Leaking pipe feed to toilet cistern
Hello,
Where the cold water pipe feeds our toilet cistern, there is a small
drip of water constantly running down the pipe and causing a wet spot
on the floor. Initially we thought it was just condensation, but after
watching closely, it is infact a small leak where the metal pipe olive
screws onto the plastic fitting on the bottom of the cistern.
I would guess that it's a case of turning off the mains water and
disconnecting the joint. Then re-taping with PTFE and fastening back
up tight. Is this correct?
Also, do I need to drain the cistern before disconnecting the pipe,
and if so, how do I go about that?
Thanks in advance,
Graham
