall height.
