FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a wrench or pliers to tighten the bolts. A screwdriver might be useful for other aspects of the toilet.

Is this kit suitable for all toilet types?

This kit is designed to be universal and fit most standard 2" cisterns. However, it's always best to check your toilet's specifications for compatibility before purchasing.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the doughnut washer is properly seated and the bolts are tightened evenly, but not over-tightened. Also, make sure all surfaces are clean before installation.

Can I reuse the existing bolts?

The kit includes new M8 bolts for a secure connection. It's recommended to use the new bolts provided for optimal performance.

What should I do if the bolts are too long?

If the bolts are too long, use washers to take up the extra space, or seek advice from a plumber.

How often should I check the connection?

It is advisable to check the connection for leaks every six months or whenever you notice any water around the toilet base.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection point.

Check the bolts for tightness. Ensure the doughnut washer is properly seated and not damaged. Replace the washer if necessary. Tighten the bolts evenly, but do not overtighten.

Difficulty in aligning the cistern and pan.

Ensure all components are correctly positioned. Loosen the bolts, realign the cistern and pan, and then retighten the bolts.

Bolts are too short.

Check the thickness of the cistern and pan. If the bolts are too short, you may need longer bolts. Contact a plumbing specialist for assistance.
