Toilet handle question!

[LiamC]

Hello!

Hope someone can help me here.

We have been through about 3 toilet handles in the last year or so. I don't know what the problem is. The chrome rod inside that connects the handle to the inner workings keeps snapping. The actual rod seems to gradually 'twist' before it snaps. Here's a picture of the current one which is about to go:

You can see the chrome rod has already twisted and looks close to breaking. When I first fit the handles, the toilet flushes lovely. Then, gradually, the inner chrome rod begins to twist and the actual handle gets lower and lower.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

never seen that particular problem before, you say it's "chrome" - do u mean chrome coated plastic or brass? A brass one shouldn't bend like that...

Also, as a maintenance plumber who regularly fixes toilets, can I just say your 2 part dudley turbo 88 syphon makes me moist.

Hands off my dudley! She's mine

Yeah, it's just coated plastic. But surely it still shouldn't do this?

you're right it shouldn't, but its a topsy turvy world we live in.

ask in your local plumbers merchant for a solid metal one or have a look on fleabay
