FAQs

What size thread does this cistern lever have?

The Viva Sanitary Toilet Handle Kit features a 1/2" BSP thread.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the chrome-plated cistern lever, the plastic arm for connecting to the syphon, and any necessary fixings for installation.

Can this lever be used with a drop valve system?

This kit is designed specifically for use with syphon mechanisms, not drop valve systems.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

Is the plastic arm durable?

The plastic arm is designed for standard operation. While generally durable, it may be less resistant to wear and tear than a metal component over extended periods.

Will this fit any toilet cistern?

It is compatible with cisterns that use a syphon mechanism and have a 1/2" BSP thread fitting. It's recommended to verify your cistern's specifications before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Lever does not engage syphon properly

Check that the plastic arm is correctly connected to both the lever and the syphon. Ensure the arm is not bent or obstructed. Adjust the length or position of the arm if possible.

Water leaks from cistern after installation

Verify that all connections are secure, particularly where the lever passes through the cistern wall. Ensure the rubber seal (if applicable) is correctly seated. Check the syphon itself for any underlying leaks.

Handle feels loose

Tighten the securing nut or component on the inside of the cistern that holds the lever in place. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the cistern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete kit simplifies replacement.
  • Durable chrome-plated finish.
  • Aesthetically versatile for different bathroom designs.
  • Includes essential components like the connection arm.

Cons

  • May require specific syphon types for optimal fit.
  • Plastic arm may be less durable than metal alternatives over time.
  • Styling is specific (E Type) and may not match all fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply to the cistern is turned off.
  2. Remove the old cistern lever and any associated parts.
  3. Insert the new lever through the cistern hole.
  4. Connect the plastic arm to the lever mechanism and then to the syphon.
  5. Secure all fixings.
  6. Turn the water supply back on and test the flush.

Compatibility:

This handle kit features a 1/2" BSP thread, which is a common standard. The included plastic arm is designed to connect to a syphon. Ensure your existing cistern uses a syphon mechanism and that the thread size is compatible.

Care:

To maintain the chrome finish, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
