Here you go did two

First on is on max with the siphon on its lowest part (eg not much water left in once flushed)

And the second is max with about an inch left in once flushed

Hope these help
 
Thanks for taking the time to do that Shaun :)
Do you know what size syphons they were, I take it they are both different syphons.

adjustable one only one i use
 
I don't bother measuring them now, just fit a bog standard universal siphon from screwfix! 4 quid & never gone back to one!
 
FYI all, siphons are not measured in overall height but from the inside bottom of the cistern to the crown (spillover level).

No that it really matters nowadays due to the Dudley adjustable anyway! Useless info for y'all!!

Shaun so those pictures are of one adjustable syphon?
So whenever you replace a syphon this adjustable one is the one you always use?
I've searched and looked at so many different syphons/manufacturers recently, do you always buy that same one or are there others sizes they do (or is it one size fits all with the turbo 88)?

Yeah, saw that somewhere. That's one of the reasons I started this thread. Been interesting.
 
Ooops.

Just changed one of these today and fitted a Fluidmaster cistern kit to the cistern with flush lever.

The old one was knackered as the customer had adjusted and fettled with it over the years and finally managed to shear the part of the syphon that the linkage goes onto.

Fluidmaster dual flush kit with the cistern handle flush lever fitted no probs and all operates correctly and the flushes are more efficient than the previous setup.

Cheers,

Andy
Looked at these in plum centre. Look good, just the plastic handle puts me off where you have a metal one originally.
looks like you can replace the handle with a push button one too as long as the flush is not on the side of the cistern.

Yes it's the only one I use they last very well in a commercial environment
