Yea had a toilet today that was like 10mm bigger od of the flush cone so had to use the existing and some mastic
 
Ah, I remember they advertised it by picking the pan up by the flush pipe.

Sorry Shaun I can’t remember what it’s called either!

Bugging me now!

Three Allen bolts and it expanded like a drain bung.....

I’ll ask at merchants tomorrow, don’t think they sold any so they disappeared.

Expensive, and solving an almost non existent problem - as a lot of these things do... - bit like that fluxinator thing...

Chris Jepp invented it and there is a utube video, I think he trades from Bexleyheath from a plumbing and heating outfit there. Rob Foster aka centralheatking if you do contact him give Chris my regards from API 2006

That is a recurring problem anybody can patent something that does not work or produce something that nobody wants in sufficient volumes to make it viable...Rob Foster aka centralheatking
 
I’m not saying it doesn’t work, I have no idea but I’m sure it does having held one in my hand.
I’m just saying imho it is unnecessary in as much as a flush cone for less than a quid has always worked for me (and nearly everyone else) - the occasional addition of silicone needed on a poorly formed pan but that’s not a real problem.
So why pay eight times that for the same functionality?
 
Because I’ve found a pan with a 10mm bigger dia than a normal flush cone

You can put a normal one in a wiggle it around
 
Our merchants have three sizes of “normal” flush cone. I always found one to fit, I’m guessing it’s not a new installation as pan would come with correct one (usually)
 
If the jepp one will expand that far - this is definitely a time to use it, I’m not against innovation - far from it.
I would say that is £8 well spent for a secure connection.

Correct changing a concealed cistern as the old one was a siamp one

Can you reuse the flushpipe and cone from the old one?

That’s what I’ve done with some mastic didn’t leak / move but it’s showing it’s age the old rubber one so prepping for a return :D

Multi Meter which one for engineers
Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.
