Geberit 244.820.00.1 Valve with Basin Type 212 for Sigma Mounted Flush Cheese 244820001, Multicoloured

Replaces the earlier version and replaced withoutany problems.Reasonable price

In 2015, we had a Geberit Omega Duofix system installed with our new bathroom. Aesthetically, it looked superb with a wall hung WC using a cistern that was completely hidden behind tiling but I was concerned about access to the cistern in case of future mechanical failures.All worked perfectly until this month when the smaller button for the 3 L flush stopped working. I looked on Youtube and found a number of videos showing how to remove and replace the broken Geberit Flushing Valve.Whilst it would be easier working on a flushing system if you just took the lid off the cistern, the integrated Geberit system does offer reasonably good access to the key components via its side window. I found advice from the French Plumber was particularly useful in describing how to switch off the water supply, remove the filling valve and then extract the old flushing valve. Unsurprisingly, this was covered in limescale. I tried cleaning it and reinstalling but it was clear that the valve needed to be replaced. I ordered a replacement from Amazon and was very impressed when it arrived first thing the following morning.Geberit have produced the 212 Flushing valve as one Flushing Valve to rule them all, for all of their Omega, Delta and Sigma systems. It now features easy adjustment of both long and short flush. It was easier to fit that the original system as it is slightly smaller. I unclipped the lower basket, which reduced the length of the system so it could fit through the aperture. The lower basket clipped into the back of my cistern. I then installed the flushing valve assembly, clipped it to the basket and reassembled the mechanism and push button fascia.Pleased to say that all worked perfectly first time and that my toilet is flushing like it did when it was first installed 9 years ago. It is very reassuring that I will not need to call out a plumber (and a tiler!) when I need to replace the Geberit systems in my two other toilets!

Right bit for replacement

Great item, genuine part from guberit, removed old one( in 2 parts) and put this in. Bit fiddly but worked atreight away, qualty.

Works perfectly
