Product Information

Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'extended' mean for this cistern lever?

The 'extended' design refers to the length of the lever arm and potentially its reach, providing extra leverage and making it easier to operate, especially for cisterns mounted at a higher level or for users needing more reach.

Is this lever suitable for all types of toilet cisterns?

This lever is primarily designed for traditional, top-entry cisterns. While it offers an extended reach, its compatibility depends on the specific dimensions and internal mechanisms of your cistern. It may not fit compact or modern designs.

How do I know if this lever will fit my cistern?

Check the diameter of the hole in your cistern where the lever passes through and compare it to standard sizes. Also, consider the depth of your cistern and ensure the extended lever will reach the flushing mechanism effectively. Refer to product dimensions if available.

What does BS EN 248 mean?

BS EN 248 is a European standard that specifies requirements for the electrodeposition of chromium and chromium oxide onto nickel for decorative and protective purposes. It ensures the quality and durability of the chrome plating.

How long is the guarantee period?

The product description mentions a 'Guarantee,' but specific terms and duration are not detailed here. Please refer to the product packaging or Bristan's official website for precise guarantee information.

Can I replace just the white handle part if it gets damaged?

Typically, cistern lever handles are not sold separately. If the handle is damaged, you would usually need to replace the entire lever assembly.

Troubleshooting

Lever is stiff or difficult to operate

Check that the retaining nut inside the cistern is not overtightened. Ensure the lever arm is correctly positioned and not binding against the cistern body or flush valve.

Lever does not activate the flush properly

Verify that the lever arm is securely connected to the flush valve's lifting chain or rod. Adjust the chain/rod length if necessary to ensure sufficient lift.

Chrome finish is tarnished

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Polish gently with a dry, soft cloth to restore shine.

Water leaks from the cistern after flushing

This is likely an issue with the flush valve seal, not the lever itself. Inspect and replace the flush valve seal if worn or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides extended reach for easier flushing.
  • Durable chrome plating meets BS EN 248 standards.
  • Classic design integrates well with traditional bathrooms.
  • White handle offers a clean aesthetic.
  • Reliable mechanism from a recognized brand.

Cons

  • Chrome finish requires occasional cleaning to maintain shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the toilet cistern is isolated from the water supply.
  2. Remove the old cistern lever by unscrewing the retaining nut from inside the cistern.
  3. Insert the new Bristan lever through the cistern hole from the outside.
  4. Secure the lever from the inside using the provided nut, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening.
  5. Connect the lever arm to the toilet's flushing mechanism.
  6. Restore water supply and test the flush.

Compatibility:

  • This lever is designed for traditional, top-entry cisterns. Compatibility with specific cistern models should be verified based on the mounting hole size and internal mechanism.
  • Ensure the lever's reach is appropriate for your cistern's depth and internal flush valve setup.

Care:

  • Clean the chrome-plated lever and white handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
