Installing an Overflow Pipe in Cistern

[Lotstolearn]

Hello,
Having had a bathroom installed recently, for various reasons I do not want to get the plumber back, but, I find that the toilet cistern is not fitted with an overflow pipe. I would like to put one in myself if possible and wondered if you can buy overflow pipe kits? The cistern has a capped outlet at the bottom, and the outside wall just below has the hole drilled through for the overflow pipe where the previous one was. Thanks for any advice.

This will be an enlightenment to you!!!

If the cistern were to have a leaking inlet valve then it will safely flow into the toiler bowl!

Such are the advances in plumbing!

Yes it's "progress" - if the inlet valve leaks, nobody notices, or if they do they don't bother to do anything about it until the toilet bowl has a thickly limescaled river flowing down it.

Or" Rivers of Blood "if Joe 89 installed it

"Rivers of Blood" was not a Status Quo hit! It was the famous speech by Enoc Powell!

Perhaps you meant "Red River Rock" by status Quo ???
