Designed for high-quality, smooth operation, this kit offers a sleek chrome-plated finish that enhances bathroom aesthetics while ensuring reliable mechanical performance.

FAQs

Is this kit compatible with all toilets?

It is compatible with most standard cisterns using a 1/2 inch side-entry hole, though you should verify your existing arm length.

Does the kit include the internal connection hardware?

Yes, it includes the chrome handle, the backnut, and the internal plastic arm.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners to protect the plating.

Can I use this for a front-facing flush?

No, this specific model is designed for side-mounted cistern lever applications.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, only an adjustable wrench is needed to tighten the backnut securely.

What is the material of the arm?

The arm is constructed from durable plastic to prevent corrosion within the water-filled cistern.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Check that the backnut inside the cistern is tightened securely against the internal wall.

The toilet does not flush when the lever is pressed

Adjust the length or angle of the plastic arm to ensure it fully engages the syphon mechanism during the downward stroke.

Water leaking from the handle hole

Ensure the washer is correctly positioned between the handle base and the outer cistern wall before tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable chrome-plated finish resists rust and wear
  • Includes both handle and internal arm for a complete fix
  • Easy to install with standard household tools
  • Matches standard 1/2 inch cistern apertures
  • Provides a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire flush system

Cons

  • Plastic arm may need trimming for specific custom cistern depths
  • Does not include internal nuts or washers beyond the primary backnut
  • Finish requires regular cleaning to prevent water spot buildup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first isolate the water supply and drain the cistern. Remove the old handle by unscrewing the backnut from inside the cistern. Insert the new Viva Sanitary lever through the aperture and secure it firmly using the provided backnut. Connect the included plastic arm to your existing syphon mechanism, ensuring there is enough slack to allow for a full, unobstructed flush. To maintain the chrome finish, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface or erode the plating.
