FAQs
Does this lever come with the internal siphon?
No, this is a replacement lever arm and handle assembly only.
What is the thread size of this lever?
The lever features a standard 3/8 inch thread.
Is this product suitable for all toilets?
It is designed for standard cisterns; however, you must ensure your cistern hole and internal linkage are compatible with a 3/8 inch thread and a 305mm spindle.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid bleach and abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratching the finish.
Is the spindle length adjustable?
The spindle is provided at 305mm; please verify your cistern depth before purchase to ensure this length is appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Lever feels loose or wobbly
Check the mounting nut inside the cistern and tighten it carefully until the lever remains fixed in place.
Flush is not activating the valve
Ensure the internal spindle is correctly attached to the cistern's flushing linkage or siphon.
Lever sticks after use
Verify that the lever is not rubbing against the edge of the cistern hole and ensure the linkage inside is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first turn off the water supply and drain the cistern. Remove the old lever assembly and insert the Thomas Dudley spindle through the front-facing hole of the cistern. Secure the lever using the included 3/8 inch mounting nut, ensuring it is tight enough to prevent rotation but not so tight that it cracks the ceramic. For maintenance, clean the chrome surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that could scratch or degrade the metallic finish. Periodically check that the retaining nut remains tight to ensure the lever remains aligned.
