Proper plumbers merchant might help.

Yes, I was thinking of going to a few tomorrow, taking the remaining
bolt with me. I just wondered if there was any mail order supplier to
save me the time and petrol. I always though BES were a "proper"
merchant but they didn't have them; OTOH it's not the "proper" part
for the job, is it?

Is PTS a proper merchant? That's the nearest I have, I think.



Whilst I've got the cistern off, is there a fast filling valve? This
has a torbeck at the moment. Very quiet but also very slow. Isn't a
flush 6 litres on a new loo and 9L on an old one? For such a small
volume, why does it take so long to fill?

TIA


There is probably a flow resrictor in the bottom of the inlet.

This is usually left in place when feeding with high mains pressure.

It's like a spiral thing which you can pull out with a pair of pliers.

It may have even got blocked with crud.
