Perfect, I climbed into the roof on a hot day and followed some other videos that used a different float valve design and was turning the wrong nut the wrong way.... this video look like what I needed to do

Hi there i have fitted a side entry fill valve, there doesnt seem to be sealing washer on the inlet union pipe, is there supposed to be a fibre or rubber washer, it weeps a bit i have put a load of ptfe tape round ot, also when it fills up there is a horrible groaning noise for about 15 seconds.....any advice Please Fred in Essex.

I think there should be a big flat rubber washer at the union, Toolstation usually has all that stuff, an even skin of PTFE could solve it, or cut a washer from the neck of a hot water bottle.
