Cistern handle interchangabilty?.

[trialscot]

Hi,
My wife wants a Twyford Caprice CC toilet/cistern, but a cistern handle (and basin/bath taps) from a Heritage Granley suite.
Are cistern handles from different brands interchangeable?.

You will have to have a look in their brochure/internet site for a toilet with a lever flush. Most cisterns now are push button.

I have a new Twyford square range cistern which is a lever flush.

Thanks, they are both "traditional"type cisterns and both have lever handles.
I suppose my simple question is - are toilet handles interchangable?.

 

[HERTS P&D]

Yes, the handles will be interchangeable, you might me better off and change the internal syphon inside the cistern for a flapper valve, (which can use a lever handle)

Simple answer - not always.
Levers from Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks, which to all intents and purposes is the same company are not all interchangeable.

Presumably, you mean "Clarice" as there's no Caprice on the Twyfords website.

Yes, you're right "Clarice".
And yes, I've found that the handles are interchangeable.
Thanks for replies.
