How To Replace A Dual Flush Toilet Siphon 

Probably the first DIY video that I've been able to watch once and then complete the job. Thank you

Being in the Coronavirus lockdown I've had to work out how to replace my flushing system myself. With a little assistance from a texting friend and watching this video, I think I may have it sorted. Many thanks.

Spot on instructions! I was dreading leaking blue liquid everywhere if I screwed up the repair. Will be attempting tomorrow with added confidence, thank you. 👍

Thanks. Needed this. Never changed a dual flush before today.

Thank you for providing this tutorial, it was really easy to follow and very clearly explained. My first ever plumbing task was achieved thanks to you!

Thanks Dan, I have been waiting for a plumber to come out since March, I found your video and you have made this very easy for me.

Awesome, thank you mate! Never done this before and you literally saved my bacon.

I had to do one of these yesterday. Good video as always Danny boi, gotta love that voice 😂😉

Followed this to the letter, worked a treat. Thanks!

Great video that gave me the confidence to do the job. Thanks! 👍

Great video. I used this and replaced my flush. Thanks for the video.

Nice video, it really helped me with the replacement Thank you bro

Thanks for the video! Just needed it, and the explanation was great.

thanks mate I knew nothing about Replacing A Dual Flush but not any more thanks to you I just fixed mine :-)

tks for your clear explaination and humor way

Clear instructions thank you.. think the button looks better when sat flush on the lid or cistern though 👍🏻

Thank you. This helped me a lot.

wrecked the button and cable on the flusher, couldnt get anyone out due to covid 19. ordered the parts to replace myself and did not have the slightest notion of what i was doin. found this video and bang, job done. great video

you made it look easy. nicely done ging to give it a go

Great vid thanks gave me the confidence to have a go at replacing mine.... and thankfully... The jobs a good en!

Clear and concise.

This video helped me a lot. Did this today with this help and so far all good

Thanks. Great instruction.

I have same valve fitted with black top. Just got replacement with white top are they interchangeable? The white one can be twisted anticlockwise to separate from the bottom pipe. If they fit each other then I could just twist old one out and put new one in its place. I'm not sure if old one can be separated in that way. It would save a bunch of time by not having to remove bowl.

Great video, replacing the part no problem, rubber doughnut another thing altogether

Hi Do It All Dan. I need a little bit of advice please! I've just replaced my flush, bit easier as cistern inside a cupboard. However it turns out that the outlet pipe is a fraction smaller than the flush outlet thread. So water leaks into the bathroom. Is there a quick fix for this like a seal with flange to go inside pipe and under flush in cistern, or do I need to replace the plastic outlet pipe? Thank you so much if you, or anyone else can help!

Very helpful vdo ,Thanks so much well done .

How do you clean the basin to make a good seal ?

no adjustments for the 1/2 and full flush volumes? It might be wroth while cleaning the ring of calcium buildup that typically restricts flow from beneath the top of the bowl - or is that not an issue in the UK?

thank you for the information

Nice one mate

Awesome video mate...wil use Ur video n chg my leaking issue

is there a way to just adjust the middle part that lets the water flow cz mine gets stuck and does fall back into place

thankyou for this video

So which way does the washer face groves to top or bottom ?

Nice work

thank you for this video

Gold, thankyou

Hi Dan another useful video is the toilet you where working on called a close coupled toilet.

Thanx excellent

so weird mine is leaking water internally , not into the bowl or the floor, lol took me a month or two to figure out why there leaking water sound, man waste of water ...... any idea how to remove a baron brand flusher ?

Thanks!

I’ve got an issue with my flush valve where it must be letting water into the bowl as every so often the fill valve is opening and sending more water into the tank. The main guts of the flush valve just twist off so I swapped them with our upstairs toilet one but still no joy. I have recently swapped the fill valve and it seems to be adjusted correctly. Anyone got any ideas what it may be?

😂 I will be sure to be CHEEKY with my cheeks. THANK YOU FOR THIS I'M NOT SURE IF I NEED TO REPLACE YET 🤔

Brill. Reinforced my female independence doing it myself 👍👍

Thanks for your video. Which duel flush siphon and water filler do u prefer to fit for long-lasting and easy servicing?

Thanks.

I need to replace my flush valve seal, but can't find it anywhere. Guess I'll be doing this also.

What else fits a siamp flush valve does anybody know?

I’m not 100% sure but I think the cartridge of that type can just twist out and a new one can go in its place the Fluidmaster Pro can because I’ve changed it just a twist and turn.

Top lad.

Thank you. My cistern in covrered in limescale. Do you think adding limescale remover or vinegar might damage the components or the seals.

The plunger buttons on top of the canister are broken so I can’t flush the toilet to empty the tank. Help!!

Dan this is a very helpful video...but are all the doughnut washers the same size ?

Can someone give me advise , i have a cartridge type twist and replace ,it seems to be a constant trickle to the bowl,do i need to replace this or is their a way of fixing it,any advice grateful received.

Can you change the middle assembly without removing the actual toilet cistern? My wont seal intermittently and i dont really want to remove the whole cistern if its just the centre flush control assembly

Is it the same procedure with the flush button in the cistern lid?

Hey, what's the make and model number of this part. Can't seem to find and order a replacement but have the same exact one. Thanks

Never add the blue blocks in the cistern as they ruin the rubber seal.

Good Job, look easy.. will try :)

Great video. Any tips on removing X2 rusted wall screws inside the cistern ?

Why do you always use a sponge or towel to get the water out, but I've seen other people just unscrew the flush valve to let the water flow into the toilet?

2:36 what is the proper name of this tool you call "Grips" when I searched for that tool in Bunnings (Australia) nothing came thanks

I’ve messed up, I haven’t got wing nuts on mine.. I’ve undone two bolts that hold the cistern to the toilet but they aren’t coming off… the flush down pipe is now loose, I can’t get the cistern off to replace the new flush, the toilet is one with hidden fixings… will I need to cut the bolts off? Or will I have to remove the whole toilet? Heeellpp, I should have bought a replacement flush cartridge but now it’s too late 😢

Floosh?

Thanks

My cistern is the worst designed ever - the inlet valve nut underneath is basically recessed into the bottom of the cistern so a nightmare to get that disconnected to them remove the cistern. Plumbers nightmare.

You don't have to take it out like that. The top half of the flush can be detached while it's still fitted in the cistern and pulled straight out. New flush just clicks back on

What is the average cost for a plumber to do this job

I've only worked on toilets in maybe 10 houses in my life, but it's interesting to me because: 1) I've never seen toilets where they were hard-piped in rather than using flex-hose 2) I've never seen the tank bolted to the wall before. I've only ever worked on toilets in the States, so I'm wondering if this is a Code thing that is required elsewhere.

A better Top Tip for removing the water, I use a Turkey Baster 😉

Such a faff compared to the old fashioned ballcock system

thanks followed this to the letter and probably saved 50 to 100 on a plumber

it's shame all is going to cost the customer is few quid to get close coupling kit to get a peas off mind enjoyed the video.

Don't care how many plumbers I see fitting how many toilets, I cannot see the point of screwing the cistern to the toilet *AND* wall; screwing to the wall seems a hangover from the days when cisterns were attached to the wall.

56

It doesn’t show how to adjust the amount of water flushed, which is why I watched the video, otherwise good!

Dan this seems too much, can you help in person 🤪

ahahah there are plastic clips on the unit..you press them and it pops right out of the toilet.. you pop the new one in place in less than a minute

Why not just get the same replacement and just use the existing fitting?

Dan it's dual, not duel. Change it bro.

Couldn't spend 1.99 on a new doughnut ??

DUAL not duel

Its not a sink its a basin lol

'Make sure the washer on the flush valve goes on the right way' He Said..... But didn't tell us, or show, us which way round little ridges are supposed to face... towards the cistern or towards the valve? which is the right way!! People watch these 'how to' video's to find that out... but you failed to clarify this for the most important seal in the system! Never Assume Anything.

“This one doesn’t need it but the customer is happy to be charged a call out fee plus 20% on parts” Terrible service The customer NEVER knows what’s best when it comes to plumbing. Edit: customer has clearly bought the parts otherwise they’d have bought a donut. I’d have walked from that job hours ago. You’ll be back next week when the issue isn’t resolved and they’ll blame you because you were the last person to touch it. The reason that toilet is knackered is because the customer is putting those damn cleaning blocks in the cistern. Still, if the customer wants to pay relentlessly who am I to say no to easy money.

YET AGAIN, in these times of water conservation YOU DID NOT show the viewer how to adjust the water level valve?!?
