As requested, a new thread
I am about to embark on replacing the siphon on a crappy old Fordham Flush Panel (Plumbase say they can order one in for me).
I've already taken out the old one to have a look at it as I was going to replace the diaphragm but the assembly can't be taken apart easily, hence I'm going to get the whole siphon.
On the old siphon there seems to be a ring of sealant where the siphon base joins the down pipe. This is on the inside of the cistern, so it is immersed in the water. So, what is this sealant, should I use it on the new siphon, and what is the exact correct way to apply it?
TIA
