Hi all

I fitted a toilet pan last weekend which sits flush against a stud wall with the cistern and waste the other side of the wall. Since I could get access to the pipework behind I fitted the flush and waste pipes to the toilet pan pushing it and into the fittings behind.

Flushed the toilet a couple of times and all ok. That night I noticed a bead water on the floor at one side of the pan between the pan and floor. Wiped it up and told everyone not to use the toilet. Yesterday same again.

The fittings behind the wall are nine dry so the leak must be behind the toilet which is odd because I had ensure they were sound before moving it into position.

Only thing I can think of is.... When I fitted the waste connector onto the pan I was surprised that the pan section was not glazed meaning it was a little tricky to slide the pan connector on. Wondering if this is the reason and the connector can't create water tight seal on the "rough" surface.

Any ideas?

I had a toilet like that. I ended up up filling the ribbed seal thing
THREE TIMES with silicone, and smearing even more round the edges.

Finally, it stopped dripping

Thanks in advance

Lee.
