    Please share if your trim pieces have silicone, Polyseamseal, or nothing?

    Anyone else use any type of caulk around the diverter escutcheon/trim piece, even if it is supposed to have a gasket? Anyone else caulk around their tub spout or shower arm flange/trim piece in a combination tub/shower? Terry, please see post #3

    Toto was grouted to my tile-cover grout with Loctite Polyseamseal or silicone?

    Toto was grouted to my tile-cover grout with Loctite Polyseamseal or silicone?

    Whoops, sorry to be confusing. The grout is already there. So the choices are: 1. Ask him to put polyseamseal on top of the grout as long as it will adhere to the grout 2. Ask him to remove the grout first, then put the polyseamseal around the base 3. Leave the grout there (grout is Mapei...

    Caulking toilet base

    Wow, Terry, great video! Your son made carrying the toilet look so easy-no way am I trying that! I have a question about the part where Jamie caulks the bowl. I noticed he seemed to make the area damp first, then applied the caulk. I thought the area around the base had to be totally dry so...

    Toto was grouted to my tile-cover grout with Loctite Polyseamseal or silicone?

    I am in the middle of another bathroom remodel, and I had planned for my Toto Drake to be reinstalled after the floor was tiled and then thought I would have the base caulked with Loctite Polyseamseal 2 in 1 Tub and Tile. Well, when I asked the tiler about putting the Polyseamseal around the...

    Please share if your trim pieces have silicone, Polyseamseal, or nothing?

    Terry, would you: 1. Put the Loctite Polyseamseal all around the trim for the shower arm (there is no hole at the bottom) or would you leave some of the bottom of the shower trim open in case water got through the Polyseamseal at the top? And also put it all around the tub spout except for...

    Please share if your trim pieces have silicone, Polyseamseal, or nothing?

    2 years ago the contractor who remodeled our master bath put Loctite Polyseamseal (a siliconized acrylic caulk) around the trim piece that covers the shower diverter (but left the little whole at the bottom open) and around the trim piece that covers where the shower arm meets the wall. Now we...

    Which Kohler Archer drain do you prefer?

    I was planning on purchasing a 60" x 30" Kohler Archer tub (K1946-LA-O). There are two options for the slotted overflow bath drain, brass (K7271) or PVC (K7272). Which drain do you prefer and why? The owner of the remodel business I am going to use said he prefers PVC, but his construction...

    Neorest® 700H MS992CUMFG Dual Flush Toilet, 1.0 & 0.8 GPF

    My first thought when I read the original post was that this was overkill for a toilet. But then I realized there are probably people with mobility issues or health issues like rheumatoid arthritis that actually need a remote to lift the lid. So no judgement here, but I did get a chuckle out...

    Neorest® 700H MS992CUMFG Dual Flush Toilet, 1.0 & 0.8 GPF

    Remote control for a toilet? Oh, wait, that is for the washlet. Hmm, I wonder how popular this toilet will be in the United States?

    Can I put an EcoDrake tank on top of Drake Bowl?

    Update: My husband re-installed the tank and it still leaked so his verdict was a hairline crack. I determined that I have the older 1.6gpf bowl so I purchased a new 1.6 gpf tank (ST743S). He installed it and all is fine. Thank you, wjcandee, Wallijonn, and Gary Swart for such helpful...

    Can I put an EcoDrake tank on top of Drake Bowl?

    Tonight my husband thinks he cracked the tank of our Drake (1.6 gpf, standard height, elongated sanigloss bowl). The tank has been feeling a bit wobbly when I flush it. So he tightened the bolts attaching the tank to the bowl and now it leaks. He can't actually see a crack but he sees...

    What seat do you have on your Eco Drake/Drake/Drake II?

    wjcandee, thanks for pointing out where the spacers touch. The Sta-Tite Fastening System sounds great. Wallijonn, I just bought the nonADA Eco Drake. That is helpful information about the width difference, JMac. Exclusive to the orange store is a Bemis Just Lift seat where you just have to...

    Is a slip on tub spout better than a threaded one?

    I currently have a slip on tub spout but I am changing all of my fixtures to brushed nickel. Is the slip on spout style the most leakproof?

    Do you like the Sioux Chief Smart Spout?

    It used to be called the Smart Tug Tub Spout. It is a slip on Tub spout that has a plastic disc that it is supposed to eliminate the need to caulk around the spout where it meets the wall. The description makes it sound like it is an all-metal tub spout. Has anyone used this before?

    What seat do you have on your Eco Drake/Drake/Drake II?

    wjcandee, do your Mayfair seats have the Sta-Tite Fastening System and if so, do you like it? When you twist the plastic hinges to unlock for cleaning have they ever broken off?
