Are there jellied heat-resistant valves for the toilet?
Hello! I dug up the Internet along and across (the campaign needs to understand incomprehensible words), I did not find the answer to my question.
In the house there is no supply of cold / mountains of water, there is only water from the system. Since we have installed the toilet, and in winter in cold weather the system is heated from the heart (approximately 90 ° C), the filling valve loses its ability to work adequately - you have to change it several times during the winter. The drain valve has been working for several years, does not flow.
Question: Are there heat-resistant valves for hot water? Thank!

Correctly called the “intake valve." They are made mainly of plastic, sometimes metal elements are contained. You can read more about the design here. It is also written there that for normal operation of the mechanism, the water temperature should be in the range of 2-45 degrees Celsius.
In your case, water with a temperature of 90 degrees is supplied to the tank, which leads to deformation of the intake valve and other mechanisms, so they begin to work incorrectly and wear out quickly. Alternatively, you can place a water tank in the attic and connect it to the toilet flush tank.
