Close Couple Plate -Ideal Standard

[Nemesis1968]

Hi,
Hope someone can help me out here.

I just laid a new floor in the downstairs toilet, while I was doing this I decided to change the leaking (water constantly trickling into the pan) push cistern outlet valve. I managed to do this successfully apart from a leak now coming from the close couple plate.

I need to replace this now but am unable to find one after numerous searches on the internet.

The toilet make is Ideal Standard:
I need the Close Couple Plate
The sponge close couple washer

Diagram (Fig) 1a http://www.ideal-standard.co.uk/InstallationInstructions/4230 close coupled wc.pdf shows the exact part.

Does anyone know where I could get one of these from, I have tried my local plumb centre etc… but no ones seems to do them?

Any help would be really appreciated as the wife is on my back to finish the job!

Thanks in advance

Don.

PS. The plastic back nut also show in the diagrams is a fair size, is there a special spanner for this?
Thanks.

B&Q, Wickes etc do a universal plate, complete with doughnut washer - any good?
Some syphon units come with their own plastic spanner, but you can get by with some slip joint pliers.

Thanks for your reply.

I have had a look in most and they all stock, as you say, a universal plate however, this is the wrong size for I-S. I have one at home that I bought and its too small. This is proving to be a right royal pain in the b..

Thanks again.
Don.

Have a look at Toolstation part 85615 - internal diameter of washer 55mm?

The sponge looks a lot thicker but will give it a go.

Thanks very much for your help, never even gave toolstation a thought!

Cheers,

Don.

This shop only started listing these on Friday so that will explain why it did not show up before!

Thanks for the fast response to my request
