ID toilet inlet valve + spares.

WIAWSNB

Hi.

(Hopefully updated)

Struggling to find a name for this generic inlet valve, so haven't been able to find out how it opens for a new washer - or the washer type.

Anyone know if it's prise-off or twist off (and direction)?

I really don't want to replace it all as it's at a yoof club, and I'm concerned about liability should it subsequently leak.

Edit: I found a shaky tiktok which suggests the cap is prise off, and the gubbins underneath then twists?

You could try a toilet syphon search.

I did.

I know that most types of this style undo with a part anti-clock turn, but all I could find of this specific fellow appeared to show the blue cap first pulled off, before then the part-turn.

Anyhoo, heading down there now, so hopefully it'll become clear.

And the answer is, it doesn't matter - you can prise the cap off first, or leave it on - a part-turn anti-clock removed the valve top.

Lots of carp in the washer, but a thorough clean + silicone grease smear did not stop the valve letting by, so a new washer needed.

Of course it ain't standard…

It has a white plastic insert, and is about 30mm dia.

Edit: AI - it might end up killing us all, but at least we'll have working toilets until then. It took three goes, but it finally identified it as a Viva Skylo.
