I recently fixed a leaking toilet for a friend (the supply-cistern flexible pipe had loosened) and it's connected to the hot water. This isn't warm-next-to-hot pipe hot - it's a constant supply of 60C water.
My friend says he's not bothered - the toilet's not used much, a guest en suite. It's been that way since it was fitted - about 5 years ago, and the leak is only recent. But I'm not so sure it's a good idea to have hot water around the flush mechanism etc.
Any opinions?
