Viva Sanitary Skylo AIR Side Entry Fill Valve — SKYAIR02
The Viva Sanitary Skylo AIR SKYAIR02 (FTB13105) is a compact, high-efficiency side-entry toilet cistern fill valve engineered to fit narrow and space-restricted cistern installations. Featuring a WRAS-approved AG Air Gap compliant design, it prevents backflow into the mains drinking water supply without the need for an external overflow arrangement. It incorporates an enclosed float shield to prevent mechanical snagging against the cistern walls, delayed fill technology to reduce water consumption per flush, and a heavy-duty solid brass threaded tail to eliminate cross-threading risks during connection.

Key Features
- AG Air Gap Compliance: Certified to British Standards and UK Water Regulations to eliminate risk of contaminated back-siphonage into mains water.
- Solid Brass Threaded Shank: Robust ½" BSP brass inlet prevents cross-threading, stripping, or shearing under mains line water pressure.
- Eco Delayed Fill Action: Delays opening until the flush valve has fully reseated, saving up to 1 litre of clean water per flush cycle.
- Enclosed Float Chamber: Compact float shield protects moving internal components from fouling against cistern walls or flush mechanisms.
- Near-Silent Hydraulic Operation: Engineered to provide smooth, quiet refilling and soft shut-off to eliminate water hammer shock.
Installation & Compatibility
Suitable for low-level, close-coupled, and concealed toilet cisterns fitted with a side-entry inlet aperture. The standard UK ½" BSP male brass thread connects directly to standard 15mm flexible tap connectors or compression swivel nuts. Operates across low- and high-pressure systems (0.2 bar to 16 bar). Ensure the sealing washer is placed on the inside face of the cistern wall before hand-tightening the brass locknut externally.
