Hello, I’m trying to replace the gasket on my sink drain pipe. However the gasket I bought slips into the drain because the size of the down pipe is too big for the gasket. The gasket fits perfectly on the lip of the bottom part just slips into the drain when tightening. Sorry I don’t know all...

So far I tried bleach, vinegar, hot water, and hydrogen peroxide, but the smell persisted. After using Lysol directly in the overflow it seems to have fended the odor off for a couple days now. The Lysol scent is still there so I'm curious once that wears if it the earthy odor will come back...

Thanks.

I’m wondering how far the tailpipe should go into the ptrap on a bathroom sink? Should I trim it if it goes too far in?

I’m trying to clean out the overflow with cleaner. I’m trying to figure out what to put where the pop up is to prevent solution from leaking out. I want to keep the solution in there overnight. Is there a good way to accomplish this? Also, what’s the best solution to remove a lingering odor...

I did change out the valve because it seemed to dribble more often and when releasing pressure it seemed to spray water from release pin. I found that the old one was actually starting to corrode on the inside and likely about to fail. Attaching files of the drain line. The only problem is that...

I was wondering if the t&p is supposed to drip periodically? It seemed to drip a bit during the drain and refill. It doesn't seem to be dripping now. Does it normally drip under certain conditions, like after a drain and refill or does it normally not drip at all? Is it supposed to be...

Used a coat hanger to tug the toy out, thanks!

Hey Guys, the inevitable happened. My 2 year old flush down a toy train down the TOTO Entrada. It's stuck where the toilet drain bends, it seems like it goes further around the bend when we try to pull it out. Any suggestions?

I got the toilets installed, a Drake II and the Entrada. The plumber tried to save money on the Drake II and used the old water line, which he tilted the bowel towards the water line in order for it to reach. It was also leaking from the inlet valve on the toilet. Also the caulking turned blue...

Hey so one of the entradas was cracked from online and they're sold out. Will the CST454CEFG fit in the 12.5" round in?

I couldn't find a bad thing to be said about the Entrada so I went with two of those. I'll report back when I get installed.

Guys, The thing that concerns me about TOTO Entrada is that it doesn't have the Double Cyclone technology. I need something low maintenance, an immediate wipe down after a #2 isn't necessarily possible given the family aspect. I found this rebate too on the home depot website, can I use both...
