Any plumbers in the house as his one is pi$$ing me off no end to the point sh*tting in a bucket is on the cards.
I had to remove the closed system toilet to sort out the upstairs bathroom floor.
The flusher had been dodgey for a while so I bought a new flusher and pan connector:
Flomasta KF700-1 Dual-Flush Valve
McAlpine WC-F23R Flexible WC Pan Connector White 97-107mm
I replaced the flusher/bolts/rubber doughnut and added a bit of silicone when installing and the they are 100%leak free and toilet flushes fine.
The bit that's wrecking my head is the pan connector to toilet, the f**ker will not stop slowly leaking.
I'm pretty much sure it's coming from the seal as the wood floor is bone dry from the seal to the back of the toilet.
I've scrubbed the toilet pipe outlet clean so the connector has a good seal and the toilet end of the connector is near level with the outlet pipe so the toilet seal sits perfect not cockeyed.
After a flush it about 5 mins later a ring of water appears around the front of the toilet.
I've tried both old and new pan connectors. I only bought a new one as the rubber can perish.
Question is, why the f*ckin hell is it still leaking with both old and new pan connectors on??.
Once the toilets shoved back that's it you can see f*ck all. I do have a USB to laptop endoscope somewere but before I start faffing setting that up would anyone know why ?.
