FAQs

What tools do I need to install the LavaTap?

You may need a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and possibly pliers. Ensure you have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure the distance from the toilet outlet to the waste pipe. The LavaTap extends from 260mm to 500mm, so ensure your measurement falls within this range.

Can I use this with any type of toilet?

Yes, it is compatible with close-coupled, back-to-wall, and concealed cistern toilets.

What if the connector is too long?

You can shorten the connector by sliding the sections together, but ensure you maintain a good seal.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure all connections are tight and the rubber seals are properly seated. Check the seals regularly for any signs of damage.

Is this connector durable?

Yes, it's made from durable and strong materials for a reliable seal and long-lasting performance.

Can I return the connector if it doesn't fit?

Check the retailer's return policy. Ensure you measure your setup accurately before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Connector is leaking.

Check all connections to ensure they are properly sealed. Tighten the fittings if necessary. Inspect the rubber seals for damage or wear and replace if needed.

Connector is too short or too long.

Adjust the length of the connector within its specified range (260mm to 500mm). If the required length exceeds this range, a different connector may be needed.

Difficulty fitting the connector.

Ensure the toilet outlet and waste pipe are properly aligned. The flexible design should accommodate minor misalignments. Use the bendable wire lining to navigate around obstructions. Lubricating the rubber seals with water or a plumbing lubricant can help facilitate the connection.
