hi all,
i couldnt find exactly my issue, as i dont know what this design called.
im fitting a new flushing and filling mechanism. the filler element is the problem, as the pipe that connects to the cistern tap (the quick shut off one) is flattened?!
so its a half the thread, and the sides of the pipe are flat, hence water forces itself through the tiny spaces after everything is tightly screwed up. ive put in hard washers, soft ones, ptfe tape, nothing seals this.
im gonna attach a drawing quick. its only about the flattened sides of the pipe, no stress about the cistern or tap parts, they work fine.
is this a known design, or manufacturing issue? the unit cost a pretty penny. they say do not use putty. i would imagine the oil will disintegrate the plastic over some time.
