Hi there, This toilet is over 36 years old.  I want to know how to remove the flush mechanism out of the toilet cistern so that I can replace the seating washer right at bottom of the tank as shown on the image "this washer".  I am not able to find the name of this unit, I think it could be Caroma.  Can you please help me.

Thanks and regards, Jovan.

Re: Caroma toilet cestern

Hello @bun2 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your cistern.

 

I'm sorry but I am not familiar with this type of fitting. Generally speaking, the flushing mechanism is attached using a large fixing nut at the bottom on the outside of the cistern. I don't see that present in this cistern assembly. In this particular instance, I suggest engaging the services of a registered plumber as they will be able to take this cistern apart. Once dis-assembled you should be able to find a compatible washer that might fit your flushing mechanism.    

 

However, should the flushing mechanism be too old, I suggest having a look at the Kinetic 17 - 25mm Single Flush Outlet Valve as a possible replacement for the flusher. Please note that your plumber will decide if this particular product will work with your cistern. My only other suggestion is to consider replacing your toilet suite with a new one.

 

I also suggest checking out the stores Toilet Installation Service. It will save you time looking for a professional installer.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
