I'm running out the door, so I don't have time to look, but Terry has a comprehensive post on here that defines for which skirted toilet what the...

Actually, DON'T do the chlorine tablets. Chlorine dissolves rubber, which is why most manufacturers say to avoid them. I think Terry was concerned...

Looking at your photo, I don't see any reason why the Korky 528 fill valve (THIS ONE) couldn't also fit in there; it's easier to install. However,...

It's our pleasure to help. And you did a good job giving us exactly the info we needed... Okay, so you have an Aquasource AT-1203 with a 3"...

A shot in the dark: First, take the cover off the tank and make sure that the little hose from the fill valve to the flush valve is mounted above...

Yeah...they have the original Drake in Sanagloss but only in Cotton White, no other colors.

Great post, Jim! I had read the OP to have said that among Totos the salesman hedged about how the 1.28s flushed, but your reading is probably...

THANKS, CHEF!! And I agree that in your photo, the 1G really looks nice! It does appear more compact. It's definitely nice looking! Absolutely...

Let's see... The original Drake isn't going to come in beige with Sanagloss, so scratch that. And you can't get it with ADA height AND Sanagloss....

I'm deleting what I wrote before because I stupidly thought you were talking about turning a Drake II into a 1.6, not turning a Drake II 1G...

That's what's nice about Sears, in that they have an online "Menu" of installation services. Just need regular installation, it costs X. Need a...

There ya go.

What a thoughtful and thorough post by Terry. I looked back at my post and realize I was unclear in discussing the potential splash issue. I was...

Is this designed to stink people into ensuring that they issue a "courtesy flush"? Just having that stuff sit there for the entire experience would...

I'm guessing that Terry has a specific recommendation, but I will chime in with some background. The Drake II uses the Double-Cyclone flush. It...

I disagree. You call them. You order the thing. They send a local plumber to put it in. Presumably, they have long-term relationships with people...

Plumbers in PA seem to be licensed by the local jurisdiction. Philadelphia, for example, requires a license for which one must pass a test. That...

And apparently the first sane one. Let us know how it goes.

The Drake II has universal height and Sanagloss: CST454CEFG The original Drake comes in ADA Height (CST744EL) or Sanagloss (CST744EG).

Yes. Exactly. (One-pieces aren't "coupled", of course.)

Did you try Sears? I recommended them to another poster recently, based on my own excellent experience with them. Short version: I looked online...

Both the Drake II and the Drake II 1G are close-coupled. Here's an example of one that's not close-coupled -- imagine the tank mounted on the wall...

And here's a YouTube video of the Drake II 1G CST454CUFG flushing. The "media" is spoiled guacamole. It seems to flush and rinse pretty well. You...

There's only one brand listed that I would dare trust with a 1.0gpf flush.

FWIW, we have the Geberit in-wall tank system at our beach house with Duravit bowls, whereas I notice that our club installed the Toto tank system...

Interesting article. I guess we should also thank Mr. Ruud, whose company was acquired by the company that makes your Rheem.

I remember reading a post by our moderator HJ, who opined that the major factors in water heater longevity, of which there are several, have almost...

Decent price for a Rheem Warrior DV installed. If you want to share the company name, we'll have it "on file" for next time.

If the merchant doesn't make it right, and you truly believe that you inspected the tank upon arrival and it was fine, I would also contract Toto for...

Just doing a little more research for you, Melissa. Here's another option: http://www.americanwaterheater.com/products/pdf/lpg81.pdf That's a...
