What material is the lever made of?

Troubleshooting

Lever does not flush correctly

Ensure the lever is securely attached to the cistern mechanism and the connecting rod is properly aligned. Check if the 3/8" spindle is fully engaged.

Water continues to run after flushing

This issue is typically related to the flush valve or inlet valve, not the cistern lever itself. Consult your toilet's main repair guide for these components.

Lever feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions or misalignments in the cistern mechanism. Ensure the securing nut is not overtightened, which can restrict movement.

Chrome finish appears dull or stained

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
