cistern prob

[billozz]

hi all hopefully the pic of my problem has uploaded. when i flush the loo it doesnt shut off, i gguess it must be a washer of some sort, i have taken the large nut off on the left and i can feel something rubber in there, is this what i need to replace?

There is something a bit weird about that lay out can't quite get my head around it.

Anyway the rubber thing under the nut will be a diaphragm washer most are a plain one like this

But as your valve looks a bit odd getting a kit with some of the more obscure ones might be the best bet

Note which way round the old one is when you remove it, there is a small lip around the edge it must face the same way as the old one.

It looks like a WC cistern frame, did you gain access via the flush plate at the front?

It could be your flush valve washer that's faulty or damaged & not the inlet valve.

Yes reading it again, I got a bit side tracked by the nut/washer reference it could well be a fault with the flush unit

Why is a flexible fitting with isolating valve INSIDE a cistern

Because it's a WC frame, with the only access via the flush panel.

Looks like a Dudley Vantage concealed cistern

The problem is with the washer under the nut on the left I think as this is where the water comes in and it won't stop. Are all diaphragm washers the same size?
Thanks for the replies
Bill

Safest way is as above

Ive taken a pic of both halves of the valve I think the diaphragm must have fallen out as I cant find it. Can anyone tell me how the valve works and if possible what type of diaphragm I need
Thanks
Bill

The most common one is the wickes one in my first link, or just take the valve into a plumbers merchant an show it to them they can sort you out in no time
