At that time I assumed the T+P, as the expansion was well below pressure...

    Hi, Is there any advantage / disadvantage of a bottom inlet over a side inlet on a concealed cistern? Looking at a Grohe Adagio model if that makes any difference which will be housed in a 600x300 cabinet. Also is a dual flush option of any real use? Does anybody ever really use the 3L option...
