Hello,
I replaced the downstairs toilet a few months ago and it all went fine, then the wife decided she wanted to (please note the irony of she wanted to,,) replace the tiles a few weeks ago and that she would rather the toilet sit on top,,, bla bla bla,, so out came the toilet and down with the tiles all well and good.
Problem is that now I have re-plumbed the thing I have a really small leak from the water in pipe. I have replaced the fiber washer and have tightened the thing up as much as I dare but still a small drip every five seconds and it is driving me mad.
The water in is copper pipe and metal nut onto a plastic male end into the toilet, is there any hints anyone can give me before I drown myself in the bowl??
