Siamp not flushing

[fingersuk]

Hi,

I took the lid of the cistern and had to screw the button off. It's a siamp storm 33a single flush, I can manual flush the toilet by lift it up but when pushing the plastic that the button was attached to it jams. I cant see how it's connected to push the unit that im doing manually.... Is there an easy fix for it or do I need a new flush valve?

Thanks,
Chris

It can be fixed, but it's very easy to fit a new one, albeit they are expensive. Push down on the valve and twist and it will come off. Do the same to fit a new one.

Siamps are usually bundled with takeaway budget bathrooms.

Here's a useful link on the Siamp website that will help you. It has plenty of free downloadable troubleshooting guides.

Change it to a Dudley Niagara and it will be more reliable

No! Awful idea. I hate these fiddly pieces of junk lol.

Get a cable operated multikwik/fluidmaster valve IMO

The Siamp Optima 50 Flush Valve is basically used in a lot of B&Q and Twyford toilets. You should twist and pull the valve out. So in this way you do not need to take the cistern of the toilet taht means this should be a few minute job. If you want to fit the valve in to a concealed cistern you will need to purchase the cable from online store or any local plumbing stores.

Have a look at Siamp Float Valve,Toilet Spares,spare parts cistern,Toilet spare parts,Toilet parts,Siamp diaphragm,pacific flush valve under siamp will,be able to id from the photos.

Fairly simple to do as others have side, twist and pull out. Personally would replace the whole unit for a fluidmaster flush mech also recommend changing the fill valve as well as the siamp ones are rubbish, either a fluidmaster pro or dudley hydroflo
