Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a water-tight seal for Siamp valves
  • Reduces strain on hardware components
  • Easy to install for standard maintenance
  • Prevents loosening of hardware over time

Cons

  • Specific to Siamp valve models
  • Requires disassembly of the cistern to access
  • Not compatible with universal non-Siamp valves

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first isolate the water supply to the toilet and flush the cistern to drain any remaining water. Remove the valve assembly according to your specific Siamp model instructions. Carefully remove the old washer, clean any debris or mineral buildup from the seating area, and place the new Oracstar 29mm washer into position. Ensure it sits flush before reassembling. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the washer, as this can degrade the material. Regular visual inspections during routine cleaning can identify if the washer has become brittle or deformed over time.
