Hi all,
Got very close to fitting my first toilet at the weekend, but could do with getting a couple of questions answered to get me over the finish line!
1. Is it OK to have the first couple of feet or so of your soil pipe travelling slightly uphill? In my previous toilet, the flow from the back of the toilet to the soil pipe looked pretty flat, but my new toilet's connection is very slightly lower, so the first part has to travel slightly uphill (it's only about 2cms lower). Is this OK, if the connections are watertight?
2. When connecting my cistern to the pan, the toilet came with two dome shaped plastic connections, that you pushed into the bottom of the cistern and screwed in place. I did it as tightly as I could, but there is still a slight leak from the bottom of those when the cistern is more than about half full. Is there something like silicone that I can put on that connection to make it watertight?
Any help for a novice would be much appreciated!
