Hi,

Looking at replacing a toilet pan, the old screws are rusted solid, could anyone recommend a particular type of screw to replace please , it will be fitting into floor board (s).

Regards
 
Used to use brass screws, but these come with slotted heads. Now use stainless steel.
Essential to screw into properly sized pilot holes otherwise heads will shear. Always wrap shank in PTFE tape or similar to cushion against ceramics. Supplement with silicone bedding.
 
Concrete floor or wooden floor ?

What is correct toilet supply line
Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.
