The flapper came off on our siphon flush, so I bought a new one. I fitted it but it was leaking badly.
When I looked properly, I noticed the inner pipe delivering the water to the toilet from the cistern was not flush with siphon flush. This means the siphon permanently fills up with water as below;
Is that normal? Should the connection not be on the outside of the cistern?
I missed it as it was hidden in a decorative metal feature on the toilet.
There is a gasket and a kind of plastic locking plate specifically to tackle this issue.
