Viva Skylo 10mm (3/8" BSP) Bottom Entry Cistern Fill Valve — PP0020/A
The Viva Skylo PP0020/A is a compact, bottom-entry toilet cistern float fill valve manufactured by Viva Sanitary. Designed specifically for installations requiring a 10mm / 3/8" BSP connection, this telescopic valve adjusts smoothly from 8" to 12" in height to fit a wide array of domestic cisterns. It features a protective float shield to eliminate internal snagging and operates seamlessly across a wide pressure range of 0.2 to 15 bar.
Discontinued Product Notice & Direct Alternative:
This model (PP0020/A) has been discontinued by Viva Sanitary. We strongly recommend the official direct factory upgrade: Viva Sanitary Skylo UniFill Universal 4-in-1 Cistern Float Valve (UNI-P), which includes both 3/8" and 1/2" connections for bottom- and side-entry cisterns.

Installation & Measurement Advice
Check Thread Size Before Ordering: This valve features a 10mm / 3/8" BSP male thread (measures approximately 16.6mm outside diameter across the threads). It will not connect directly to a standard UK 1/2" BSP tap connector (approx. 20.9mm OD). If your supply pipe is standard UK 1/2", please select the universal Skylo UniFill (UNI-P) instead.
