Thanks. But wouldn’t that give the “off, hot, cool” sequence mentioned above?

I have a Mira 415 built-in shower mixer valve, on a combi boiler system. The shower's been working fine apart from a persistent drip from the head, so I've stripped down the valve and cleaned everything, and replaced the o-rings either side of the cartridge. After reassembly the drip has...

Ah thanks Rob, IDing the existing connector is very reassuring! As far as I can see from looking online, the new toilet's outlet looks to be almost at ground level. Is the idea of that McAlpine connector that the finned, male part will just disappear into the ground, inside the soil pipe, as...
