Skylo flush valves with uni button giving plumbers greater flexibility

The new Skylo range of flush valves offer unrivalled flexibility, which gives installers and home owners greater choice and options.

Skylo flush valves with uni button giving plumbers greater flexibility

Each product in the full range of flush valves come complete with 2 cradles, which allows the valve to be fitted in either 11/2″ or 2″ toilet tank openings. It allows flush pipes of both sizes to be inserted into the base of the valve, which is extremely beneficial when working on concealed cistern applications.

All of the valves have dual flush as standard, with a full flush or half flush option, which can be customised even further with the adjustable volume tabs.  This is a way for customers to control the amount of water being used for each flush, and can greatly reduce water consumption over the lifetime of the valve.

The valves come in two main forms, our popular easier to install cable operated option, or our new professionals’ choice mechanical option. The adjustable internal overflow sits in the middle of both types of valve, meaning they fit into the tightest of cisterns.

The cable operated valve,, comes with a quick install-and-release button function. The flexibility of the cable makes it is easy to position the valve and the button, and takes varying cistern heights into consideration. We also have a long cable option (570mm), meaning the button can be positioned outside of the tank, on a wall or surface, which offers our customers the utmost in customisation.

What if I need a lever instead of a push button?



Button Handle
No problem, t
here is also a button and handle option in the cable operated range which allows the customer to install either a button or a handle to flush the toilet.

The mechanically operated valve has an adjustable trestle, which means it can fit a wide range of cistern heights. The benefit of this valve is that the button is fixed into position, meaning the cistern lid does not move unless the button is removed, which helps to secure the cistern lid in place.

UNI-Button
Universal ButtonThe Skylo range of flush valves, uses a brand new concept, the UNI-Button, which means the button supplied can cater for a wide range of cistern lid hole diameters. More and more often, button sizes are varied, but with the new UNI-button 40mm, 50mm and 60mm, hole sizes are no longer a problem and the job can be completed with just one kit, instead of purchasing expensive valves or buttons.
