Hi,
my toilet has been leaking on and off after flushing and I am wanting to either replace the outlet valve or the washer. Could you please advise what outlet valve would suit? The only branding on the cistern is GWAIL which I believe is Caroma.
Hello @JenRuss78
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your leaking outlet valve.
I propose doing a simple leak test to make sure which part has failed inside your toilet cistern. Turn the cistern tap on to full and allow the cistern to fill up with water. If the inlet valve stops and no water overflows, then it is safe to conclude that inlet valve is still in working order. But if water overflows then it means that the inlet valves washer has failed. Next is to turn off the cistern tap and listen for dripping or small flushing sounds, this would indicate that the flushing valves washer (seating washer) has deteriorated and needs to be replaced.
I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Solved: How to fix leaking Caroma cistern? by @Newbie75. It will give you a general idea of how to replace the inlet valve washer. For the seating washer, I suggest looking at this one - Solved: How to fix Caroma Uniset toilet leak? by @Easy1520. This discussion will give you an idea of how to remove the flushing valve - Solved: Installation of dual flush valve in Caroma outlet valve - Page 2 by @Pwsingh.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
