hello,
I’m currently attempting (with very little knowledge) to renovate an old
JAPKAP toilet cistern.
I’ve so far fixed the wooden box, the lead is fine and flush arm is being re-cast.
However I’m really unsure of how to repair the flush pipe (I think that’s what it’s called) as it was sheered off.
Some have suggested that the copper
Pipe is just soldered in and can be removed and replaced with 35mm replacement, however through a bit of reading I’m wondering if this is actually a solid part of the syphon itself. If so, is there a way of joining to the broken part.
I’ve attached some pics for hopefully some advice and ideas of how to repair this section.
Thanks again,
Clare
