How to install a Dudley Turbo 88 Syphon

Description

[@tovilman]

at last an easy understandable set up , you have saved me a lot of messing about . SO GRATEFUL, Tony

[@theyellowhoneybee]

Thank you so much. Helped us out how to fit properly

[@meditationman415]

Great video . Why might water keep coming into the cistern and overflowing into the pan despite the 6L level being reached? I did notice the yellow pins were almost out of their holes, but not entirely. I pushed them back in, but still water flowing into the cistern.

Multi-flush - do you make a flush with the correct logic (like my old one) where the short flush you let go of the handle and for a longer flush you hold it down ? It's the style I've got and it's logical - so will be wanting the same again - when the time comes.

I can't concentrate with that amazing upbeat tune!

Is the bottom outlet a standard size for all toilets

[@bhm1712]

Fitted on of these yesterday but it would not flush correctly. Randomly the water would not siphon out of the cistern properly and would take around 2 minutes to drain the cistern, but the next flush would work fine. Checked instructions and verified it was installed correctly and adjusted properly - it was. Also the unit did not come with a back nut or seal even though it was purchased still sealed in its cellophane shrink wrapping. Had to buy another cheap siphon to get the back nut and seal but ultimately ended up having to fit the cheap siphon anyway which worked correctly first time. Wasted £23 and can't get my money back. Humph..

[@nolickspittle4753]

Are all Dudley Turbo flushes dual flush, I seem to have one at home that is and one that isn't? I am looking to buy another and want to make sure I purchase the dual flush.

[@alanroberts6456]

All good but how do i just adjust it to have more water in the cistern ??

[@tovilman]

Thank you again , mine is up and flushing at last

@theyellowhoneybee 4 years ago Thank you so much. Helped me out .

[@Dg-zj6jo]

why is there only one rubber washer in the kit it need 2 one each side of the big nut

[@Tartabirdgames_official]

where do you buy a transparent tank?

[@mikenowacki9729]

You spillover should be 20-32mm above water line, what if the distance from the spillover to water level is greater, will internal overflow still work? THANKS

[@joshuabennett6890]

Yes it will still work to a point. The greater the distance the more force required to start the flush (i.e. start the syphonic action). If it's too far then the flush may not start at all.

[@csatterley]

If you can't get it any lower, perhaps try adjusting your refill mechanism to fill up the tank more before shutting off. The suggested height is to ensure that the flush mechanism has sufficient head to start the Syphon easily.

[@orla556]

Misleading as video starts with height adjustable version, then switches to fixed height version - note yellow plugs

[@nickjung7394]

What is the diameter of the flush pipe?

[@clivehobbs5617]

why does yellow pin change size after being replaced ie double pin showing then single yellow pin then back to double yellow pin

[@millomweb]

The one shown at 0:40 is the fixed height version - so not adjustable.

[@richardevans3253]

Where and how does the syvac unit fit into the syphon?,,

[@JamesBond-hz4of]

+richard evans Hi - it fits within the white downleg part of the syphon however you must use a fixed height syphon with a syvac not the adjustable syphon. They have different bore sizes

[@zigziar]

You have not explained the Cone Ring: all you say is 'Connect fushpipe and tighten capnut'?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@Deppel57]

Wickes sell this as beingable to install without disconnecting the water or cistern clearly that is nonsense

[@SteeeveO]

Think you'll find it says "serviced" without disconnecting water. The cistern must be emptied & isolated for initially fitting the unit - but from that point you can remove the blue part from inside the cistern to replace the plastic diaphragm (the part which ultimately fails) - without even turning the water off.

[@Deppel57]

@@SteeeveO but they last about 20 years -not helpful really.

[@SteeeveO]

@@Deppel57 I replaced one about 8 years ago & it's just started to play up - so it'll be a drain down & cistern off job again. I'd rather move house.....

[@millomweb]

@@SteeeveO You need to buy one made last century.

[@sandrab9088]

Before my plumber arrived (I'm an elderly lady without the confidence to do the job myself} I tied the ballcock up as high as it would go with string around a screwdriver that went across the top of the cistern. I emptied the water with a small container and sponged out the rest. By the time he arrived the cistern was dry and he changed the syphon without even turning off the water at the stopcock. Of course he had to be careful not to knock the screwdriver because the ballvalve would drop and water would start filling up. It saved him quite a bit of time.

[@pobinr]

Why the moronic music rather than useful commentary?. How utterly crass🙄 How do I make internal overflow work? Pull out yellow peg?
