First time trying to do DIY plumbing in the toilet. I have 2 toilet flush system in botth bathroom. These are both Part 1 Ballcock systems.
I can id the standard 1/2" ballcock system and can get the parts easily. But for the downstairs toilet, the ballcock system have a bigger body compared to the standard 1/2" system.
I hope by describing the bigger system parts, some one here who is well versed in plumbing can help me. The bigger system has the following:
1) the piston is brass and it takes a 3/4" rubber washer.
2) if the brass piston is place to stand upright, it is the same as a 1p coin size on its end
3) the houising where the piston goes in is bigger in size than a standard 1/2" system
4) the water inlet end of the bigger system can also fit into the water inlet that a 1/2" was connected to.
5) the base of the white jet cone on the bigger system is the same as the 1/2" system. But the bore hole where the water pass through is bigger on the bigger system compared to the 1/2" system
6) on the bigger system, the old brown fiber washer that fits between the base of the white cone and the mains inlet pipe is bigger than that on the 1/2" system. The bigger fiber washer is the size of a 2p coin.
a) Can anyone help and tell me what size is the brass (bigger) ballcock system. Also.
b) do they do a similar outer size white cone but the bore size are different ? Is there a name to differeciate between these two ?
Any clarifications greatly appreciated. Many thanks
