Fluidmaster Flush Valve - convert from handle to button?

[Twofingertyper]

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert an fluidmaster flush valve from a handle to button flush without having to replace the entire thing?

Thanks,

depends what type of flush valve it is, is is a syphon or is it a drop valve? If it's a drop valve then the handle is usually integrated in to the cable that fits the valve. Depending on the model though, it may be a 1/4 turn and pull off and replace with the button version of the same valve.

Before I answer may I ask why you want to this.

Un-clip your old flush valve, clip in new flush valve. remove handle and fit push button in the place of the handle.

Because I have the handle version, but the missus has decided she wants the button version? However, you can buy the button valve, but the connection between handle/button is quite different. As suggested above, it may be that I need to buy a new flush valve.

Does the button fit in the handle hole?
I thought the handle holes were far smaller than the button ones?

The lever handle type would fit.

I'm pretty sure the push buttons fit older cisterns by using shrouds supplied.

Seeing as the original doesn't have a cradle won't it mean changing the whole valve
