If that's the bowl AND tank, you got a good deal; that's about $100 less than the Home Depot price and the online prices. Just goes to show that...

Take a look at Terry's toilet reviews: http://terrylove.com/crtoilet.htm What Terry considers to be Toto's best gravity toilet is the Soiree...

Sorry, Terry. I forgot about the Maxwell. I thought there was another but convinced myself that it must have been the discontinued Rexmont. Mr...

PS I think what you probably have is a Kohler Wellesley Toilet. Long discontinued (1994). Here's the spec sheet, though: ...

Well, there's an American Standard Glenwall, which has a bolt pattern that is 9" wide and 7.5" top to bottom. Are you sure that's not the pattern on...

The Toto site is fine, but if you can get the 528T from Amazon for less than the TSU99A.X that Toto is going to sell you (which is a Korky 528MP with...

Just FYI, you can probably get away with the standard 12" Unifit on the Vespin II if you have 11.5 to the finished wall, even if you only have 11 to...

No easy way to test the toilet other than visual inspection. I think you are better off assuming that everything is and will be fine, and if you're...

Round and ADA Height, as Terry Says. 26.125" long plus about 3/4" between toilet and wall. CST423EF without Sanagloss or CST423EFG with Sanagloss...

What an improvement! Nice job!

The Toto Aquia with dual flush and buttons on top is reliable. Some of the warehouse-club brands with pushbuttons don't leak, but there are...

I concur with Jim about the chain length. I actually have a toilet in the City where if you put the lid on, it pushes the handle down a bit such...

Relatively-easy to fix. Here are the Dartmouth installation instructions:...

Okay, let's help you a little here. First of all, no need to get a new toilet. Total overreaction, but understandable in that we don't like it...

Here's the spec sheet on the Drake II: http://www.totousa.com/Portals/0/ProductDownloads/SS-00239_CST454CEF_G.pdf How far from the wall is the...

You can also get out the yellow pages, look up plumbing supply, and call around to see who carries Toto in your area. Prices will (like that silly...

Getting the toilet from Lowe's means that you have traded convenience for quality and performance. $269? That would have more than bought you a Toto...

Probably seems obvious, but just take a tape measure and mark the spot so the almost-end of each slot is the same distance from the wall on each...

You can stack the spacers. And we're not wedded to the Sioux Chief; it's just one that Terry has used. Just get a decent quality one. They...

no problem using the spacer under the flange. It is the over the flange ones that raise a concern .In another thread, Terry has indicated that he...

If you don't want to wait for AS to get you the replacement for the flush tower, which they call the "accelerator" flush valve, you do have the...

The blue part is indeed the fill valve. Start here:...

Shame to have to go with the Kohler just because of the supply location. Maybe you could put a 90 or a Dahl Skirted Toilet Installation Kit on...

I used very fine sandpaper -- you're only trying to clean the area up a tad. (Terry can correct me if I did it wrong.) If you get the plastic...

Actually, most of the skirted Totos will work on less than the 8" in the Spec Sheet. There are a few exceptions, though, but Terry recently posted...

Okay, well... "close coupled" in a 2-piece toilet only means that the tank sits on and is connected to the bowl. In the old days, they used to mount...

Happy to help! And its always fun for us when you let us know how you make out. Goes in the knowledge base, and makes us feel good.

I myself have two Drakes that I bought within days of each other. One came with the not-notched Korky-valve tank, and the other had a notched tank...

Well, if Steve's review was from an email to Terry, I don't know if he will see it on here, but if he does... Steve, we can probably help you get...
