changing toilet syphon

Think the fluidmaster one I have linked will fit 2inch and 1.5 inch via supplying 2 different sealing washers. That sound right?

A Thanks wouldn't go amiss for the lads

A optima 50 from plumbcenter is what you need . Everything in the pack

Nope, the clue's in the description. The one you linked to is a doughnut for a 1 1/2" flush valve outlet, there would be no adapter. The drop valve that @thereisawizza linked to has a 1 1/2" outlet with an extra part to the sealing washer that can then fit a 2" cistern.

Thanks Yes I have got one like the one linked that has a 1 1/2 inch outlet that has an extra part to the sealing washer that can fit 2 inch. I have also got a 1 1/2 inch donut. And bolts. This all sound right?

 

[Madrab]

Yup, you really won't know until you get it all off of course but sounds like you have all the bits you may need. Just do it at a time that if anything else is needed there are places open that you can get bits from.

 

[Riley26]

Thanks can I just ask are the flexi connecter that connect the toilet cold feed to the cistern. Are the rubbers in them usually ok to re-seal once re connecting?

 

[Madrab]

Depends on how tight the person before ramped it up usually but chances are in your favour. Get a washer just in case.

 

[Riley26]

Thanks is it just a 1/2 rubber washer. Guess I'll be able to tell by looking once taken off.

 

[Madrab]

Yup

 

[Riley26]

Not the shower hose ones though?

 

[Madrab]

lol, nope shower hose ones are for shower hoses Just get the fibre ones if you can't find rubber ones, do the same job.

Thanks, sorry last question. If it is a 2inch flush valve in and I replace with the fluidmaster one that is 1.5 inch but with the bigger washer. Will the 1.5 inch donut seal correctly on the toilet pan? I am guessing so or it would be pointless selling a flush valve that will fit 2 and 1.5 inch cistern holes.

 

[Madrab]

It's more about how wide the flush hole in the CC pan is, the doughnut's usually have the same outside diameter and just a different sized internal hole dia so the pan should be the same.

Unless it's ideal standard.
