Didn't come with instructions, but simple to install. Only issue was I needed a pipe cutter as it was too long when inserted into float. No big deal, if you have one.

As some 'one size fits all' items, you have to adjust the height of the float to the proper level. Since you have to do this with it installed, having small hands will help. If you have big hands, it's not easy. You may have to fill and drain the reservoir several times to get the float level set right.
It's made of plastic so it should never rust, but that also means you need to take care not to over tighten anything.
If I could have bought the original valve (my float was fine) I would have instead of getting this. Therefore my recommendation is only if need the whole thing or can't buy the part you need separately.
