FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this flush button?

The primary benefit is its easy DIY fitment and modern matt black aesthetic, allowing for a quick upgrade of your toilet cistern's appearance.

Can I use this button with any type of toilet?

No, this button is specifically designed for ceramic cisterns with a hole diameter between 38-43mm and is not suitable for cable-operated systems.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.

What does 'dual flush' mean?

Dual flush means there are two flush options, typically a smaller flush for liquid waste and a larger flush for solid waste, helping to conserve water.

Is this button difficult to install?

No, it is designed for easy DIY fitment and generally does not require specialized tools.

What if my cistern hole is slightly larger or smaller than 38-43mm?

This button is designed for holes within the 38-43mm range. If your hole is significantly outside this range, it may not provide a secure fit.

Can this button be used to replace a single flush button?

Yes, if your cistern is compatible (ceramic, 38-43mm hole, not cable-operated) and you are looking to upgrade to a dual flush system, this button can be used.

Troubleshooting

Button is difficult to press.

Ensure the push rod is correctly aligned and not obstructed by anything inside the cistern. Check that the button is not overtightened on the cistern lid.

Flush is weak or incomplete.

Adjust the length of the push rod to ensure it is engaging the flush valve correctly. Clean any debris from the flush valve mechanism.

Water continues to trickle after flushing.

This usually indicates an issue with the main flush valve seal within the cistern, not the button itself. Check and clean or replace the flush valve seal.

Button does not operate the flush.

Verify that the push rod is properly attached to the button mechanism and the flush valve. Ensure the system is not cable-operated, as this button is not compatible.
