    Custom Flush Pipe High Level Cistern

    concealed cistern/pan compatibility

    I was wondering if anyone would know if this Tavistock wall hung pan would be compatible with this Geberit concealed cistern .

    Overfilling cistern - floating mechanism not halting inlet

    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...

    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...

    Geberit slim cistern fill valve

    To get the latest geberit fill valve in to a slim cistern - disassemble and remove the part with "ears" that makes it too fat for the cistern width - then reassemble. Use the clip from the old fill valve to reattach.

    Cistern push button size question

    Recently replaced an enclosed cistern with one of the exact same size but the new push flush button (pneumatic) is far larger than the old one (cable-operated).
