    Cleaning mineral deposits from Sanigloss

    Hi! Since this post is from Jan 2012, I am not sure if @Terry is referring to toilet bowl cleaners with or without Bleach? I have been using Lysol with Bleach gel toilet bowl cleaner, since 2013, on a non-coated Aquia 2 and it still looks shiny and new. No dulling whatsoever. I installed 2...

    Wall Elbow for Shower

    Terry, that is the plan - to lightly start the shower elbow with the nipple, insert into wall and tighten everything together - I just wanted to get an idea of how deep the nipples would go - so that I grab atleast a few threads per side. Thx!

    Wall Elbow for Shower

    Hello! I have a related question. My plumber came and added the 90 degree drop elbow for this hand shower but did not add the nipple as he was unsure of the final finished wall thickness...and he is currently MIA. The wall is finished and I need to screw in the nipple, but with only a 1/16" to...

    Question on Aquia II install and unusual closet flange

    Thank you! Since I am drilling into porcelain tile, I fear that I might end up with a significant chip and that would prevent my mounting block to be true. Also, porcelain tile is extremely slick and I am hoping that the smooth mounting blocks stay put. I was thinking of putting a 1/8" rubber...
