Looking down at the top of the Silvia. The top of the valve assembly extends through the reservoir lid.

The copper tubing is a J-shape, and runs to the back of the Silvia, where a needle valve and a plastic water line connect to the feed assembly at the wall. The front of the Silvia is at the bottom of the picture.

Lifting the reservoir lid, and looking at the bottom. Note the location and angle of the float valve assembly. This allows the float to miss the two water hoses that go into the reservoir. The front of the Silvia is at the bottom of the picture. The float valve and float are angled towards the center, longitudinally, of the reservoir.
