Hi All
Anyone had experience of these toilets they seem to be in the mainly european button flush type. There is no visbale ball cock and no exit pipe for the overflow. The instructions meantion an internal overflow ?

Any help exps as I am stuck and do not want to fit one of these types when I have onbly do traditional types.

Hope I have made myself clear enough seem to be wallowing under loads of thoughts about it and the grief it will cause if it goes wrong.

Have reread and confused myself any help anyone !

it's not one of these new ball cock is it. The one that looks like and upside down plastic cup? as for the over flow thing there must be some outlet. I know in my toliet that there is a conventional overflow, which just runs out of the house; there is also another overflow which once it fills up and exceed this point it runs down the centre pipe directly to the bowel.

this probably hasn't helped but it's all i've got.

superiorrain cheers for that wiil try and get a better look at the instuctions before buying, but sounds lik a winner. The over flow feeding back into the bowl, but yours is augmented by and external overflow also !

Will try and check out as a flood in a upstairs bathroom is no joke.
