No, you can't.
Is that a reflection on the OP? ;)
I replaced a normal syphon with one of those, but the button looks a bit ugly mounted on the outside face of the cistern and I'm not brave (or stupid ;) ) enough to try to enlarge the hole :)

dump valve started leaking and needed replacing recently. An American I know says they never last much more than that (they don't use syphons over there
-- he was interested in importing one).
The message from "NikV" contains these words:
Yes. I have. I had to open out the hole in the plastic cistern because I didn't want it to stick out using their "fits any size" contraption.
The message from contains these words:
Mine's been in nearly five years and doesn't leak - yet!
Hi Thanks for those that replied (well most :-)) anyway - got a similar kit from homebase took about half an hour to fit (never dismantled a close coupled wc before) now the kids can flush the loo
