Hi,

replacing my toilet flusher and button but I bought the wrong one from screwfix, I need a 2.5” bottom connection but can’t seem to find them on screwfix, B&Q are shut, is there any other good quality ones about online please for delivery?

Assuming the spigot is the bit that goes through the bottom of the ceramic water tank? The one I have removed measures 2 3/8" the hole in the ceramic is 2.5".
 
Fit a two inch. The washer is over 3 1/4 inch in diameter and the backnuts similar. Should fit ok if centred properly. The one muggles linked to from fluid master should do the job. If the backnuts a bit small ,fit a metal plate (from a close coupler kit) ,used as a washer.
 
Thanks Terry, I have the Pro550UK but its the fitting underneath thats tricky as the nut almost goes down the hole. I will use a metal plate as advised cheers.

Should I be using silicone or not on these parts?

Thanks guys, I fitted a new doughnut washer and metal plate with my PRO5500 unit and so far so good.

Next issue... The water inlet ball valve isolater seems to have developed a leak, see picture, it seems to have a short bit of pipe fitted to the top of it to extend it. I cant solder etc so id there a good solution for a diy'er here please? maybe a flexi fitting with a isolation valve in it?

Thanks

Will do thanks. One more question, when I tighten the top nut on the isolation valve the whole pipe spins, how do I avoid this please?
 
Will the valve come off the plastic pipe ok? can I reuse the plastic end? What connections either end should the valve have please?

Valve will come off, but do you need it to?
Yes you can re-use plastic end, if required.
1/2” top end which connects to fill valve, 15mm compression other end.
