toilet

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...

I've read online that it's ok for the shower and toilet to be on the same vertical drain/vent pipe. Seems risky, if the toilet clogs. But I can't figure out any other way to drain/vent the shower. I've attached a file showing what I'm thinking of doing. The shower line is 2", the stack is...

I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but my application got rejected because as I understand it, that the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower (I assume it is to prevent risk of...

Hi all, I am nearly finished with a bathroom remodel and am having difficulty finding a new toilet that will fit. My water supply valve comes out of the floor. I am wanting a skirted, modern toilet, but it looks like most of them won't work because of the valve placement. I had thought that this...

Looking to move a 3" waste drain over to the 21-22" mark shown in the first image so it's not so close to the wall. 2nd floor, no waste above this level. Plan to elbow through the 2x10, and then back up to the toilet. A street elbow and a two hub elbow puts the flange about where I'd want it...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here, I hope I can get some valuable feedback and advice from all of you. I am currently remodeling my washroom. I noticed that my toilet flange was broken and was causing my toilet to rock back and forth. I decided that I would replace the toilet flange...

I have a toilet that needs to be replaced. The front of the toilet is over an inch lower than the back is, if I'd set it right on the floor. Too much to use shims. I saw someone using plaster of paris under it to level it out but I don't feel like plaster is strong enough. It's also not very...
