I have a top fixing toilet seat.
Due to nuts seizing on to threaded posts I had to use a saw to get the old seat off.

I have a new set of fittings - images attached.

To prevent the nuts seizing and to make it easier to remove in future, is it advisable to coat the fittings in something?

If so, what can you suggest I use.

Thanks,
John

Nothing is really going to last the "n" years until the next time you want to change the seat. A smear of silicone grease might help, at least for the first few years. If the new fittings are stainless steel they should last, as would brass. Mild steel will rust in months.

Many thanks for the advice.
Do you think Vaseline would work well?
 
Having put Vaseline over some screws on the top of a fence fully exposed to the elements and seen it last for years, I am surprised at the consensus on this forum that Vaseline would not work as an anti-seize compound.

Hold on, it was the view of one member unless I`ve missed something.
