    What ho one and all,

    In my continuing quest to find a way to thread a CAT6 cable from the loft to the office, it may (only may?) be useful to remove the toilet to allow better access to the small area of floor below the pipe.

    Not a big job, just a couple of screws and wiggle it free from the fittings. Of course, I would have ensured the cistern is empty.

    But the toilet has been in place for around 15 years and I am wondering if the various seals should be replaced when re-installing, or are they all OK to reuse? Of particular concern would be the two yellow seals, which I assume are not replaceable. I would give a smear of silicone grease around the seal before reinstalling.

    Your thoughts most gratefully taken on board.

    Thanks

    The yellow ones don't need to be disturbed. The red ones are cheap and should be replaced.

    But best don't disturb any of it unless you really really have to. Leaks behind there are very hard to detect, until the furniture/floor chipboard goes all soggy and swollen. (Shudders at this memory!)

    Thanks and yes, I have found that the red ones are readily available.

    Unfortunately, the yellow ones do need to be removed as the section of floor that I want to cut a hole and hopefully, feed the cable is directly under the grey 90 degree pipe.
