    Installing A Salvaged Flushometer Toilet

    I am hoping to replace my current toilet with this salvaged 1930s Kohler toilet. My current toilet is a rear spud flushometer, but the salvaged Kohler toilet is a top spud. The water supply line is 21 ¼” above the floor. The toilet has a height of 15”. Unfortunately, with a top spud toilet, this...

    Installing a Salvaged 1930s Flushometer Toilet

    Identifying the model and GPF of my pre-1999 Kohler flushometer toilet

    Hello, I live in a NYC prewar building. Recently our flushometer toilet started leaking in (internally, no water outside, just heard dripping) the flushometer assembly. We had a plumber come in and he recommended replacing the whole flushometer assembly. We live in a co-op and I don't do...

    Flushometer handle drips briefly during flush - what's needed for more than a temporary fix?

    Sequence: Plumber is over for an unrelated problem, and asked to look at the handle. Says "easy fix" and swaps in a new handle. Leak stops for a few months. Then repeat. Curious if there perhaps is a more deeply internal part that could use attention? (Presto Valve, Coyne and Delaney, Brooklyn...

    Replacing a urinal flushometer

    To the right is the shutoff that is turned with a flat blade screwdriver. What you see now is the cap that unthreads to give you access to it. The flushometer is connected by the large nut on the right, which has some adjustment for distance and the two nuts on the vertical that hold the vacuum...

    I really need some professional advice to put my mind at ease...

    Hi, I moved into a prewar building in NYC built in 1939. The plumbing was very old and I had to renovate the bathroom. This year in late July the building had to replace the risers from the 6th floor to the 2nd. I'm on the 5th floor. Originally I had a flushometer toilet, and I think all...

    New bathroom renovation pipe gripe

    Recently, I hired a contractor, who renovated my kitchen, to renovate my bathroom in my mid-rise New York City apartment. My building was built in 1925. He did a great job on the kitchen, and overall, a great job on the bathroom, but his plumber left behind two eyesores that I cannot get him to...
