I was / am 99% certain that it's that rubber so i'll inspect it when I remove the valve, hopefully simple enough to remove.
Not sure if access is easy for shutting supply off - I should imagine it will be, he sent me some pics... wonder if this screw thing is to shut water off.
Ok, there should be an isolation valve somewhere which i'll have to locate - it's an enclosed cistern so hopefully they haven't hidden it somewhere stupid.
I believe there's a different between a syphon and a flush valve? and the flush valves are more common in enclosed cisterns?
And might be easier to just replace the rubber on the valve if it is definitely that or I will have to remove the whole cistern wouldn't I to replace the full thing.
I replaced mine last year, didnt involve anything below the cistern at all,Seems a bit of a hassle replacing the full valve for the sake of a diaphragm / rubber? ... i've seen tutorials / videos on YouTube and to replace the full valve, you need to unbolt it from the bottom (underneath) of the cistern which probably wouldn't be too simple on an enclosed cistern.
Watch a YouTube video of a flush valve replacement. All the ones I've seen have had to unscrew the valve from underneath the cistern ... the water pipe that feeds the water into the pan goes into this valve.
yes, you're correct,Watch a YouTube video of a flush valve replacement. All the ones I've seen have had to unscrew the valve from underneath the cistern ... the water pipe that feeds the water into the pan goes into this valve.
Just doing what you did to mine.
Seriously though if you needed to ask that question I suggest you undertake all future work under supervision
My brother is having a bit of trouble with his toilet pan - water is slowly seeping through into it and I think it's the rubber at the bottom of the valve.... if that's what it's called anyway?
This is it - can someone confirm what this is actually called? syphon or a valve etc and does it just twist off to access the rubber to inspect / change it?
Thanks :)
