Or be a type that screws onto the syphon.
I thought he was getting a bomb that matched his new syphon. Think any old bomb would have done as long as it was not too long or short & obviously fits the syphon.

The bomb needs to be suitable for the bowl.

Did you see the photo i put up best?

The rubber is same size as my old one.

I Take it the open bit on top/side of bomb should be slid inside of siphon?

so it should just slide up easy'ly?

also are bottoms of siphons not standard size? as if there any bigger? yes bomb will fit up it but then wont it be to big to go through bottom of bowl?
 
the spike bit of the siphon should go in the hole of the bowl and yes if the bombs internal it should slide in and looks like the dudley ones that take bombs must be a tad bigger internally.

does say on the page i bought it that they fit dudley turbo siphon i was just gambling at them all being standard side so guess thats my next move.
grr what a pain in the butt
 
Also, if there are others following this thread, the Dudley bombs don't fit in the adjustable Turbo syphons, only the set height versions. Don't ask me why, spent ages and snapped 2 trying to get it to fit before someone told me!!

So does it fit any every other kind of dudley siphons or a certain one?
ie - turbo 88 ect?
 
one last question for advive when they say size as in 7" 8" or 9" does it matter which one i get? if i can find one local tomorrow i will be getting one and hopfully put a end to this hell or please just flush me away!
 
measure the size of the old one and buy a fixed version of that ie 8 inch, 9inch. you need to get the right size as well because siphonic bogs need a determined amount of water and flush to work.. hope that helps..

Three if just one person googles info and comes across this thread and does not have go through what i have to solve this then ill be happy
Four lastly ied like to thank you for your very value'd helpfull input to this thread! 🙂
 
Have a giggle marc, look at it from our point of view, it is funny 🙂
you're getting more help here than you will anywhere else!

just means we will gently prod fun at you.

keep at it, most people would have ripped it out and thrown the toilet at the neighbors cat by now!
 
It just seems nasty when some things are said in print! Always hard to judge the tone of a printed comment! :smile: He is correct though, - easy job to a plumber.
Everyone has been helpful & sympathetic I think.
Get a syphon of correct height & take any old parts with you & the new bomb to compare.
 
I still stand by mine and Kevs opinion from a few days ago.
Rip the bleeder out and stick a £50 B+Poo special in there. The one I fitted from B+Poo on Monday actually had fluidmaster flush and fill valves in it, I was most impressed 😉

Nothing to beat a siphonic toilet, though! Ordinary loos are just so common! :smile:
I like that the bowl base is so high & the pan has large base & the works are so simple & reliable & easily repairable. My own is almost 40 year old (Armitage) & only has had a new washer on the bomb & the pan - cistern domed washer renewed very recently by myself.

Yup post 2 of this thread. If you followed the suggestion you would be sitting on a new throne having a whale of a time flushing turds down the old sewage highway instead of digging holes in the garden and burying your business like a terrier...😀
 
One advantage of this is you will have successfully completed your plumbing practical by the time you get the loo working properly!
