Hi guys. I hope you are well. Does anyone know what size hole it is for this button connecton? Actually, what I am trying to say is can this be replaced with a fluidmaster?

Thanks
 
Hi Mutley! Nice to see you.

Is there supposed to be a picture with your post? If so I can't see it.


Oh yes, that would help wouldn't it.

I don't ever remember seeing a loo that is originally supplied with a flapper flush so that should be a standard size hole and should take a fluidmaster button.
Even if the hole is too small, the fluidmaster button can be fitted with the shroud on so should go on as you only need the hole to be about 1cm diameter for the button when the shroud is used.

Fluidmaster do a button that is capable of lifting that flapper? Or is the idea to get rid of the flapper valve altogether and fit a Fluidmaster flush valve as well?
 
How about the same kit as installed ?

Hi Shaun. She doesn't like it for some reason

I would say either your going to be lucky or your not depending on if the cistern was originally made for that handle as it’s a small hole
