    American Standard Cadet 3 Three Toilet consumer product review

    Cadet 3 flapper comes off Folks - I have a Cadet 3 10" rough-in toilet. Got it during a remodeling project bad dream (thus no desire for warranty work) a couple of years ago. Eventually it got installed into a spot that could have taken a 12" rough-in, but.... Anyway - from day 1, it runs...

    shower receptor question

    Thanks Jim. The shower pan is a 3 wall installation. Could be you are right - but then it seems like I'd see something called a triple threshold (though I realize that is kind of a strange thing to imagine...a shower against a wall with glass on three sides... hmmm.

    shower receptor question

    I need to replace my standard 36 x 36 shower receptor. What in the heck is the difference between a single threshold and double threshold shower pan? And why would I want one vs the other? Thanks!

    Adapt a bar sink as a bathroom sink

    I'd like to put a round stainless bar sink into a vanity for use as "the bathroom sink". Obviously I can just use it as is with a kitchen type drain strainer basket and not hook up the stopper control. But as I am going to use a bathroom sink faucet set (8" centers in the vanity top), is...

    How much room makes sense around a toilet?

    Thanks - we've got it worked out a 12" toilet rough in would've given me more options for the toilet and thus bought me a few inches, but that was not to be. A Cadet 3 it is. Thanks for everyone's help

    Flush-cutting a 4x4

    Use a router I realize that plumbers do not usually have routers around on a job site - but I would have made a collar (spacer to hold the router base higher than the floor) around the 4x4, then dropped the bit a little at a time

    How much room makes sense around a toilet?

    I am finishing my basement. My basement was roughed in years ago for a toilet and tub - drains on opposite sides of what was envisioned as a bathroom with the tup on the end wall and the toilet and vanity on left. My contractor said "do you want a shower" and my wife said yes. HE then said to...

    HELP - 10" Rough In Toilet Recommendations - Under the gun to select

    Thanks - Any opinions on the American Standard Cadet 3? 3" valve opening, more standard flapper flush. Champion 4 (the redesigned Champion) does not come in 10". I may need to get a second mortgage if I am stuck with Toto.. :-)

    HELP - 10" Rough In Toilet Recommendations - Under the gun to select

    I've read Terry's "Report on Toilets". I need a 10" rough in toilet. I have not had to buy a toilet since 1989. And now they are all water savers - 1.6 GPF. It appears that most of the highly rated toilets in the report are a) 12" rough ins and b) pressure assisted. But in this forum in...
