INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MILLENNIUM CISTERN
1. Note cistern measurements in the diagrams 1A and 1B, check that the pan is
installed within the dimensions shown, and establish where to hang your cistern.
This cistern includes a flush pipe and two optional flush pipe extensions. The flush
pipe and extensions can be cut to suit your desired wall height and pan fitting.
IMPORTANT: The flush pipe extensions have a narrow end with a
washer to aid in joining pipes together. If cutting is required, the
side without the washer should be discarded.
2. To open the cistern cover, press the top side of the cistern wall with the thumb of
one hand, then lift the side of the cistern cover with the other hand (see diagram
on right).
3. Attach the flush pipe with the longer section in the horizontal position. Place the
pan connector onto the end of the longer section of the flush pipe, and insert into
the back of the pan. If the flush pipe is too long, cut it to the correct size before
inserting it into the pan.
4. Determine the desired height of your cistern, and if the optional flush pipe
extensions will be used for your setup. Note maximum heights for each option.

ISSUE TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS
The inlet valve is on the
wrong side for your mini
tap
The cistern base has holes in both sides. To switch sides, remove the inlet stopper, uninstall the
inlet valve and reinstall both on opposite sides. Ensure that the inlet stopper and inlet valve are
properly secured to prevent leakage of water.
The water level in the
cistern is too high or too
low
The water level can be varied by adjusting the float level on the inlet valve. For small adjustments,
twist the micro float adjustment. For large adjustments, remove the height clip by pressing
downwards, then twist the top part of the valve anti-clockwise to release the height adjusting
teeth. Slide the valve up or down to the correct position, then twist the top part clockwise to lock in.
Ensure the height clip is inserted back into place. See full instructions on page 3 for recommended
standard settings.
Inlet valve fails to access
water
Ensure mini cistern tap and water source are turned on. If water is still not accessible, clean the
white filter located at the bottom of the inlet valve. This filter can be easily removed with pliers.
Rinse thoroughly, then reinsert.
Leakage from the inlet
valve
Replace the rubber washer if required, and tighten the inlet nut. Ensure that the water connector is
in good condition and is adequately tightened.
Leakage from outlet
valve
Ensure that the button prongs are not too long, and that the seating washer is pushing against the
base of the outlet valve. If problem persists, remove valve and rinse thoroughly to clear any debris.
Replace seating washer (see instructions below) and wedge washer if required. Reinstall.
Inadequate draining
when the button is
pressed
The button prongs may be too short. Lengthen the prongs by unscrewing slightly to reduce the
amount of thread in the button and tighten the black nut.
Water released is
insufficient or excessive
Remove the outlet valve by twisting the body until it releases from the base, then adjust the full &
half flush by adjusting the red levers located on the sides of the outlet valve.
To replace the outlet valve seating washer, turn off water, flush toilet, and open the cistern lid. The top part of the outlet valve can
easily be removed without the need to remove the flush pipe. Simply rotate the cylindrical valve in an anti-clockwise direction
until the body is released from the base. Replace the seating washer, then reinstall the outlet valve body, and lock into position
by twisting in a clockwise direction until the valve body is firmly locked into the base.

5. Noting that there is approx. 29cm from the drill holes to the base
of the cistern, use a spirit level to ensure that the bracket is level,
and drill 6-7mm holes, then insert the wall plugs and attach the
mounting bracket using the fixing screws.
6. Your cistern should arrive with the backnut V1 installed, suitable
for a low level connection (with no flush pipe extensions).
7. To convert to a higher level cistern, unscrew, remove and discard
backnut V1, and instead use backnut V2 to fix the outlet valve to
the cistern casing. The flush pipe extensions (with the narrow side
facing downwards) will fit into the end of the flush pipe.
8. Add the connecting nut and cistern sealing washer to either the
top flush pipe extension, or to the flush pipe (if the extensions are
not used), with the sealing washer having the smooth side on the
outside, and the thicker edge at the bottom.
9. Hang the cistern securely onto the mounting rack and push the
flush pipe or flush pipe extension into the base of the outlet valve
within the cistern. If required, the cistern can be levelled by making
minor adjustments to the position of the mounting rack.
10. With the cistern correctly positioned, screw the connecting nut
onto the thread at the base of the cistern and tighten the nut.
11. Use a bucket to flush the water supply lines, connect water supply
and check operation of cistern.
12. Check the water level and if necessary adjust the inlet valve. The
critical line (marked CL) on the inlet valve must always be 3cm
above the overflow tube of the outlet valve.
13. If you are installing a low level cistern, click
the link piece into place flush with the base
of the cistern, then place the toilet seat
temporarily in position, and mark a line on
the link piece, 20mm in from the edge of the
seat. Remove the link, and cut off the excess
if required.
14. Install the seat bolts and bolt fixing plates. The bolt fixing plates
can be faced towards the front or back depending on how the
seat fits on your pan. The sides of the bolt head should rest on the
grooves in the plate.
15. Add plastic washers to the bolts from underneath the pan. Loosely
attach the nuts. If low level, fit the link, and slide the seat over the
bolt fixing plates and the link. If high level, the seat slides over the
bolt fixing plates alone. Ensure correct alignment with the pan,
then tighten the seat bolt nuts and connecting nut.
16. Fit the cistern lid, test push button for operation and check for
leaks.
17. Your cistern should have the inlet and outlet valves pre-installed,
however occasionally some troubleshooting is required to fix
minor issues.
Refer to the valve adjustments on page 3 to change the flush rate.
Refer to page 4 for detailed troubleshooting suggestions.

Your valve should arrive with a default pre-set factory flush setting of 4.5/3L. This can be adjusted to 6/3L or 9/4.5L to better suit
your pan if required. Both the inlet and outlet valves will need to be adjusted.
The first adjustment is to Athe Float Adjustment Height. Use a screwdriver to turn the screw located on the arm of the Inlet Valve.
This will move the float up or down. With your sight line at the level of the float, adjust until the lowest visible Float Adjustment
Height Level is at the desired number (see table for standard recommended settings).
The Outlet Valve body can be easily removed from
the base by rotating the cylindrical valve in an
anti-clockwise direction until the body is released
from the base.
To adjust the Overflow Tube
Height Cpush the Overflow
Height Lock to unlock, then
lift the Overflow Tube to the
correct height. Lock Overflow
Height.
Adjust the Half Flush Dand Full Flush Eby
pushing the markers to their correct settings, as
shown in the table below.
Reinstall the Outlet Valve by placing on base and
rotating clockwise until locked in.
IMPORTANT: Ensure Overflow Height Lock & Outlet
Valve are properly locked before use.

If changing to or from 9/4.5L, the number of
Height Adjusting Teeth Bvisible will need to
be changed. Push down the Height Clip on the
Inlet Valve, rotate body clockwise to unlock, then
pull the body up or down to expose the number of
teeth mentioned in the table below. Rotate body
counterclockwise to lock and insert height clip.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure height is firmly locked
