FAQs

Is this a genuine Armitage Shanks part?

Yes, the SV89167 is a genuine replacement part designed for Armitage Shanks cisterns.

Will this work on a toilet not listed in the description?

It is not recommended. This part is specifically engineered for the listed Armitage Shanks models; fitting it to other brands may result in incorrect alignment.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Generally, you only need an adjustable wrench to loosen and tighten the retaining nut.

What is the finish of the lever?

The lever features a silver finish designed to match standard chrome or silver-tone bathroom fittings.

Why does my toilet still run after installing the new lever?

If the toilet continues to run, the issue may be with the internal flush valve seal or the float height rather than the lever itself.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose or rattles

Check that the retaining nut inside the cistern is tightened securely against the ceramic wall.

Flush is weak or incomplete

Adjust the connection point between the lift arm and the flush valve chain to ensure the valve is lifted to the appropriate height.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable construction for long-term use
  • Precise fit for numerous Armitage Shanks cistern models
  • Easy installation process for DIY enthusiasts and professionals
  • Restores original factory flushing functionality

Cons

  • Not compatible with all universal toilet cistern types
  • Requires proper alignment to prevent rattling
  • Replacement only addresses mechanical lever failure, not internal fill/flush valve issues

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first isolate the water supply and drain the cistern. Unscrew the retaining nut on the inside of the cistern while holding the lever in place from the exterior. Carefully remove the old unit, noting the positioning of the lift arm. Insert the new SV89167 lever, ensuring the rubber seal is seated correctly on the outside to prevent leaks. Tighten the nut firmly but avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the ceramic. This unit is compatible with the following series: New Baronet, Marano, Santorini Cube, Concept Cube, High Grove, Elmdale, Richmond, Profile 21, Serenity, Cameo, Tiffany, Sandringham, Montana, Lisbon, Camargue, Principle, and Chiani. For care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the silver finish; a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to maintain its appearance.
