    Decorative drain beneath glass vessel sink

    I understand the need for the threads, I was just hoping someone knew of a manufacturer who provided one inch of them, rather than three inches, for this kind of situation. You have a point about the plating - I probably should reconsider the drilling idea. Thanks. The sink is in a powder room...

    Decorative drain beneath glass vessel sink

    Thanks, Terry. Actually, I was planning just to drill out the grid holes to make them a bit wider. I'm nervous about a pop-up drain, because there is no overflow. Is there a way to deactivate the ability for the pop-up to close? So no drains without threading? Is there anything like a sleeve...

    Decorative drain beneath glass vessel sink

    I am installing a glass vessel sink that will rest on a glass shelf, with no cabinetry beneath it. It will connect to a brushed nickel bottle s-trap coming out ot the wall. The s-trap and the drain below the sink will all be visible. All the sink drains I've found have about three inches of...

    Planning for bidet seat with wall-mount toilet

    I am adding a powder room and will be installing a wall-mounted toilet. I want to be able to use a bidet seat on it. I am pretty much settled on the Toto Aquia, because it has good reviews and a very short (21") depth for the small space it has to fit in. I already have a Biobidet seat that...

    Quietest toilet?

    That's a good suggestion. But blowing insulation into the spaces behind sheetrock with fireblocks between the studs is a major pain, and besides there is the matter of the door. Maybe some kind of bank vault thing...

    What exactly is a glazed trapway?

    The ads I've seen for the Toto Drake I just got said that it has a fully-glazed trapway. I thought this meant that the glazed finish of the bowl was continuous all the way through the channel that the waste will go down. But when I put my fingers in there, the surface seems considerably...

    dumb questions about installing drake

    The toto drake I bought last week has two things in its installation instructions that surprised me. I've only done a replacement once before, so I'm a little nervous. Toto recommends putting the wax ring on the toilet, rather than on the floor, which I've never heard of. Does this work...

    Quietest toilet?

    OK. I couldn't deal with both the social commentary and the wisecracks, so I bought a Drake this afternooon. (appreciate the San Raphael recommendation, JK60, but other people's experience with the Ingenium have been uneven, and I didn't want to risk it.) i supose I prefer loud rude noises to...

    Quietest toilet?

    I'm more concerned with the flush than the fill because the sound of running water if I'm serving dinner is not as disconcerting as the archie bunker sound of flushing. Plumbing is cast iron. I agree that i don't want a sloppy flush. I was hoping to get both quiet and neat. Is that not a...

    Quietest toilet?

    Because the one bathroom in my house is right next to the living room, I wanted the quietest flush possible. I installed a Kohler Rialto, which is very quiet; it barely murmurs when you flush it. Unfortunately, that's its only good quality. Double flush is almost always necessary, bowl wash...
