Blimey. Think it will hold ok?

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’m hopping until i figure out where I’ve seen them think it was on Twitter

That’s the fecker

 

[Harvest Fields]

I think it was on here. That description rings a bell

 

[Ben-gee]

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

 

[Ben-gee]

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?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

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

Even the rubber one?

 

[Ben-gee]

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)

 

[Ben-gee]

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.

Yep

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

 

[Ben-gee]

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

 

[Rob Foster]

Yep

Yep ...to...Jepp ?
