washers/cisterns
side entry inlet on cistern was slightly leaking. I undid the nut and
could see a broken washer so after googling and studying I bought some fibre washers and screwed it all up and water rushed out of the back of the nut. I redid it lots and once it almost held before gushing out. I tried teflon tape but that was worse more googling and I wonder if I cross threaded the plastic pipe (how would I know visually?) Off I went and bought an isolator and fitted that even cutting the pipe myself! Now I could have my water on. Tomorrow I will have another go. Whats the odds of two fibre washers working? A rubber one? or will I need to buy a new fill valve? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
