Toilet Syphon

[Funkyboy]

Hi All,
My toilet Syphon stopped flushing I had a look today and it's a Derwent macdee metro. One that you can remove without taking toilet to pieces. The plastic has torn. Tried taping it together for quick fix but not made any difference. Is it a case of just replacing the plastic out do I need a new Syphon part and if so can another make fit onto it or does it need to be same make. Thanks

Get a rubble bag and cut out a new peice of it.

You can buy the diaphragms from plumbers merchants. Usually need a bit of trimming to size. Or as Andy says, make up from suitable plastic sheet.

As above, new piece of plastic, ideally needs to be similar thickness. Use old washer as a Template, and you'll be good to go.

The beauty of Syphon's, very easy to repair!
