FAQs

How do I adjust the flush volume?

The Fluidmaster Compact Syphon allows you to adjust the flush volume. Refer to the installation manual for specific instructions on adjusting the full and partial flush volumes.

Is this compatible with my toilet?

The syphon is designed to fit most 1 1/2" lever-operated cisterns. Check your toilet's specifications or measure the existing valve to ensure compatibility.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will typically need a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and possibly pliers. The installation manual provides a detailed list.
