the toilet is at least 50 years old. the tank and bowl are separate pieces, connected by a 1.5" pipe threaded at both ends.
connected to the underside of this pipe is 1/4" tubing that runs down and into the wall. i think that this might hook up to an equally mysterious 1/2" pipe that runs down next to the 4" cast iron dvw and presumably connects up with it under the slab.
without a picture, anyone know what this tubing is?
i'm guessing that it's some sort of overflow protection? but wouldn't i lose water through this path every time i flush? and 1/4" doesn't seem big enough anyway to stop an overflow.
