FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a wrench or pliers to tighten the nuts, a level for alignment, and possibly a screwdriver depending on your toilet's design.

Is this kit suitable for all toilets?

It is designed for close-coupled toilets. Always check compatibility with your specific model before installation.

What if I overtighten the nuts?

Overtightening can damage the cistern or the pan. Tighten the nuts until they are snug and create a watertight seal.

Can I use this kit for a wall-hung toilet?

No, this kit is specifically designed for close-coupled toilets, not wall-hung models.

What materials are the components made from?

The kit is made from high-quality materials including a patent-pending plate, tapered bolts, and robust stainless steel nuts to ensure durability and long-lasting performance.

How do I know if I have a close-coupled toilet?

A close-coupled toilet has the cistern attached directly to the toilet pan, with no gap between them.

Troubleshooting

Water Leaks

Check the nuts for tightness. Ensure the seals are properly positioned. If leaks persist, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring all components are correctly aligned.

Difficult Bolt Alignment

Ensure the pan is level. Use the patent-pending plate to secure bolts. Double-check the cistern and pan are correctly aligned.

Nuts are hard to tighten

Make sure you are using the correct size wrench. Check the thread of the bolts for any damage. Try lubricating the threads with a small amount of plumber's grease.
