It's an Armitage Hushflow washer.

If you have the Holdtite plumbers ball valve washer assortment box, there should be one in there.

The Torbeck diaphram has a white nylon pin in the middle. Are you sure it's not a Torbeck?

Derwent Macdee (now CME Sanitary Systems) did a copy (possibly discontinued). I think their washer also had a pin in the middle.

Hi.

I think it would be better to replace the ballvalve as you had difficuit getting new part for it. I can't see why you can't renew ballvalve on a cistern with side inlet. How do you mean it tiles in....?

There's an assortment here. Is it one of those?

thanks charnwood its not a torbec and its not on that list how ever there is a one on that list the A206 That looks similar by tiled in its a concealed flush box which is covered in 3/4 ply then plaster board and tiled,, access is though a cut out for the button and a very small opening in the box
