    Can I condense into a soil stack?

    Fixing a new close coupled toilet

    Silicon is not good - it doesn't make a good seal if there is any water about. Use LSX on the ceramic face on the inside of the cistern. http://www.fernox.com/files/Fernox/Content/PDF/English/LS-X.pdf

    cutting off a gas supply for maintenance overnight
