cistern

Hello all, This is a follow-up to this post: Fit wall-hung toilet to inside stud wall? - https://www.plumbersforums.net/threads/fit-wall-hung-toilet-to-inside-stud-wall.127877/. I'd like to fit a cistern into a stud wall, which is 100mm wide. Typically, the dimensions of the toilet fixing...

Just move to a new place, toilet flush not enough water. Try to take off the lid to see vit it won't come off. Toilet has the word Vitra on it. Already unscrewed the single button off but the lid seems stuck or glued. Not even move slightly. Anyone have idea want else I could do please? Thanks

Hello Can anyone tell me if it is possible to buy a toilet which has cistern flush capacity (not sure if I have phrased that correctly) of more than 6LTRs? We previously had a Royal Doulton toilet which was accidentally thrown away when had the bathroom changed. New toilet is one of these...

Hi. I think the title says it all really. I was just lining up pipework and stuff and noticed that the Speedfit 15mm X 1/2 BSP tap connector won't connect to the cistern inlet because the inlet filter protrudes out too far to allow the rubber washer on the connector to sit against the outer...

Hi all, Had a toilet installed recently which is now making the attached sound. (No chance of him coming back to sort it...) Anyone know what's causing it? Issue coming from whatever that piece is on the right hand side (please let me know). Cheers

Hello, does anyone know of a side fill valve that works in very low pressure situations? I installed two separate new side fill valves on my concealed cistern today, a Fluidmaster and a Dudley, both didn't seal properly. From reading reviews and forums it looks like it's due to the very low...

The toilets both have a piece of wood between the cistern and the wall.I cannot find an outlet pipe which will let me push the cistern against the wall. Do I have to get a different toilet to achieve this.

Hi all. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine and hope no one is working in lofts at mo. Anyone seen this gunk before in a cold water storage cistern?

Hi Guys, I have a toilet where when you flush, the water from the cistern leaks out from a section of the cistern at the bottom where the seat area begins at the top just before the bowl. Was wondering how this could be happening or how it could be fixed?

Hi new to the plumbing industry, can anyone advise me on why the cistern is not filling with water but can hear the sound of water running? Would it be the side filling valve and maybe replace for a newer one? Also should the symphony i am holding have a washer at the bottom as this doesn’t...

Hi all, further to my replacement of a cictern syphon, I have a small leak I can not seem to sort out. I have tightened the plastic nut as tight as I dare as I expect it is close to snapping. What can I do to stop the leak please as my wife is now seriously not impressed with me replacing a damp...

Hi, we moved into a new house a while back and the main toilet has a large cistern and no dual flush capability. It gets used most of the time rather than the single ensuite we have so I was wondering if someone can recommend a kit to replace the lever with a two button arrangement or other...

Hi, I am just about to move into a new build property. I took the water meter readings and they read 000000,620 I had a look around the property like you do and used the toilet. When I flushed it the water kept trickling into the toilet and not into the cistern. The cistern is built...

I have an older Geberit, installed in 2009 (see photo). All the videos that I can find are about much newer models. No matter where I set the fill level, it over fills and pours down the overflow into the bowl, causing the filling to continue forever. The filling mechanism is quite recent, but...

Hello, I’m trying to replace an antique high level cistern with a more modern ceramic one. The flush pipe is routed in a very specific way so the new one will probably need to be bespoke. Does anyone have any experience, or at least seen, bespoke flush pipes? I was hoping they could be made...

Hi everyone, First time poster, go easy on me! My toilet cistern seems to be overfilling. It's a narrow plastic cistern (not important I imagine) and thankfully the overflow pipe is doing its job. The floating mechanism is working in that it's moving up and down, though it has a lot of...

Morning everyone. We have a leak from one of cistern holding down bolts on our close coupled WC. This has occurred after a plumber replaced the flush valve yesterday. The problem is now that the plumber says he can't get the cistern off to replace the bolts because it is glued ( probably...

Hello, Getting some work done in my downstairs WC and my installer and given me a list of products to buy with some recommendations. We are replacing the exposed cistern toilet with a hidden one. It will be a back to wall, floor standing pan with a shelf above it to put stuff on. I've been...

Hi all, just a side note to start, I am not a plumber and have pretty much zero knowledge about plumbing. I have three toilets in my house, a downstairs one, big bathroom one and an en-suite one. There was a rattling noise coming from the downstairs toilet whenever the chain had been flushed...

Hi folks Following on from another thread I made recently, the plumber has agreed that the new cold feed he added to our loft cistern should have been lower than the existing feed to the cylinder for hot (he put them both roughly the same at 50mm) and he is proposing to put it right. In terms...
