I know, replacing the whole flange would be ideal... but it's just not in my skillset or budget right now. So the repair ring is going to have to get the job done for me. :) It's just a matter of...

No one has any thoughts on the Fernco wax-free seal or the Set-Rite kit (compared to using regular wax or extended or stacked wax rings)?

Actually, in addition to that Fernco wax-free seal I linked to above, here's something else someone recommended to me:
...

Thanks again for the replies everyone. :)

Would you wholeheartedly recommend good, old-fashioned wax over this?...

Thanks for the replies.


I think this is still probably outside of my skill set. :o And the ones I've seen which go down into the pipe wouldn't fit inside this one, as it looks like it narrows...

So our old toilet was knocked loose surprisingly easily, and we removed it to find this:

The flange is embedded in the concrete. And the bolts were NOT in the proper slots on the left &...

Hi everyone,

I'm installing my first toilet (couldn't afford the Toto like we wanted, so we went with the American Standard Cadet 3 "Flush Right"), and the instructions say to use a wax ring. So...

Well, for the size I need (and in the price range I can afford), I see a few Toto toilets:

- Ultimate
- Supreme
- Aquia

Is there anything I should know -- like good or bad reviews -- for any...

Hmm... it's a 33-year-old house and we had it inspected by a licensed Home Inspector before we bought it. In the last 4 months of examining and purchasing this home, no one has ever said anything...

Thanks for the replies. To address the individual suggestions:

- We're assuming the floor is tiled over concrete, but as a couple who knows NOTHING about plumbing, digging into the concrete and...

Thanks for the replies.

I think they were looking at the water supply pipe going up (instead of going into a rear wall, it goes vertically in plain view, up to the pipes in the ceiling).

Well, crap. We've run into another issue with a new Drake toilet. There is a 4" PVC pipe extending from ceiling to floor right next to the existing toilet. It's about half an inch from the left...

Heh, thanks. :) We just liked that it was $15 cheaper, but maybe elongated is the way to go.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Now as long as we know we are clear to use a new Drake upstairs and...

Heh, so just as we were getting ready to order a Toto Drake for our house, a relative mentioned that if we were on the lower level of the house, we'd need a toilet that "flushed up".

Our house is...

I know... I just wondered if it meant any difference in water surface area, and therefore flush quality, etc.

Thanks for all the replies.

We close on the house this Wednesday, so we're officially ready to take the plunge now (d'oh... pun not intended :o ). As we researched toilets and browsed through...

Thanks for the replies.

I guess plunging is not a big deal to us, as that's how it is in my apartment now. We have 1.6gpf American Standards (don't know the model) and we've lived here for 2...

Hi all...

My wife and I just bought a house, so we're low on money and are prioritizing the handful of repairs that need to be made. At or near the top is fixing up a downstairs bathroom...
