Toilet cistern overflow outlet

[Possom]

Below is a photo of the underside of a toilet cistern and the back of the same cistern.

The white plastic nut on the right in the 1st pic leads to, as far as I'm aware, is known as the fill valve.

However, do cisterns not have two such similar openings? That is, one on one side for the fill valve and then one on the other side for an overflow outlet? As can be seen there is not one on the left of the cistern.

Your syphon will have an integrated overflow.

Oh, so overflowed water would travel through the central opening into the bowl?

Ian H has the answered your question,re overflow.

Just confirm with your china crap collector supply company that they have supplied the correct kit of fittings,they should have supplied instruction instructions,or maybe they supply a link to here.

As with most people, I have literally no knowledge of toilet cisterns.

The question I asked above is different to that which I asked previously, which related to which washers are used.

The answer may seem obvious to someone who knows about such things, but not necessarily to someone who does not. Hence my question.

Can you not ask the company that supplied the toilet ? they will know what exactly you have been supplied and have a legal duty of care.
Have the toilet supply company included installation instructions ? or any reference material.

Yes there is an instruction sheet. I had used the instruction sheet to install the two plastic parts into the cistern which can just be seen in the second. Though due to your suggestion in the other thread that these may well be lower quality parts (which they appear to be), I will purchase some replacement parts by FluidMaster - a brand which you suggested.

I noticed on the old toilet currently installed that there is what appears to be an outlet opening in the cistern. Since there is not one in this new cistern, I had wondered why that might be. But it appears, from Ian's post above, that overflow can fall through the central opening.

So when I'm purchasing a new FluidMaster part, I'll ensure it has an integrated overflow.

I shall be having a professional install the toilet once I have better quality parts installed within the cistern.

Thanks,yes the overflow is built in to the syphon but a photo of the syphon would confirm that.

You have most probably seen this info http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/how-to/toilets/install-toilet

To be honest,fit what has been supplied and in the future replace with named manufacture parts.Its for your own use so a little more cost is worth it.

Happy crapping

These days Cisterns have internal overflow into the pan, (water saving,) if it overflows one can see it in the pan, the old style overflow that went outside if it overflows people tend to ignore it and waste water.
Check on Instructions that it is a new style cistern.
