A siphon uses the physics of siphoning rather than a simple valve seal to move water from the cistern into the pan. Lifting the lever raises a plastic or rubber diaphragm inside the siphon body, which pushes a slug of water up and over a bend in the siphon tube, starting a siphoning action that then draws the rest of the cistern's contents down through the tube by suction until the water level drops low enough to break the siphon and stop the flush. This is why older cisterns produce that distinctive extended flush sound rather than the quicker valve-open, valve-close action of a modern flush valve.

Two cisterns can sit on near-identical pans and still take completely different spare parts, and the reason comes down to how the cistern connects to the toilet below it. Close-coupled and low-level designs are the two most common configurations found on UK jobs, and confusing the two when ordering electric shower spares supplier is one of the easier mistakes to make on a busy round.

The third check is worth doing before assuming either fault: isolate the water supply to the cistern, remove the fill valve, and inspect the seat and washer directly for scoring, grit or mineral buildup, particularly in hard water areas where limescale narrows the valve opening over months. A valve that looks visibly worn or scaled at the seat is the straightforward fix. A valve that looks clean and undamaged but the noise persists points more strongly toward mains pressure as the underlying cause.

Fixing centres, meaning the distance between the two mounting holes in the pan, is the measurement that actually determines whether a seat will fit at all, and it varies enough between manufacturers that assuming a standard spacing is a common source of returned parts. The two most frequently seen spacings in the UK are around 140mm to 145mm and 160mm to 165mm centre to centre, and a seat bought for the wrong spacing simply will not sit over both holes.
