Viva Close Coupling Kit For Ideal Standard DIY Fit — PP0030/A
The Viva Sanitary PP0030/A is a professional-grade 1.5-inch (38mm) close coupling kit engineered to provide a rock-solid, watertight connection between the toilet cistern and the pan. Specifically configured to suit Ideal Standard style close-coupled WC suites, this kit serves as a direct upgrade or replacement for rusted plate assemblies and decayed rubber seals. Complete with a robust flat bridging plate, steel tie-bolts, and a high-density "Studio" dome doughnut washer, it stops lower cistern leaks and eliminates lateral wobbling.

Key Features
- Ideal Standard Fit: Specially matched to the specific internal depth and bolt alignment of standard UK Ideal Standard cistern profiles.
- Flat Plate Alignment: Securely locks directly over the 1.5" flush valve or syphon tail threads to offer a perfectly horizontal anchoring base.
- Studio Doughnut Seal: High-density elastomeric dome washer compresses evenly under load to form a leak-proof hydraulic barrier during every flush.
- Tool-Free Hardware: Includes long-reach steel bolts combined with durable wing nuts and rubber conical sealing washers for easy installation.
Installation Note
Before beginning the replacement, thoroughly isolate the water supply, drain the cistern completely, and clean any residual rust, limescale, or old sealant away from the porcelain surfaces. Position the flat plate over the outlet threads and secure it with your existing flush mechanism backnut. Always avoid over-tightening the steel wing nuts against the ceramic pan lugs to prevent structural stress cracks.
