Geberit Replacement Dual Flush Cistern Valve Main Body Only Twico-1 240.280.00.1

Excellent product! Direct inlet valve replacement and perfect fit. Resolved the constant loss of water from the toilet cistern and constant dripping of water into the toilet bowl. Easy to fit with the two clips/lugs.

Really surprised to find this on Amazon as it is a direct, same manufacturer, replacement for the flush valve that has finally gone on our 20 year old Vernon Tutbury cistern. If you are happy with a bit of DIY it is really easy to do. You need no plumber and I didn't even bother to turn off the water though that is probably recommended for peace of mind. Mine came with no instructions but there are YouTube videos that show how to install it if you look.

My old flush valve had started intermittently allowing water to trickle continuously after flushing, so I needed to fix it. I ordered just this middle section of the valve, as I thought the problem must be with this part and it would save having to pull the cistern apart. This unit just unclips from the base and the replacement clips in, though you have to keep the old bridge and buttons from the top. It did the trick for me and now works fine. My only gripe - and hence only 4 stars - is that I would have been stuck for how to set up the unit if I hadn't kept the original instructions, though perhaps it's not unreasonable for a part valve not to have instructions with it.

Works well and much cheaper than buying the full replacement which includes the u-shaped arm which connects to the push buttons.If you are trying to work out how to access the cistern and you have the crescent shaped buttons1) Ideally turn off the water - don't worry of you can't - you'll just have water running all the time when doing the work - and it will go down the toilet.2) Make a note of which way round the buttons are - ie is small flush to the left or the right3) Push and hold down the main flush button and you will see a notch in the small flush - grip this and pull up - then remove the main flush button4) Undo the plastic screw with a large flat blade screw driver - be careful the plastic is soft5) Lift up the cistern lid.6) make a note of which side the greeny-blue coloured tab on top of the valve is7) Reach down and squeeze the two tabs holding the Geberit replacement Dual Flush Cistern Valve to the bottom of the cistern - you might need to push down a bit to release.8) Set the greeny-blue cup shaped part to the same as on the old valve.9) Count the number of free holes and then remove the u-shaped plastic extension piece from the old and put on the new.10) Gently push the new valve into place11) replace the cistern lid12) check the u-shaped extension piece is near to but not touching the underside of the cistern lid13) Adjust U-shaped extension piece as necessary14) reattach plastic screw and reassemble button.15) turn water back on

I am not particularly enamoured with this kind of flush which, prone to leaking, seams so much less satisfactory than the good old fashioned syphon systems which could last decades without leaking. But this is a review of the product being sold and it was quick and easy to fit and seems for now to have solved the leak the one previously installed had developed. But it has the same flaws as the original which will probably lead it to leak at some point in the future

Fast delivery - important when the toilet isn't working! Perfect replacement fit. Very happy with product and service.

Love this item . My toilet was starting to leak and I was worried about having a plumber around. Sent away for this learnt to press the sides on the old one removed it and replaced it. So simple very easy to do.good quality and took a few minutes.
