About this item:
-Material: Syphon washers are typically made from rubber or silicone because these materials are flexible, durable, and resistant to water and chemicals commonly found in plumbing systems. The flexibility of the material allows the washer to conform tightly to the mating surfaces, ensuring a secure seal.
-Shape and Size: Syphon washers are circular in shape, with a central hole that allows the water to pass through when the toilet is flushed. The outer diameter of the washer is designed to fit snugly within the housing of the syphon unit or against the flush valve, depending on the specific design of the toilet system.
-Function: The main function of a syphon washer is to prevent leaks between the syphon unit and the flush valve or outlet pipe. During flushing, the washer compresses slightly to form a seal, ensuring that water flows only through the intended channels and not around the syphon unit.
Compatibility: While some washers are designed for specific syphon models or brands, universal syphon washers are available and designed to fit a variety of syphon units from different manufacturers. This versatility is useful when replacing parts or repairing toilets with different syphon designs.
-Maintenance and Replacement: Over time, syphon washers can wear out due to constant exposure to water and mechanical stress. Regular inspection and replacement of worn washers are important to maintain the efficiency and reliability of the toilet flushing mechanism.
