Spanish term or phrase: Grifo inferior telescópico compacto
Hi all,

I'm translating some product descriptions for an online retail site from Spanish for Spain to British English and am having trouble with a particular product. The product in question is a replacement part for a water system, but I have no idea what it is unfortunately. It can be found at the following link:

What would be the most appropriate term to use here please?

Many thanks!

After a little more research - this could be described as a 'bottom entry, sliding float, toilet fill valve'.
The 'telescopico' is misleading. It refers to the float (the fat part in the middle) that slides up and down with the level of the water in the tank. 'Inferior' refers to bottom entry, rather than side entry.
