FAQs

What type of flush valve does this button fit?

This push button assembly is specifically designed for Thomas Dudley Niagara Mechanical Flush Valves only.

Can I use this with a different brand of toilet flush valve?

No, this button is manufactured for a specific Thomas Dudley model and will not be compatible with other brands or types of flush valves.

How do I clean the chrome button?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to maintain the chrome finish.

Does this product come with the entire flush valve assembly?

No, this is a replacement push button assembly only. It is designed to work with an existing Thomas Dudley Niagara mechanical flush valve.

How can I tell if I have a Niagara mechanical flush valve?

Look for the 'Thomas Dudley Niagara' branding on the flush valve mechanism inside your toilet cistern. This button is designed to replace the button on that specific mechanism.

What are the benefits of a dual flush button?

Dual flush buttons allow you to choose between a reduced flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste, helping to conserve water.

Is this button difficult to install?

Installation is generally straightforward for DIYers, typically involving unscrewing the old button and screwing on the new one, with minor linkage adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Button is loose or wobbly.

Ensure the button is fully screwed onto the threaded rod. Check that the rod is securely attached to the flush valve mechanism inside the cistern.

Dual flush not working correctly (only full flush or no flush).

Verify that the button rod is correctly connected to the dual flush actuator on the flush valve. Ensure no internal obstructions are preventing the mechanism from operating fully. Check compatibility with the specific Niagara valve model.

Button is difficult to press.

Check for any internal obstructions within the cistern or around the flush valve. Ensure the rod is not bent or misaligned. Clean the area where the button enters the cistern lid.

Flush leaks water into the bowl after flushing.

This issue is typically related to the flush valve seal, not the button itself. Check and clean or replace the flush valve seal as per the flush valve's maintenance instructions.
