Abstract
A valve fitting for filling a sanitary cistern includes a connection element, a shutoff valve including an actuation element, and a float-actuated filling valve. The connection element, shutoff valve and filling valve are interconnected to form a water passage into the cistern. A float is connected to the filling valve. The actuation element of the shutoff valve is rotatable about a rotational axis when the float is in the operating position thereof, the shutoff valve being operationally usable in the valve fitting in at least two different positions, the connection element configured to be mounted at an opening in the left-hand cistern side wall in one of the positions, and at an opening in the right-hand cistern side wall in another of the positions, and the actuation element being accessible from the front of the valve fitting in the at least two positions of the shutoff valve.
