Details

This Close Coupling Kit provides the necessary hardware to create a secure, watertight joint between a toilet cistern and pan. Specifically, the kit is designed for toilets with a 1.5-inch (approx. 38mm) flush outlet, featuring a thick rubber doughnut washer that compresses to seal the gap. We also include a sturdy metal bridging plate and a pair of steel fixing bolts with washers and wing nuts. For example, by replacing the entire assembly, you ensure that the pressure remains even across the seal, which is critical for preventing drips during the flush cycle. Consequently, this kit is an ideal solution for refurbishing older toilets that utilize the traditional 1.5″ syphon or flush valve size.

A leak between the cistern and the pan is a common plumbing headache, often caused by a perished washer or a snapped fixing bolt. Furthermore, once the metal plate begins to bend or fail, it can no longer provide the structural support needed to keep the cistern level, leading to wobbling and eventually a failed seal. As a result, many homeowners mistakenly purchase larger 2″ kits that fail to sit correctly on a 1.5″ outlet, leading to persistent drips. However, this Dedicated 1.5″ Close Coupling Kit solves these sealing and stability issues effectively. Because it provides the correctly sized washer, plate, and steel bolts in one package, you can eliminate multiple points of failure in one go. Consequently, this creates a rigid, leak-proof union that restores the integrity of your toilet and protects your flooring from water damage.
