Armitage Shanks Ideal Standard Rubber Doughnut Close Coupling Washer E730067

Don't have an Armitage Shanks toilet but this worked. Gets 5 stars as neither Screwfix, Toolstation, B&Q or Wickes offer one !! Just over four pounds so not cheap maybe but still worth it. Decent quality.

had a right job finding this type of ring as diy stores only had the modern doughnut ring which was way too fat for an older cistern like mine. this worked a charm although it took us a few attempts to position it correctly. no more cistern leaks since fitted correctly!. and saved us a fortune as 2 plumbers recommended new cistern and bowl when all we really needed was this!. an absolute bargain!.

Really good fit & does a good job. Just a tads pricey. Couldn’t find one any cheaper.

The bog doesn't leak now. What's not to like about that?

Does the job of sealing the joint without using plumber's putty. Plumber's putty when used with the right gasket (such as this is) is for the lazy plumber who does not want to be called back. It makes removing the cistern and replacing it a much longer job than it should be. Using this sealing doughnut on a cleaned-up toilet/bracket/cistern assembly without plumber's putty works best for both the short and the long term.

Stopped the leak

This doughnut washer does the job but is not ,judging by packaging, a "genuine" part. Rubber is quite heavy/stiff and will not compress down to the height of old, original washer. This meant cistern sitting approx. 10mm above previous height & if you don’t have a flexible feed [I didn’t} you will have to fit one or re do fixed pipe work.

Chose this as it looked most like the one I was replacing. Did the job, no leaks.
