rubber washer bath waste

[tomsim]

if the top washer on a bath waste is rubber do you use this and add silicone. Or not use it and use silicone instead?

 

[stardanny]

Do away with the washer and use silicone.

Washer make the flange stick out a bit and leave water around.

[stardanny]

Well, use it if you like, I don't use it on my jobs. Silicone will do the job.

If you want to use the top washer too Tom then fire away, apply a small amount of silicone either side of it prior to fitting.
