Just trying to summarize close coupled toilet installation tips gleaned from sources including this site before I go ahead. Any additional tips and advice, I would be grateful..
1) check all seals and fittings (such as the doughnut between cistern and pan) and the loo porcelian itself for imperfections that might cause leaks
2) The internal workings inside the cistern I am assuming are attached watertight. Check all are fitted tight.
3)use appropriate waste connector to existing waste outlet. Dont silicone this in if possible.
4)silicone or do not silicone the doughnut joint between cistern and pan as you wish/feel lucky
5)no screw holes to attach cistern to wall so silicone or no more nails it in place??? Or just relax and silicone seal the top join with the wall. Pan will be screwed to 2cm sheet wood floor
6) we are going from a so called low level system (cistern mounted on wall) to a close coupled. I will have to go thru the plasterboard wall behind low and lower the inlet water pipe with a compression fiting......great fun
7)will fit isolation valve
8) has internal overflow so dont have to reconnect to old overflow pipe
anything else?
