Hi Everybody
I have a question. Actually, it's for my neighbor. In response to seeing my "new" handicapped toilet I installed in my bathroom which I wrote about months ago, my neighbor decided that he wanted to replace one of the toilets in his house with a handicapped toilet.
He went to some salvage yard or junk place and picked up a handicapped commercial toilet bowl that was never designed to have a tank. It has a Sloan flush valve on it. There are no bolt holes for a toilet tank to bolt on to. The toilet bowl he bought is branded Universal Rundle. It is from the 1980's.
He tells me that he thinks he can take the tank off his existing toilet (a 30 year old Universal Rundle Toilet), set the tank on the higher bowl, mark where bolt holes are supposed to go on the bowl, drill them, and then install the toilet as a two piece toilet.
I told him that I didn't think that was possible as he would probably break the toilet drilling the holes and that the toilet bowl probably wouldn't flush right as it was made for high pressured water from a Sloan valve. He disagrees.
What do you think?
