old type toilet siphon

[John.Stitch]

This toilet is 30 years old,
It has a tube protruding from the cistern into the bowl which I broke and there is the hemispherical piece of rubber with a hole in it that fits over the pipe.

The new siphons seem to be simpler and I seem to recall that these old types are no made anymore, is that so?

Tube from cistern to bowl. 'L' shape, from tail of syphon to rear of pan? Flush pipe. The piece of rubber goes over end of flush pipe and seals it to the pan? Flush cone, (external).

I would think any new syphon tail would accept a flush pipe, and simply purchase a new external flush cone if needed.

Sounds more like a syphonic wc to me.

Be careful changing the syphone part for a standard one- you may find that the bowl doesn;t clear the contents.

Picture would be good here.

If it is what I think it is then this is the part you need

Hope that helps.

That could be the part

The syphon is a Derwent Macdee three part syphon

I think you can replace it with a Dudley Turbo Flush which might be easier to get hold of.

You just need to the other part aswell to make sure the syphon works. It just slides into the outlet of the Turbo Flush

I emailed the manufacturers to see what they say.

A syvac aspirator is the required part.
It is a push fit into the syphon from the underside of the cistern. I pushed to old one out by partially dimantling the siphon and using a hammer shaft to push it out.
The required outside diameter of the aspirator is 42mm on this toilet.

Thanks All
