I have been interested to read about the Duravit wall-hung toilets. I'm glad someone here likes wall-hung toilets! I have been looking at and pricing toilets all over the place - the wall-hungs are more expensive - in the case of the Duravits they run around 1000 US when you include the cost...

jimbo - I just went down and measured the water level in the tank and did the math. It's using slightly over 4 gallons per flush. I've certainly made myself look like an idiot. A huge tank is still a huge tank and getting the water level down low enough so that it only uses 1.6 GPF is...

How did you modify the toilet so it uses less water? Well, I'm totally ignorant and so that may have helped.:) Somewhere on this site I read that the first gravity toilets sold to comply with the new lower water use requirements were simply the existing models with fill valves that used...

It used to use that much water, but I took the guts out and now it works with a third of the water - still probably around 2 GPF, though. I've looked at a lot of toilets on the web. I won't bore you with the details, but deco style toilets that will fit are tough to find. I don't really...

The Sibley has a 11/2 inch rear spud. All the requirements could be met, but the size of the water supply line. Ours is only 3/4". I'm not a plumber, so I appreciate your input and hope my questions are not too annoying. I'm new, but I have been reading the toilet threads for quite some...

I think maybe I just figured out the answer to my last question - takes more water to build up the pressure for the valve to operate?

Thank you for your reply, Redwood. Why would you need a larger water supply for the 1.6 GPF or dual flush 1.2/1.6 models? I have an old Sibley toilet that is original to my house and I would like to move it to our upstairs bathroom. It's one of those with the tank mounted on the wall and...

Are there any specific requirements for toilet bowls when using a flushometer valve? I'm talking about a tankless toilet - not the type that has the Sloan flush valve in a tank. Thank you.
