2'' cable operated syphons

[JCplumb]

Had a hell of a time trying to find one of these for a vanity cistern today.
There's a Skylo one, a Flomasta, a Macdee but they're all made for cc toilets and have the wrong thread for the coupling nut that compresses the rubber seal onto the flush pipe. I found 5 of those nuts in my box o' bits and none of them fitted but they all fitted the old broken syphon so the thread must be different :'(
Ended up fitting a new concealed cistern when really all that was needed was a 2'' syphon. Turned a 1hr job into 3 hours including 20 miles of trecking to different merchants.
Wouldn't be a problem if they made 1 1/2'' flush pipes with a sharp enough 90deg bend on them to work on vanity w.c.'s, then could just bung a Fluidmaster in and change the flush pipe and use the 2'' Fluidmaster adapter.

Rant over - reason for post...

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells a proper 2'' syphon with cable/button and have actually fitted it themselves onto a 2'' flush pipe so knows that it's not a mental thread size?
If so, where and what brand.
TYVM 🙂

Oh and with a standard sized button (Looking at you MacDee!)
And not pneumatic as the bellows don't last 5 minutes.
TYVM again 😉

You can get a sharp 90 flush pipe from screwfix

I asked for one of those and when they brought it out the bend was swept a good couple of inches, not like the photo at all.
They have a 2'' to 1.5'' with a really tight bend but not the 1.5 I saw today.

Problem with that is who wants to wait for an online delivery to fix their loo when a new cistern with new fill valve and flush valve is in stock at poofix for <£30, also there's no telling if the thread will take the compression nut thing as I found out today.

Yeah, that's what I asked for, I suppose it's possible they brought out an old stock one or the wrong one, but the one they showed me had a big sweep on it.
Next time I'm in there I'll ask for another look armed with the picture in the brochure.
Cheers guys.
Although it would be even easier (cheaper = more profitable) if there was a 2'' syphon that has the right thread to go onto the flush pipe in situ 😉
