Problem With Pan Connector Not Staying On

[Dazman]

Hi

I'm wondering if you could offer some advice on problem I have with a flexible pan connector.

No mater what I do it doesn't want to stay attached to the toilet - it keeps on popping off.

At first I though it was the B&Q connector so I got another from the Plumb Centre but I've got the same problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Darren

Did you use too much lubricant ?.

If so try cleaning off the lubricant with a towel and see if it helps.

Only used a tiny drop of washing up liquid - would that make that much difference?

washing up liquid can be a nightmare with these.
they useally slip on the toilet spigot without any lube.

washing up liquid does make it a bit slipery...

I allways put them on the toilet first, and then in the hole. This enables you to turn them as you push, and I find they just pop on. Also if it is a flexi, it could be pulling too much.....

Hope this helps...

Agreed, flexi's are often a nightmare, you're much better off using rigid connectors. And don't lube on the pan spigot end
