    Magical toilet floating in the air

    . Hello. I am not a plumber. I'm just some schmuck who thought he could figure things out on his own. And while the toilet replacement went reasonably well, there is one problem. The previous toilet had a 1950s manufacturing date and sat nice and flat on the floor. The flange is ABS and so I...

    Matching whites among brands

    I've found plenty of information on matching Toto, Kohler, and American Standard whites. Unfortunately, I've fallen in love with a Whitehaus pedestal sink and wonder which of the Toto whites would go best, if not match? Thanks for any help you can give!

    Video of chugging in my pipes caused by flushing Toto Drake toilet, can anyone help?

    Here's a video I made of the chugging in my pipes after I flush my Toto Drake ST743S toilet and the tank fills. I've replaced the flapper and the flush valve (as suggested on another thread on this site), but it hasn't fixed it. Here's the video, watch the whole thing a little over 3 minutes...

    Redoing toilet flange over tile with a 4" + drop to the drain pipe

    Hi all, I am making a toilet repair. Here is where I am and what I am thinking. I have a 4 inch ABS DWV pipe that now sits open about 4 inches below the surface of the tiled floor which I think generally speaking is pretty far away. The pipe elbows 90 degrees about 1.25 inch below its open...

    Toilet Horn too big, what should I do.

    I tried to install a used american standard toilet into my new house from my old house that worked fine, but the horn is about 3.25in wide and the opening of the pipe in the flange is 3 in. What should I do? I was thinking one of two things: Buy a new toilet (probably upgrade to a Toto) Or...

    Squatty Potty for handicapped toilets.

    I don't know how many of you have been seeing the Squatty Potty ads. The first one was hilarious and they have others after that. Here's the first one: They should win an award for this ad! :-) So I was wondering what the height difference is, between handicapped height toilets and regular...

    Framing under new toilet flange

    Hello, I poked around through the archives, but was unable to locate an answer to my question, but sorry if this has already been asked and answered a million times... I've gutted an old bathroom and reframed to make it level, square and plumb by sistering 2x8s to the existing joists, building...

    Rusted flange, need to replace?

    We had our bathroom re-tiled and now need to reinstall the toilet. Subfloor is concrete. The flange looks rusted and we aren't sure it will bolt down the toilet and be secure (see pic below). Are we ok to just add spacers to get to the right height and reinstall or does this flange need to be...

    15.5 Inch Rough-in

    Hello, I know variations of the question get asked a lot, but here is my personal situation. I recently moved into a new (used) house with a basement bathroom where the toilet has a 15.5 inch rough-in (house built in 2012), which has almost a 5 inch gap between the tank and the wall. Because...

    Moving toilet rough-in

    I currently have about a 15-inch rough-in and have rejected the Toto Unifit offerings because of the other specs (specifically, we want a round bowl and a seat height no more than 16 inches), so I'm looking at moving the rough-in and installing a Toto Eco Ultramax. I have easy access to the...

    Smell at base of toilet ONLY during mild temps (around 60 degrees)

    Bought a 1950s Cape last August and immediately remodeled the main floor bathroom. Put a new toilet in (a cheap dual-flush model from Sam's Club--which might be the problem but I'll continue) and had some water around the base after a few days. Since the pipe is cast iron leading to PVC in the...
