How to Repair a leaky toilet - Part 4

The next stage is to clean the cistern if necessary and fit the new flush mechanism to the cistern.

I decided to fit a “Fominaya – Eco Cyclon”
I chose this model because It allows you to adjust the amount of water used in both the full and partial flushes.It also has different fittings to fit different makes of toilet - it should fit any model.

(Note: I also decided to fit a more modern float mechanism instead of the old ball type – coz they're easier to adjust and I figure that while everything's in pieces I may as well give the toilet a complete overhall.In this case the shut off valve is made by Wirquin. )

Toilet Repair Step 7

Select the correct adapter for your cistern and fit it to the cistern, There are 2 gaskets supplied to seal it so that no water leaks out. (Its not very easy to see in the photo but theres a rubber gasket (washer) on the inside of the red fitting and a plastic disc on the outside to protect the cistern from the tightening Ring.
At this point its worth mentioning that the fitting only needs to be tightened by hand – theres no need to over-tighten it with tools , just do it up as tight as you can by hand.
