    Toto unifit or Kohler K5381which is better to convert 14” rough in to 12”?

    Hmm I read this question differently. My question is which brand with a unifit type adapter works better. Kohler or Toto? Then I'll know which brand to start with or if they are equal. Any clogging problems endemic to either solution? I need a toilet that looks like it belongs in a hundred year...

    Cast Iron Sink Excess Enamel

    semi-solved sink situation Well the bump is smoothed down now, sanded/filed to even with the cast iron so we shall see.

    Cast Iron Sink Excess Enamel

    Cast Iron Sink Excess Enamel

    Unsure about the washer/mount Yes it's a Kohler sink. I've ordered a costly disposal flange (antique brass) which I'm picking up today. I hope it will be deep enough to avoid the problem as mentioned above. The flange I'm replacing goes very deep, but then the part that clamps the flange to...

    Cast Iron Sink Excess Enamel

    I'm looking for advice on hooking up my brand new cast iron kitchen sink. It's an undermount double-bowl which my counter contractor put in. Now that it's in under the counter (installed on rails) I am trying to hook up a garbage disposal to the smaller bowl. The problem is that the enamel...
