I have a toilet that has been installed for about 2 years. Today I noticed a little seepage on one side by a grout line. The toilet is installed over tile on a concrete slab. The toilet is mounted...

Ok. It's up against the bottom of the countertop. Couldn't go any higher without drilling a hole in the countertop.
I understand a high loop! When I watched it siphon water, the sink, disposal,...

But it is higher than the disposal drain line. I thought that's what mattered.

I have a dishwasher with a drainline that runs into the bottom of the sink cabinet and into the garbage disposal.
When we don't use the dishwasher for a few days it starts to stink and we notice...

I am replacing the disposal under my kitchen sink. The new disposal is a littl bigger than the old one and the pipes need to move a little.

The existing drain pipes are 1 1/2" PVC. All glued...

Can anyone recommend a garbage disposal. I want a good one.

Filter was clean. Replace entire valve with the ToTo replacement valve. Looks like I got the height adjustment off by one notch. The water level in the tank is about 1/8" from the top of the...

Not questioning you, just curious. How would a clogged filter keep the valve from shutting off?

It's a type A.

I got the Korky 528MP valve. Did not have the MPK version. Is Korky really as good as the ToTo valve? I'm not concerned about paying a little more, just the quality.

The tank fills past the overflow and water runs down the overflow. Also, the water line that goes into the overflow tube keeps flowing water into the overflow tube.

I have a Gwyneth Toilet that is about 5 years old. This week it decided to act up and wont stop running. When the tank gets full, the water keep coming in.

Under t he lid are codes THU253s,...

I decided on the two piece Drake ll since they don't make the Gwyneth anymore. The Ultramax just seemed a little too modern for our house.

The Drake ll appears to be the same thing as the Gwyneth...

I screwed the flange to the concrete floor using Tapcon screws. After seeing how plastic flanges crack under tension, I will not install another flange without screwing it to the floor.

Thanks...

I tried your advise using the paper. Everything went fine.

Thanks for the help!

Does anyone ever use plumbers lube on the tank bolts and tank gasket?

Seems like it might help seat the tank gasket.

After setting the tile the pipe coming up through the floor is pretty low. I will only have about 5/8" of glue surface between the pipe and the PVC toilet flange.
The flange will be bolted to the...

Can anyone tell me how the Promenade compares to the Ultramax ll as far as reliability and flushing.

Thanks for the replies.
I picked up a 5/16" diamond core bit for about $17 at the local hardware store.

I didn't want to take a chance of the tile breaking after I installed it so I decided to do...

I need to drill some holes in porcelain tile to screw down a toilet flange.

Should I drill the holes before or after the tile is set?

Can anyone recommend the bit and or technique to use?
...

OK, I busted out the concrete around the toilet flange. I musted out a little mre than need to get rid of some high spots.
If I make the new flange level with the top of the tile I will have to...

The concrete is tight against the pipe.

I am installing new tile in my bathroom. This is over a concrete slab.

When I started to lay the final tiles around the toilet flange I noticed a crack around the inside of the flange.

I...

I am getting ready to buy another Toto 2 piece toilet. The last was a Gwyneth, now Ultrmax ll.

The last time I installed the Gwyneth I could not get the tank to completely seat on the base. I...

If that were true the shelves wouldn't be full of washers and repair kits.
