Default what is it called?

from "IAN CAPEL" contains these words:

Its a straight pan connector and it is as simple as taking the pan out
pushing on the connector and replacing the pan as long as the pan oulet and
the soil pipe are level with each other.


You might also need a new cisternpan coupler, they sometimes pack up if
disturbed. Also, have a couple of long brass or stainless screws handy
'cos the ones holding the pan to the floor may be rather corroded,
depending on how good the aim of small boys in your house has been over
the years.

And several large tubes of silicone rubber rather than the bodge that
has been applied with what looks like packing tape.

My experience of toilets is that you have about a 1 in 20 chance of them
NOT leaking. Unless you accept this, and use silicon all over every
joint in those pathetic pushfit couplers.

Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you end up more or else making your
own coupler out of silicone.


The good news is, that like an erect penis, once sorted they generally
stay dry unless you **** with them.
