Connecting Cistern to Toilet

[wibbit]

Good afternoon all

I've just bought a new toilet, and am looking to get it installed.

I notice that where the cistern connects to the toilet, there is no washer supplied to stop the water leaking when flushed.

On the previous toilet there was an unusual kinda putty/rubber solution that was used to seal the cistern to the toilet.

I've had a quick look online, and found some comments regarding a dark fairly think foam based washer that gets compressed when you screw the cistern down.

For the life of e, I can't seem to find where to buy this from.

Any one got any links?

Cheers

they come in different sizes and are generally called 'doughnut' washers.

try your local plumbers merchant.
