FAQs

What is the recommended cistern lid hole size for this valve?

The Siamp Skipper 45 is designed to fit cistern lid holes with a diameter ranging from 40mm to 44mm.

Can this flush valve be used in any type of cistern?

Yes, this valve is engineered for compatibility with both plastic and ceramic cisterns.

How do I adjust the water-saving flush volume?

The small flush volume can be adjusted between 2 litres and 4.5 litres. Refer to the product's detailed installation manual for specific adjustment instructions, as it typically involves settings on the valve mechanism itself.

Is this flush valve WRAS Approved?

Yes, the Siamp Skipper 45 Dual Flush Valve is WRAS Approved, meeting the UK's water regulations.

Do I need to remove the cistern to install this valve?

No, one of the benefits of this valve is that it is suitable for replacement without needing to remove the cistern.

How do I adjust the overflow height?

The overflow pipe is adjustable and can be cut in 5mm increments. It is important to set this correctly to ensure the water level in the cistern is appropriate and to prevent overflow into the toilet bowl.

What does the foam pan seal do?

The foam pan seal helps to create a watertight seal between the flush valve and the toilet pan. It is designed to compensate for any minor irregularities or unevenness on the pan's surface.

Troubleshooting

Cistern not filling to the correct level

Check that the overflow pipe has been cut to the correct height. Adjust by cutting further in 5mm increments if necessary. Ensure the water inlet valve is functioning correctly.

Flush is weak or incomplete

Ensure the flush cable is correctly attached and not obstructed. Verify that the small flush volume is not set too low. Check for any debris within the valve mechanism.

Water constantly leaking into the toilet bowl

Inspect the foam pan seal for damage or debris. Ensure the valve is seated correctly and tightly against the cistern base. Clean the valve seat area within the valve body.

Dual flush buttons are difficult to press

Check that the flush cable is not kinked or binding. Ensure the buttons and their housing are clean and free from obstructions.
