Macdee Dual Flush Outlet Valve

Product Information

I then sprayed a load of WD40 onto the guide rails and the pully mechanism and then pulled on the cable repeatidly to get the WD40 to move around and do its buisness. 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! It may be push in the left side as pictured or pull out the right side - when it comes off, all will become clear, it has a keyhole shape inside it.

Now use a pencil or something and push the little leaver back down, this should flush the toilet and give you an idea how it works.When I said "press the bar on the side", in your case this refers to the blue tab close to the cistern lid, as Ayjay says, easily removable.

I can't imagine the bolt is threaded into the bowl directly though - is there a plastic fitting glued to the base unit perhaps? Further, if this doesnt solve your problem, at the other end of the cable is the actual valve mechanism.This is a direct replacement for the old 208 valve and the original AFV40100/AFV40200 flush valves fitted in the macdee concealed cistern and will fit straight on the existing cradle without having to dismantle the cistern. The unit is a Macdee AFV40100 flush valve - I can't see any markings on the inlet side, so I don't know who the manufacturer of that is - I assume the same. Maybe this bit was overkill but I also disconnected the cable on both ends and cleaned the visible parts - the was some gunk and, after taking the spray diffuser off the WD40 can I forced a whole load of WD40 down inside the cable sheath - again pulling the cable a couple of dozen times to move the WD40 around. Inside you will see its a very, very basic design with what is effectively a bicycle brake cable from the push button unit, pulling on a little pully device which lifts the plunger at the base.

I then used a pencil to poke down the same hole and wiggle the small blue lever until it happily sprung back cleanly again. there are indeed two bolts - but as you'll see on the other photos, there is no access to the other side of them. 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. Isolate the water supply, flush the loo, then remove the cistern top (do you know how to do this, especially if the push button is on the top).The chrome fixture needs to be twisted apart and each side sides either side of the lid and is screwed on. I've looked around t'internet and it would seem the water running would be down to a problem with the flush valve. Derwent Macdee has been at the forefront of modern cistern development, and its comprehensive range is testament to its commitment to exceptional product performance and sustainable use.

turn the valve 1/4 of a turn will dismantle the top of the valve from the base so you can gain access to the seal at the base.Be sure you note disassembly positions so its easy to get back together, bit of oil (3 in 1 is better than WD in my opinion) down this end of cable.

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.
