Product Information
Full details
The Foxheath Modern Cistern Lever in Silver is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to replace or upgrade their current bathroom hardware with a reliable, aesthetic solution. Its primary benefit is the seamless, ergonomic flushing action paired with a resilient, modern finish that elevates the look of standard toilets; however, users should verify their specific cistern type's compatibility with side-mounted lever systems before installation to ensure a proper fit.

FAQs
Does this lever fit all toilets?
It is designed for standard side-mounted cistern systems, but you should confirm your cistern's hole diameter and rod compatibility first.
Is the finish prone to rusting?
The lever is constructed from high-quality materials designed to resist corrosion in bathroom environments when maintained properly.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You will typically only need an adjustable wrench and, in some cases, a pair of pliers to secure the internal mounting hardware.
How do I keep the silver finish looking new?
Regularly wipe the handle with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and avoid using abrasive sponges or acidic cleaners.
Can I replace a push-button flush with this lever?
No, this is specifically for toilets that use a lever-based flushing mechanism; converting a button system would require significant plumbing changes.
Troubleshooting
Lever feels loose after installation
Tighten the internal mounting nut, but be careful not to overtighten as this may crack the cistern porcelain.
Flush is not strong enough
Check that the internal chain or rod connected to the flushing valve is not tangled and has the correct amount of slack.
Handle sticks or does not return to position
Ensure the shaft is properly aligned in the cistern hole and that there is no debris preventing movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you have an adjustable wrench to remove the existing mounting nut inside the cistern. Turn off the water supply and drain the cistern before beginning the swap. This lever is designed for standard side-mounted apertures; ensure your existing hole diameter matches the manufacturer's specifications. For care, wipe the lever periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the silver finish and lead to premature wear or dulling.
