How to Stop Schwab Fluidmaster 187.1200 Concealed Cistern from Continuously Flushing
Having problems with your Schwab toilet continuously flushing? This video shows how to make the repair, and covers a few different issues that may arise. In this instance I replace the faulty flush valve (outlet valve), but discuss two other possible causes, namely hard-water deposits on the valve seat and worn valve seal. Although this repair is specific to the Schwab (Fluidmaster) model 187.1200, the principle is the same for any concealed-cistern toilet, although parts and configuration may differ.
Here is a link to the manufacturer’s website, showing the breakdown of parts and part numbers needed to order spares: en.sanitaer-schwab.com/products/spare-parts/spare-parts-for-flushing-cis...

  • @davesuekelseyharley
    @davesuekelseyharley Год назад

    If you strip down the top part of the flush camber it should fix the problem it fixed mine with out buying a new one, pull the top off slowly from the camber then there will be a black guide then pull top flout out then another spacer between the top and bottom flout there should be two round small magnets glued to the bottom of the plastic camber but one of mine was stuck to the bottom flout as the bottom of the flout has two metal discs so the flout can attach to, to keep bottom flout in place to seal ,to keep water from leaking into toilet pan thats why when you pushed the plastic pin in your video it was loose no magnet, when you glue magnet back to the bottom the pin becomes tight i wish I video stripping down the flush camber... you will save your self £30 to £40 pound hope this helps

    Just a note of thanks for this. Struggled for half a day and got nowhere with a constantly running flush. Watch your video and everything clicked into place, literally. Much appreciated.

  • @woodencanoe
    @woodencanoe Год назад

    This was very useful. I dismantled the unit and found that the “click” is due to a pair of magnets fixed on plastic tabs on the base of the main unit. They had become detached and were stuck to the metal plates on the bottom styrene float. I detached them and stuck them back with a dab of superglue and the unit is working perfectly again. I have however order a new unit as I am sure the glue will fail with time but it does appear to be a semi permanent fix.

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      That’s good advice. I knew there were magnets in the new one, but not sure whether my old one had these, as I didn’t bother dismantling it. The right glue will probably last a while, but replacing it might save you headaches down the line.

  • @EmmaGillard-i8i
    @EmmaGillard-i8i Год назад

    Hi! I did all of this, but it seems that there’s something on the left that isn’t working? There are two little feet almost- when I hold them up near the top, the water stops running. When they fall, it starts again. Any idea?

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      It sounds like the fill valve needs adjusting. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that. Probably best to consult a plumber.

  • @msheeraz8761
    @msheeraz8761 Год назад

    I have changed the flush value, the locking mechanism, have totally cleaned the outlet, but still leaking water, is there a washer that goes on top of the outlet hole? The flush value although new, do have a bit of looseness, meaning when I pull the little hook towards me, the leakage stops. Does this mean I need to change the flush valve??

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      I’m sorry, I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. There is no washer on top of the outlet hole, but you do want to check whether there is any scale formation there. That would prevent a good seal.

  • @ChrisShenton
    @ChrisShenton Год назад

    Thanks David. I've got a 2003 model which has a slightly different flush valve and a blue silicon seal. The seal was caked in calcium, but once I flaked it off and scrubbed it clean with vinegar, it sealed well. My unit had a positive "click" sound like your replacement valve does, so I did not have to replace it.

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      Great to hear. I’m glad cleaning the seal worked for you.

    I have a constant trickling on my toilet with this system. I've tried twisting rods in and out but still trickling water. I'll have to try this.

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      There are generally only 2 reasons why you’d have a trickle: 1) The flush valve is allowing water to pass, which is the problem this video addresses; and 2) The float it not calibrated correctly, and doesn’t shut off the water supply. The latter is much less likely, and if it ever worked (ie. it was installed correctly initially), this is unlikely to be the issue. Good luck!

  • @irenechow5754
    @irenechow5754 2 года назад

    Thank you David! I followed your video and changed the whole oval parts, but why the oval parts didn't go down and the sticks also didn't come out automatically as usual after the flush? So I need to pull the stick manually,then the oval parts will go down. What's wrong with this? Do I need to change the other parts? Please advise. Many thanks!

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas Год назад

      It’s possible you didn’t reassemble it the same way as before, or something needs adjusting. Without being there, I can’t really advise, sorry.

  • @ianjohnson8943
    @ianjohnson8943 2 года назад

    Inside the flush valve are two magnets, these can come loose. This results in the valve not snapping shut, and has the same symptoms as your old valve.

    • @davidjvinas
      @davidjvinas 2 года назад

      Thanks, Ian. I suspected as much. It might be possible to disassemble the valve, but I didn’t bother to try. If it happens again, I might give it a go. Mine is still working after all this time.

    • @ianjohnson8943
      @ianjohnson8943 2 месяца назад

      A neighbour had the same problem, in that water keeps running. Would you believe it but one of the magnets had become detached. Hence a lack of snap back. I poured boiling water over the top of the valve and then with a bit of a struggle managed to take the head off, stripped out the inside of the valve.I then reseated the magnet over the plastic post and used a soldering iron to spread out the post top so the magnet was held in place. I reassembled the valve and carried out the installation procedure as in your excellent video. The reason for the use of sealant along the top edge of the cover is to ensure no movement on the front plate, especially when clamping to smooth tiles.

    Hi David Great video. I had the same issue and followed your steps and the flush has started working again. I have the issue of the flush constantly trickling. I had this issue before but pushing the lever gently a few times did stop it however it doesn’t seem to do the trick anymore. Would you be able to shed some light on this? Thanks
