toilet

I am in California (if that matters). This is a recent build. I recently started noticing a loud noise when I get up after using the toilet. The potty is loose but not sure if it actually rocks. The toilet tank seems almost too flush with the wall behind it although I am able to remove the lid...

Hello. I'd like to get opinions, suggestions for a toilet venting design in a tight space. The area in question is the transition from floor 1 (toilet, sink, shower) to cellar. Waste pipes bend 90 degrees and run across the cellar ceiling in-between joists; I don't want to run below joists or...

Hey all, I just reseated our upstairs toilet after raising the flange with some spacer rings, and it appears to have worked alright: no smell and no visible leaks. It's been flushed maybe 3 times since being reinstalled, I had the bathroom doors alls closed for several hours to make sure I...

Hello, I am looking at changing my master bathroom floor mounted toilet with a Geberit concealed wall hung toilet (2x6) and wanted to know if this change could use existing venting and overall if this change is correct for waste. Located in Ontario, Canada. I have two full bathrooms on the 2nd...

I want to install a splitter between the old toilet supply pipe (which appears to be copper or brass) and the existing shutoff valve so I can attach a spray hose. The house is 65 years old and the pipe looks to be original. The valve is a Sharkbite 1/4 turn with what looks like a 3/8” female NPT...

I was replacing a toilet in one of my upstairs bathrooms. After removing the wax ring, I noticed several cracks on the toilet flange as shown in the picture. There have been no leaks, to my knowledge, possibly due to the wax covering these cracks. I know taking this flange out may not be an easy...

Just came to a relative’s house in Florida and trying to shut off toilet water but no obvious valve, just what’s in the picture. I’m tempted to pull hard on it but it feels plastic and I’m afraid to break it. Any information on what this is and how to turn off? Thank you

Good morning, in the attached sketch toilet #2 would be connected directly to the top of vertical santee. Is that ok? The plan view of the layout is at the center and corresponding sections are on the top and right hand side. Thank you for all the feedback.

Hi Everyone, Found this forum while doing research and I'm hoping to get some clarifications from the community. I own a duplex with a unit in a daylight basement. The sewer line for that unit keeps getting clogged outside of the house where a section of pipe we replaced transitions back to...

Am aware shower/sink drainage can be connected to toilet drainage before the waste pipe exits the property, but just checking this connection isn't *too* close to the toilet bend?! It looks very close!! (but I am not a plumber by trade!) Any help massively appreciated. Many thanks. Photo of...

As mentioned in the title, the toilet in the basement has been removed since we are trying to find out why and where is the leaking from... Issues here: 1. Uneven Flange 2. Crack 3. damage drain pipe (in the cement/ dirt), top-view to see the bend on the pipe Need suggestions from here, I am...

We have in a rental property we own, a two pc toilet from 1923. The tank is wall hung, and the bracket is rusty, so removing may not be an option. There is a leak in the pipe between the tank and toilet (toilet is top spud) The WC has not moved in 100 years, and I am apprehensive about moving...

Good Day, Plumbing Gurus, I am seeking advice on how to properly drain and vent two back-to-back toilets in a symmetrical bathroom layout under a 4" slab on grade foundation with down-turned footers. This is new construction, I am owner/builder, and am new to plumbing and trying to research and...

I am wanting to use wall mounted toilets in my bathroom remodels but the cost for the wall mount toilet carriers is excessive. I like the Toto wall mount commercial toilets with a top bung and would like to use them with a high tank set up or with the tank mounted to the bowl. But when i...

Not sure if this is normal or not but it seems after every time I use the auger more poop and water keeps filling up the bowl of the toilet and I have to empty it so it doesn't overflow. Does this mean its working or is something else wrong?

I purchased this Cadet Pro model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CH4PF8Y?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 And noticed in the installation guide that it does not come with the wax ring. And cannot find what type of wax ring I would need for the installation. Would appreciate any advice.

Drake costs $429 at Home Depot, Ultramax is $606 Aside from the "harder to clean" reason to consider a one piece, is Ultramax the same as Drake in terms of quality / operability? In other words, if money wasn't an issue, does it make sense to buy Ultramax? I don't mind paying $180 more for a...

I need to replace the 2 old toilets. I measured the rough in as seen below. I have zero experience with this, so can use some advice. Seems that I need to buy the 14 inch rough-in toilets, although the 2nd is basically 13". Am I doing this right? Any advice on the models/brand for this rough-in...

I want to attach the Brondell CSL-40 hand-held bidet to the toilet. There is only about 4” of space with the bidet piece attached, so I need to replace the toilet’s 6” connector with a 24” all-metal flexible connector that loops. I have tried 20” but when looped there is so much tension it is...

Is it OK for the shower to be on the same vertical drain/vent line as the toilet? Seems risky, if toilet clogs. Could back up into shower. But I can't figure out any other way to vent the shower. The shower line is the 2" blue one. The toilet stack is 3". My apologies if this is a...
