Flush Valve Washer 63 x 32 x 3 2 pià ¨ ces

Package arrived swiftly, and the washers fitted perfectly and worked immediately.

Wow, something really scary has happened to our humble toilets. It used to be that every once in a while the overflow would start running through the little pipe on the outside of the house. The big orange ball float would then need to have its rubber washer changed. Of course, the fact that the water was running and all one’s neighbours could see it added impetus before one even thought about the waste of water. Now, however, our modern toilets leak water with a hissing noise into the pan. There then follows a really scary experience as one unscrews the round, chromed knob on top for what seems an age only to be confronted by a really complex mechanism or two that needs a degree in mechanical engineering to decipher. I am grateful to the people who posted the YouTube videos and also to Amazon who stock all the bits one needs. This is a great comfort as I approached my leaky cistern toilet thingy. My first problem was that I couldn’t turn off the water. OK being a weedy chap does not help but I found that I just could not get a screwdriver in there to turn the ISV water isolation valve. I thought I was going to have to turn the mains water off and replace the flexible pipe complete with ISV – fortunately available on Amazon. Then I discovered by gently turning the pipe I could alter the angle of the ISV and then get a really long and wide-bladed screwdriver to turn the thing after a quick squirt of WD40. I then realised I didn’t want to do this more than once so I ordered all the bits that I was likely to need on Amazon and they came within a day or two. I learned that the leak is either coming from the silicone flush valve which is like a small soft, flat doughnut that sits below the complicated column thingy that looks like something that should be used at Cape Canaveral. This sits in the middle of the cistern below the dual flush buttons. The second possibility is the diaphragm that is present attached to a little blue lever on the bottom entry (some are side entry ie where the water comes in) inlet float valve. This sits a little to the side of the cistern. It’s like a modern ball valve, I guess. I’d sent off from Amazon for a completely new one and an identical one was received to the one in my Jacuzzi toilet. This allowed me to practice in the dry along with instructions that Geberit include before having to turn the water off. I decided to start with the second option simply because as soon as I touched the inlet float valve assembly, which looks like a spacecraft from a science fiction film, then the water stopped running, at least for a short time. I flicked open the little blue lever by turning it clockwise a quarter turn, the blue lever then swings away from where the peg goes into the groove at the bottom and one can then pull it straight out. You can then see and access the inlet float valve diaphragm. Be careful when you remove it as it is quite squishy, wet and difficult to remove. I used some small pliers but be careful as you don’t want to damage it and also remember which way round it goes as its quite floppy and I should imagine if you are not careful you could end up putting the new one in the wrong way round which is not advised, so just keep your wits about you. Please note also, I took the lever assembly and the diaphragm out of my complete new unit as the price of the whole thing is only slightly more than simply buying a couple of new diaphragms. I was feeling very chuffed for getting this far. Sadly, as soon as I wrestled with the ISV again, and turned the water back on, the toilet continued to leak. After once again turning the water off, I then squeezed the clips on either side of the Cape Canaveral launch tower and out came the assembly. I saw that the original Geberit flush valve was all bobbly. I therefore replaced this from my by now extensive collection of toilet spares. All accounts say that the lettering should face upwards as you locate it on the bottom of the launch tower assembly. I am not sure if the little letters make that much difference but I was not keen to wrestle with my ISV again, so I observed this. It is then a simple matter of slotting the launch tower back in place; you should hear the clips attach as you push it down. If you need to at this point you can measure its height against the lid of the cistern and the chromed button. If you need to adjust it then you need to swing outwards the two blue clips at the top that operate like a mini lock gate and once open you can change the height of the tower assembly so that it meets up with the bottom surface of the cistern lid and of course the chromed button. Close the blue clips again as you reposition the cistern lid. Hopefully a minute or so after opening the ISV valve again you will be greeted by a completely quiet toilet, and long may it remain so.

Good service. Parts arrived quickly and it was a simple fix to stop the constantly running syphon and refill noise. Much better quality than the original blistered part

Great replacement for the old grey eager which tend to blister. Very easy to fit just look up a video on YouTube if you are unsure. Stops water leaking into the pan.

We have a RAK ceramics loo in one of our bathrooms, and live in an area of heavy timescale, so every 3 or 4 years this washer fails. It tends to bubble and thus does not seal 100% and lets small amounts of water through. We hear this as the cistern fills slightly every 5 minutes or so, so get a very short burst of fill, c. 0.5 seconds. You just need to untwist the flush unit, take off the old washer and put on the new, and hey presto, issue resolved. It literally takes 2 minutes to do. Don’t forget to do this over a towel though, as the flush unit is submerged in water, so is wet when removed. If you don’t know how to replace this, just watch a YouTube video, there are loads out there, but also be prepared to turn the water off if you cannot do it, as water will flow continuously from the cistern to the pan whilst the flush unit is removed.

Great replacement washers when the flush starts to leak, which saves money for anyone on metered water. Work fine and same size as original and marked up as Gerberit part.

I Ordered these to replace the original one that had blistered ,but they don't seal as good as the original, the rubber does not seem as flexible as the original grey one

Replacing this silicon seal will eliminate the leak from the cistern toilet after each flush. The original one lasted barely 2 years. Will find out how long these replacement will last. Delivery from the seller was very quick though.
