I'm remodeling the basement powder room to add a shower. I figured I would replace the old blue wall hung toilet with a new one, either the AS or the Gerber mentioned here (still undecided which). I wish there were nicer looking wall hung with exposed tanks (just don't trust a tank I can't look into, that's why the high tank toilet in the main floor powder is getting replaced too.) Use the old carrier, attach new toilet, no problem, right? Well the plumber I had out here over the weekend says the old toilet is not vented, so the old cast iron on the other side of the wall will have to have a chunk cut out, and tied in to a vent (luckily all is above the concrete floor in the utility room). He said the new plumbing put in will be PVC, which will not connect to the old carrier, so I won't be able to reuse the carrier. If this is so, then what carrier do I get for either of the two toilets I mentioned? I've looked on the spec sheets, and neither one says anything about it. Or is there a way to use the old cast iron connection with the carrier with the PVC he puts in?
Thanks for any input.
