Troubleshooting
Valve does not flush
Check that the pneumatic button is correctly connected to the valve mechanism. Ensure there are no blockages in the button or the valve's air tube. Verify cistern water level is adequate.
Incomplete flush or weak flush
Adjust the internal mechanism to increase flush volume. Check for any obstructions within the valve or cistern. Ensure the button is fully pressed.
Cistern not filling or slow to fill
This is likely an issue with the fill valve, not the flush valve. Check the inlet valve and its connections.
Constant dripping or leaking
Ensure the valve seal is seated correctly on the cistern outlet. Check for any debris trapped under the seal. The diaphragm may need cleaning or replacement if worn.
