geberit 223.830.21.1

Seal needs replacing but I can't for the life of me remove the valve. I don't think it's a clip on, but I can only turn it maybe 20 degrees in either direction. Does anyone know how to remove it? Cheers.

Sorry to bump, but can anybody help?

My Geberit valve (similar(ish) but not the same as the one in question) has two tabs at the bottom, outside of the valve and you just press them in towards each other and lift and the valve comes straight out.
Must confess to having never considered popping the blisters before ... silly old me has always just bought new ones for a pound or so.

Mine is twist and pull.

Have you looked for instructions on the makers website?

Edit
Oh, I see @denso13 has shown it

Thanks for help, now sorted. After a lot of struggling, I eventually managed to turn it enough for it to lift off. Couple of very large water blisters on the seal which i popped and it's now working fine.

Hi gill_d,
I have the same problem, unable to remove the valve. It just twists but wouldn’t come off. Please tell me how you managed to remove it.

Thanks

Hi All, I’m having exactly the same problem with my valve which is the same type as yours. It twists a little bit but then won’t twist anymore and also won’t lift out. Anybody got any ideas as to how I can get it out please?

I'm having the exact same problem as the two posts above, I can turn it a fair way but it still wont lift out. Does anyone know if the Rubber Washer can be removed without having to take the Flush Valve out of the Cistern? I can feel it but don't want to pull it off and then not be able to replace it. Thanks for any help.
