Strange isn`t it how all these DIY videos always show the easy access, easy to get tools to, not very old or brand new fittings.....and guess what, it all just comes off sooooo easy! Good video, but lets have a video with a bast**** of a fitting where you cant get to it and its all sealed and rusted up........real life in other words.

Very helpful and informative... thank you

Great video. With regards to the flush valve outlet size do all flush systems come with different washer sizes or is that something we also have to find desperately?

I have found with the vintage style toilet and modern handle flush, my elderly relatives give it a yank like the old days. This has resulted in the mechanism snapping inside 🤬🤬. I’m looking for a replacement now UK.

Did you buy that rubber seal that had a much better fit separately? My toilet is leaking in that area and I just bought a new rubber seal… I thought that I wasn’t tightening hard enough… what am I doing wrong?

You missed out the removal of an old knackered fibre washer and check for a clean surface for the new fibre washer to seat on

Woao massive thanks for this video!

the trouble with button flushes is if you have long nails they are a nightmare..

Hold tight ! Good job, I will attempt tomorrow. BTW you look younger here !

I 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 hearing when the water fills the cistern; it's a nice enough noise & reassures me it's still working! 😊

Excellent and simple video! Just what I was looking for! Thanks so!!! 😊

Thanks very much, mine is a side entry and would fill to the overflow wasting water when anything else like a tap or washing machine was being used. Installed this today after seeing your video at the weekend and the toilet is back to normal 👍🙂

This is the second one for the basement bat. kzbin.infoUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

Thanks very much

What size grips fit the cistern base nut?

This was surprisingly entertaining

I sometimes respect plumbers to the greatest degree for having to put their faces so close to other people's toilets in order to get the job done...

this is an ad

Why us she wearing dungarees like a local lesbian? Is this a woke advert? They couldn't have made her look any more unattractive if they tried. If sex sells this ain't selling anything! Good product mind.

Who is she?

Who is she?

i notice up near the top there is a short nozzle that looks like a pipe should go on there , mine has this but has a blanking plug in it as does the one in this video but the replacement i purchased has the nozzle but is not blanked off , just wondering what the nozzle is for as can't find any info on it , nozzle can be seen at 4.06 in video

Great vid. TIP ! ALWAYS make sure you have the RIGHT tools to hand plus rags etc (old plastic food tubs come in handy)👀👍I removed the SIPHON unit to allow easier access for install. (Check out vids on this) AND sometimes its worth replacing the siphon unit at the same time! 👀👍Overall the cost (parts) should be about £50 !! WITH the siphon unit replaced OR about £20 - £30 with just the filler unit.

thank you so much. worked a treat!!!!!

Very helpful my problem is the nut holding the pipe in the tank as its got years of pain and stuff, I think I can do it . later now and its done just about 2inches room to work the old valve out and put the new one in, not easy with hands like shovels also I need another hand for the torch. Thanks a bunch and now I`ll have a TOT

I recommend people switch back to a lever flush syphon flush system, since the push button valves leak after a few years and you waste 2-3 flushes a day down the pan. This is due to bits of limescale getting in the flush valves seal causing water waste...

Good explanation. That what we need.

Great

Top explanation! Thank you!

Is this how to upgrade from a ballcok.

Thanks for this easy to follow video. You made it look simple and it was simple. I had to replace this and isolation valve. This video helped towards saving me a starting fee of £170+vat and that's not including parts!

If I don't drop a penny in the pot and piss on it I won't win.

Ba bye

Thanks. This gave me the confidence to swap out my side inlet valve that kept overflowing no matter how i adjusted it. Was very quick and easy even for a DIY-fobe. Got the valve (not same brand as in this vid), adjustable wrench and grips all from screwfix and works great. Cheers mate!

Thank you! This was super helpful.

Hi Great video , how do you know if it's a 15mm or 1/2" that;s needed , thanks for any help , G

I wish the plumbers are this clever. They always want replace the the entire bathroom with new stuff.

"Everything should be just fine", famous last words.

What a gross oversimplification, it's quite a lot more tricky than this fella makes out. Poor video!!

So I replaced mine and it's leaking underneath from the bottom of the cistern. I have the rubber washer the right way around and it seems to be snug enough.

Thanks for this. Very nervous about disconnecting anything water-related but I think it's about time I learned!

Slow it down, just a tad. You are a very experienced Pro. Your audience, who are watching because they haven’t got a clue, are NOT.

Fitted this (fluid master version with brass shank) last month but today found water overflowing drips...seems as if there is some gunk or small stone particles stuck in washer...any idea how to strip this down to replace or clean washer?

Thank you for a informative video.

Excellent demonstration. Well done. Off I go now to finish the job. Queen Bee will be thrilled I’ve solved another head-wrecking problem for her.

Did you use a seal at the final connection

main man brass connection spot on

Do you use PTFE tape at all, sorry for the bone question. Not a plumber

Where do I find a side entry ball valve toilet tank?

3:28 I don't understand why i am getting a leak from the bottom fitting as the rubber washer inside should form a good seal. I notice you had no washer when fitting the bottom nut. Presumably i need to apply some silicon.
