FAQs

What is the primary function of the SV01967 seal?

The SV01967 seal is designed to create a watertight barrier at the base of the flush valve in Ideal Standard concealed cisterns. Its main purpose is to prevent water from continuously leaking from the cistern into the toilet bowl between flushes, ensuring efficient and quiet operation.

Is this seal compatible with all Ideal Standard toilets?

No, this specific seal (SV01967) is designed for certain Ideal Standard Conceala 2 cistern models. It's crucial to check the compatibility list provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section or your cistern's documentation to ensure it's the correct part for your model.

How often should I replace my flush valve seal?

The lifespan of a flush valve seal varies depending on water quality (e.g., hard water can cause faster wear), usage, and environmental factors. Generally, seals can last many years, but if you notice continuous trickling water or poor flushing, it's a good indicator that the seal needs inspection and likely replacement.

Do I need a plumber to install the SV01967 seal?

Replacing the flush valve seal is generally considered a straightforward task for someone with basic DIY skills. The instructions typically involve turning off the water, accessing the cistern, removing the old seal, and fitting the new one. However, if you're uncomfortable with plumbing tasks, hiring a professional is recommended.

What is covered by the manufacturer's guarantee?

The manufacturer's guarantee typically covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It ensures that the genuine Ideal Standard SV01967 seal will perform as intended. For specific terms and conditions, refer to Ideal Standard's official warranty information.

Can I use a non-genuine seal as a replacement?

While generic seals may be available, using the genuine Ideal Standard SV01967 seal is highly recommended. Genuine parts ensure a precise fit, optimal performance, and adherence to manufacturer standards, which can prevent future leaks or performance issues that might arise from ill-fitting generic alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Toilet continuously leaks water into the bowl (ghost flushing).

This is the most common symptom of a worn or damaged flush valve seal. Turn off the water supply, empty the cistern, and inspect the SV01967 seal. Check for visible damage, tears, or mineral buildup preventing a proper seal. Replace the seal if any issues are found, ensuring it is seated flat and correctly.

Weak or incomplete flush.

While often related to the fill valve, a compromised flush valve seal can sometimes contribute to poor flush performance if it's not sealing correctly when the cistern is filling, affecting water pressure. Ensure the seal is clean and properly seated. If the issue persists, inspect other components of the flush valve or fill valve.

Water continues to run after flushing.

This indicates the flush valve seal is not fully closing. This could be due to debris caught under the seal, the seal being dislodged, or the seal being worn out. Turn off the water, access the cistern, clean around the seal, and re-seat it. If the seal is damaged, replace it with a new SV01967.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Installation

Replacing the Ideal Standard SV01967 Dual Flush Valve Seal and Clip is a manageable DIY task for most, though professional assistance can be sought if uncomfortable. Follow these general steps:

  1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the isolation valve for your toilet (usually near the base or behind the cistern) and turn it off. Flush the toilet to empty the cistern.
  2. Access Cistern: Remove the cistern lid. You may need to disconnect the flush button/plate mechanism first.
  3. Locate Flush Valve: Identify the flush valve assembly within the cistern, typically a large central unit.
  4. Remove Old Seal: Depending on your specific flush valve model, the old seal will either be clipped onto the base of the valve or require the valve mechanism to be twisted and lifted slightly to access it. Carefully remove the old seal and clip.
  5. Clean Area: Clean any debris, sediment, or limescale from the seating area where the seal rests.
  6. Install New Seal: Position the new SV01967 seal and clip, ensuring it sits flat and securely on the flush valve's base. Make sure the clip is correctly attached.
  7. Reassemble & Test: Reattach the flush valve mechanism (if removed), replace the cistern lid and flush button/plate. Turn the water supply back on and allow the cistern to refill. Check for leaks around the flush valve and ensure flushing operates correctly.

Compatibility

This seal and clip (SV01967) is specifically designed for use with the following Ideal Standard Conceala 2 cistern models:

  • Ideal Standard Conceala 2 Universal Height Cistern Bottom Inlet 6 Litre Flush
  • Ideal Standard Conceala 2 Cistern Bottom Inlet 6 or 4.5 litre flush
  • Ideal Standard Conceala 2 Cistern Side Inlet 6 litre flush
  • Ideal Standard Conceala 2 Cistern Top Inlet 6 or 4.5 litre flush
  • Ideal Standard Flush and Filling Valves (specific models)

Always verify your existing cistern model against this list to ensure proper fit.

Care & Maintenance

  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners directly on the flush valve seal, as these can degrade the rubber over time.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically, when cleaning the toilet or if you notice any unusual water sounds, visually inspect the seal for signs of wear, cracking, or mineral buildup.
  • Clean Sediment: If hard water is an issue, mineral deposits can build up around the seal. Gently clean with a mild descaling solution or white vinegar when replacing the seal to ensure optimal performance.
