SV01967 Flush Valve Seal and Clip - Multi-Colour

Two toilet cisterns that were quietly overflowing into the toilet bowl for presumably a long time brought in a really hefty water bill. The water loss was barely perceptible but over time made for an expensive lesson. Fixing the leaks using these flush valve seals was easy with decent instructions provided in the pack. And it was a really cheap fix. Being a perfect fit there are no more leaks (and believe me when I say I pay very close attention to this now that I’ve fixed the problem!). I live in a hard water area so I do now periodically check that the seals are free of limescale and in case of any further damage I keep a couple of spares in my tool box. As these are genuine Ideal Standard products, the value is particularly good.

Fixed the constant running water in both my toilets, simple to replace yourself with very little effort too.

Had a slow dribble from the existing seal, and every now and then you would, hear it top up the cistern. After checking out YT, and realising it was a straight forward job, ordered 2 of these. First one was a winch, but second one, didn't want to come apart, but a bit of perseverance and all done. Only slight complaint, it shows one being a white version, and if you buy 2 you get the black type. Still no worries at these prices, i wont worry if i have to change them every other year. Good price and easy to fit, but if you buy the double pack they charge 4 times the price of a single, so just bought 2 singles and saved a bit. Think it’s a bit naughty their pricing.

Purchased to replace the valve seal on an Ideal Standard Pneumatic Dual Flushvalve (SV93467). The old seal was slightly worn and let water run slowly but constantly into the toilet bowl. It’s almost impossible to remove the old clip without breaking it, so it’s good that a new clip is supplied. However, it’s fairly easy to stretch and pull the old rubber seal over the clip - lift at the edge and bend it back. The new seal supplied was easily stretched over the clip and into place. You need to pull it around the edges to make sure it’s seated properly and the rubber disk shoul be as flat as possible. On my first attempt I didn’t ensure it was completely flat and it leaked worse than before. Once rectified, it works perfectly. A very simple, cheap and effective fix for my leaking loo! Wish I’d done it sooner. If you’re not familiar with this flush system, it can be a bit daunting because it’s mostly plastic and you don’t want to break it. My tips: The pneumatic pipes from the push button are pushed onto two round discs on the top. Those discs can be removed easily by twisting anti-clockwise (may be a bit stiff as there’s a rubber disk underneath - it will move slowly). Doing this means the pneumatics are out of the way and you can flush simply by pressing the rubber disc, or the plastic disc underneath if the rubber disc it lifted out. Don’t lose the rubber disc though! The entire flush column is secured by two plastic lugs, one on either side - it’s a bayonet fit (like a light bulb). Carefully twist anti-clockwise and once it’s released the whole unit will lift up and out. Lift it up wards and keep it vertical, as it will contain some water. Tip upside down to remove the water. The rubber seal to be replaced is at the base of the unit. Also worth checking there is no damage to the plastic rim that the seal sits on, and remove any limescale deposits or other debris in the tank while you have the flush unit removed. If you haven’t done it before or DIY doesn’t come naturally, fixing your loo may be a daunting task. Believe me, this is easy and no tools required. It’s easy once you know how!

Once I figured out what part I needed to stop a leak into the bowl and what part to search for, I was happy that the solution was just a few quid! Arrived the next day and fitted no problem. The leak is fixed and without having to call a professional out!

Great price and sorted out the issue right away. This is the second purchase of these I’ve made for different toilets and would recommend. Much cheaper than other sellers and easier to identify what was needed for my toilet with their description! Definitely recommend this company as the seals are good quality, at a good price and quick delivery. Toilet overflow was constantly refilling and leaking into pan so the cycle was endless. Also cistern would not fill up or stay full. Quick and easy replacement of this deal did the job!

Was slightly worried as my old original seal was 6.5cm wide, not 7cm, but this new one works perfectly fine and stops the leaks. Fitted in two loos now.

My toilet was constantly leaking/running water from cistern into bowl, wasting water. It was clear on inspection/rummaging around in the cistern that my flush valve seal was perished/was in pieces. Had no idea what make of toilet/flush valve i had (but in case it helps others, the style can be seen in fotos 1-3). Found this seal on Amazon, very cheap, seemed roughly the right size: thought it was worth a punt. Comes with instructions on how to change the seal. I have zero plumbing experience. Basically, fotos 4, 5 & 6 show the wee lugs that attach the valve shaft to the bottom casing. Grab the shaft (so to speak) and turn it counterclockwise (to the left) to separate the parts. This left me with the bottom casing (foto 7, u can see bigs lumps of rubber from the old, perished seal) and the valve/shaft with what was left of the old seal still attached (foto 8). Remove the seal clip & the seal, give everything a clean and the new seal pops in effortlessly. Turned the water back on and problem completely sorted! Was quoted £300 for a plumber to do this. Cost me £4 to diy! Awesome!
