Bathroom fitting issues

[mutley racers]

Hey fellers, Are all flush pipes the same size? Concealed or standard? I have a duravit concealed cistern where the flush pipe isnt long enough. So would be nice if i could buy just a normal flush pipe and trim to suit?

Also, I went to look at some bath taps the other day, victorian style. Ones with a flexi shower coming out the top. but, when it was just put in tap mode, the washer was leaking and so water was coming out of the shower. I pulled the tap to bits and could not work out how to get the little stopper to come out. I shall show you a picture.

And last but not least, a shower, keeps dripping, but I also could not work out how to take it apart. I think it had been stuck together with Plumbers mait or something as It was all gooey and sticky. No matter how hard I tried pulling, twisting to the left, to the right, it would not come apart. And before you say it...yes i did undo the grub screw. A picture will also be below.

Cheers fellers

If you use 11/4 solvent weld pipe you can make any flush pipe you like

Oh and might be debris in the shower cartridge stopping it from shutting off fully. Id try removing that little white cap at the front to get inside the shower

11/4 inch really? The cistern part seems so much bigger. So, just a long radius bend on 11/4 you say?

I have moved all that from the shower fitting, its the silver body behind it i struggled with getting off

The cistern won't take 1 1/4. More like 2" on gerberit I think lol

Sorry i didnt read your original post closely enough. Im not sure about a duravit but i know it works on conventional cisterns with standard syphons as ive dont it before

that is what I thought. I have had a nightmare installing all this duravit stuff. All the connections are 3/8 rather than 1/2inch. Lots of running around

At least the 3/8 fittings are easy enough to get hold of if you go to the right places. Really not sure how youd go about extending that flush pipe of yours. Have you tried contacting manufacturer to see what they suggest?
