Thank you Thank you all, for your friendly and very helpful advice. I already have the pan installed. There is no existing drain conveniently located, so will add the pressure relief valve on the cold side. Regards, DG

The real question... Do I really need to install a drain? I went to a local hardware store to get some stuff to connect up the plumbing, and I chatted with one of the owners. He was surprised at my wanting to install a drain. He said that in 60 years, he hasn't known anyone who put in a...

Thank you for the tip. What does one normally do for a drain in a location that is never or very infrequently used? How are water heater drains typically handled? Regards, DG

Yeah, it sort of grabbed my wife's attention and she showed it to me. They call it a stone, as in a rounded, water-worn rock. To me it looks more like an egg. We're putting in a new bathroom and we're tempted. But, even though it may be the coolest looking toilet in the known universe...
