Macdee Dual Flush Outlet Valve

Product Information

The top section of the valve is compatible with the now discontinued AFV40100 and AFV40200 models and simply fits into the existing cradles without removing the cistern.

This will be much easier if you have disconnected the push button end of the cable too so you have plenty of slack.Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Toolstation Ltd, acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.

I give this 3 stars because I bought one in October 2019 (as the one that came installed with our bathroom about 5 years previously had broken - plunger mechanism was jamming so water was continually flushing into the bowl) but it has only lasted until August 2021 - with the same problem. When I came to take off the Macdee AFV40100 flush valve (which I thought separated at the top not the bottom, took me a while to figure that out!so I can't get under the cistern to replace any of the "uprights" without breaking away all the tiles Would I have to turn off the water before I turned the "lid" and removed the valve? When you say the big white bit is that the top of the tube closest to me that the blue tube goes in to? I've tried to include as many pictures as possible in the hope all this makes sense and hopefully prevents you from having to pay for a plumber to visit. I simply unclipped the little plastic box from the underside of the flush button, and squirted a generous glug of WD40 into the box through the hole that the flush plunger pokes into.

I have a dual flush button and cable, bottom fill valve in my cistern and it occasionally sticks open allowing the water to continue to drain out the cistern. When I leave in the morning the cistern is at the max fill (6L) marker, however when I get home it's sat at the minimum marker (4. In your first picture there is a big white bit and a big blue bit, you need to replace the big white bit, there is a seal at the bottom which has perished. It is quote new, we moved in around 8 months ago and I would say it's only been done in the last year or so.

At this point all i did was squirt in plenty of WD40 and keep activating the little leaver with a pencil untill the cable is freed by the WD40. The only thing you can really do is take out the water undo the bolts from the inside and see where they fall away from. I will let everyone know how I go on, may be a useful guide for anyone with a similar problem in the future. The wife has even hinted that we might partake in some extra curricular activities tonight, thanks to me saving a plumbers bill.
