Geberit Type 380 fill valve for tank 240.700 review

The manufacturer's own valve for one specific Geberit tank — which is either exactly right for you or completely wrong, and the listing says which.

What you are getting

A Geberit Type 380 fill valve for the manufacturer’s surface-mounted tank number 240.700, side entry at 3/8 in, with the fill height set by turning a spindle, in noise group I to DIN 4109.

Specific is the point

Almost every other valve in this hub says “universal”. This one names one tank.

That is either a problem or the entire reason to buy it. Lift your tank lid and read the number molded into the plastic. If it says 240.700, this is the part designed for it and nothing else needs to be checked.

The spindle adjustment

Fill height set by turning a spindle rather than sliding a clip. It is repeatable: you can go back and change it by a known amount, which matters when a tank is filling a centimeter too high and dribbling into the overflow.

Noise group I

The quiet classification to DIN 4109, same as the best universal valve in this hub. On a surface tank in a family bathroom that is a comfort rather than a necessity.

What you are really paying for

Certainty now, and availability in ten years. Genuine parts for this manufacturer’s tanks stay orderable long after generic equivalents have been discontinued.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • The manufacturer's own part for a named tank, so fit is a certainty rather than a hope
  • States 3/8 in side entry and noise group I to DIN 4109
  • Fill height adjusted by turning a spindle, which is a repeatable setting rather than a slide-and-hope

Compromises

  • Specified for one named tank — outside that, this is the wrong valve
  • The only fill valve on this shelf, and $34.89 for a part that fits one family of Geberit tanks
  • No fill rate published, unlike the universal valve beside it here

The questions we get

How do I find my tank number?

It is usually molded into the plastic inside the tank lid or on the body. Lift the lid and look before ordering — this valve is specified for 240.700, and "it looks similar" is not the same statement.

Is a genuine part worth the premium?

On an in-wall tank, unquestionably — the panel comes off once. On a surface tank it is a smaller argument, and a universal valve at half the price will usually do. What you are buying is the certainty and the availability of the part in ten years.

Fluidmaster 830V 3 in dual flush valve $29 A DUAL FLUSH valve, sold as an exact replacement, 3 in, with full and half flush adjustable to match the factory settings. Named for Glacier Bay, AquaSource, Project Source and other dual flush toilets, and 2-PIECE ONLY — the maker states it is not compatible with 1-piece toilets.3 in.NOT PUBLISHED, and NO CLEARANCE FIGURE either, where the 3 in Fluidmaster kit on this shelf gives 10 in.NONE — it replaces the outlet valve. Installation is stated as easy, and whether the tank must come off is NOT STATED either way.
Sloan Regal R-1003-A rebuild kit $29 A REPAIR KIT FOR A FLUSHOMETER, not a tank valve at all: an A-38-A diaphragm, a handle repair kit, a V-551-A vacuum breaker kit and a tailpiece O-ring, for Sloan Regal 3.5 GPF manual water closet flushometers. COMMERCIAL, and NOT for a domestic tank toilet.NOT APPLICABLE — a flushometer has no tank. The compatibility reference is clamshell number 33170011, and the maker states that 3317003 and 33170011 are the same item.NOT APPLICABLE.NOT PUBLISHED as a thread. The kit replaces worn or end-of-service-life assemblies, and no tools are stated.
Danco HydroRight dual flush converter $26 A DUAL FLUSH CONVERSION: it replaces the flapper, the chain and the handle together with two buttons, on a Perma fit silicone seal stated chemical resistant and stated not to warp, in durable plastic with a chrome handle. It will NOT FIT MANSFIELD TOILETS. The maker claims up to 70% less water on the reduced flush, more than 15,000 gallons a year for a family of four, and states that the reduced flush is the one needed four times out of five.2 in — where the Fluidmaster dual flush on this shelf is 3 in, which is the one figure that decides between them.NOT PUBLISHED. What the listing gives instead is a CLEARANCE: 10 in minimum from the top of the flush valve opening to the inside of the tank lid.NONE — it sits on the outlet. Installation is drop-in, no tools, under 20 minutes, with no tank removal.
