With low level the pan design seems more critical - some are very much better than others. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

With low level the pan design seems more critical - some are very much better than others. As is the connection to the pipe. I have 110mm Pan Connectors. Most seem to be more like 80mm with big fins. |

The only time they need replacing IME is when you need to separate a pan and cistern that has already been installed for some time - then the existing one will be shaped to fit the gap exactly and quite possibly bonded to one or more of the surfaces. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
