Hi,
...
Which means, fingers crossed, floor tiling and bog installation real soon
now.


Now, in the "old days" bog pan connectors sometimes came with a sachet of
thick grease.


Is it worth putting anything on the bog spigot like silicone or some
grease,


I used liquid soap on mine,

I've just fitted mine (hideaway cistern) and used a drop of liquid soap -
bloody thing just kept popping off so I had to clean every last drop off
before it would stay put.
I don't trust it one bit now so will need to wedge it on somehow.


Well I don't mean slather it on, just a fingerful around the rubber
gasket.

It's less permanent than grease, as it'll just flush away.

Cheers,

Paul.
