Hi
I've had a bathroom suite for over a year and just about to install the toilet (don't ask why so long!).
The toilet is made by Heritage and is a regular close coupled W.C.
I initially checked to see that the pottery was not cracked etc and placed everything in the box,
not realising that the fittings supplied where incorrect.
The supplied bottom inlet valve and siphon are French Wincom/Jollyfill.
The bottom inlet valve and siphon did not sit comfortably in the cistern.
So I've brought a Flushmaster and that has solved that problem.
The siphon came without any instructions whatsoever.
The siphon is a regular siphon but the fittings are not the traditional
metal fixing plate along side the doughnut.
TWO QUESTIONS
Q1
Can someone explain how the following fittings should be attached - the cistern has TWO holes for
bolts to go through into the pan.
This is what has been supplied;
1] 2 x long brass bolts with slotted heads
2] 2 x odd looking plastic washers - one side has a raised star pattern, and on the other side is an indent.
3] 2 x thick rubber washers - conical shape on one side - flat on the other.
*** It looks like these rubber washers sit in the indented side of the odd looking plastic washers (2 above).
4] 2 x brass nuts
5] 2 x brass wing nuts
6] 2 x small black rubber washers
7] 4 x white hard plastic washers
8] 2 x metal washers
Q2
Am I right in saying that the siphon should be fitted like this;
The large black thick "ribbed" washer is placed with the ribbed side facing the pan INSIDE the cistern.
The siphon goes through the ribbed washer (flat side to body of siphon)
The large siphon nut screws underneath to hold the siphon in place.
Then the doughnut is pushed onto the threaded siphon outlet OVER the large siphon nut.
The conical shape of the doughnut goes into the pan.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
I would like to get this up and running without any leaks, but I am dubious about the brass bolts supplied,
and if they will have enough pressure to make a good tight seal (I had brought a close coupled fixing kit
but the heavy duty bolts were not long enough).
Regards, Stephen
