Default Toilet manufactured incorrectly?

wrote:
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?

Thanks in advance

Lee.

You have not got one of those disinfectant smellies that you drape over
the edge of the bowl have you?

and water dripped from the bottom and discovered that it was water
swirling over the edge caused by the affore mentioned smelly thingo.
