Yeah the Vormax looks interesting, but the extra flapper looks like extra potential problems? I would like to understand the Toto Tornado and what the difference is in models, but their website is so user unfriendly and lacking details. UGH

I am sure this is a common concern, but in this case it is more than just nice to have. Due to a medical issue, a family member expels (for the lack better way of saying it) a large soft amount that tends to fill the bowl and leave marks. Never a concern with flushing but rather needing to...

I know... I started this almost 7 years ago! Anyway life has seemed to 'gotten in the way' and he renovation is now finally planned this winter. Any further thoughts/ suggestions?

We will be renovating an existing bathroom and looking to replace the original 1950 AS once piece for an obvious multitude of reasons ranging from water consumption [how many gallons?], to performance [more on that later], to color [1950's pink!]. Anyway, the rest of the house has been...

The fill valve is all the way open, but I did not disconnect the water supply line yet, so I will do that. To clarify the hammering is durring the last 1/2" of fill or so of the tank. Prior to that there is not any concern. Just a thought, does the ID of the flex tube from the fill valve to...

After reading through here on leaking fill valves [water would continue to run ever so slightly after flushing], I followed the directions and removed and cleaned the unit. I found a piece of solder stuck in the tube and figured that must have been the problem and thought while I was at it I...

What would be a good way to "plug" a floor drain prior to installing carpet in our finished basement? There is a rough 4 1/2" hole in the basement floor [4" concrete slab] over a clay tile that is T-shaped and runs horizontally. The tile has water sitting in it, approximately 8" below the top...

ok..... so should I just leave well enough alone? It has been working fine, I was just thinking this would be something that would be a good improvement to a less than ideal, and now not permitted use. Thanks guys!

Ok, thanks for the clarification on the differences between the two. I am a bit confused on the comments that since it is an S trap it cannot be used, so looking for some insight here. Given the trap is where it is, has worked well for the past 10 years we have been here and guessing since the...

What is the difference between these two, and what is the recommended use for an S trap in a basement lav? I am looking at the Oatey 3901 In-Line and the Oatey 39016 AAV if that helps..... Thanks!! Oatey 39017 SURE-VENT AIR ADM VALVE, 1-1/2-Inch by 2-Inch, White

Just replaced the fill valve in our Toto Supreme from the new design valve with the adjustment screw to a Korky 528. Now the water level in the bowl is approximately 2" lower after a flush and the bowl refills. The water level in the tank is 3/4" down from the fill tube so I am not sure what...

Is there a way to take the valve apart to check/ fix this? The valve does not look like those I have seen in other posts refered to as a Kroky, what I have says "g max'on the top and does not appear to disassemble as the Korky. If not, is the Korky a direct swap and hopefully better quality...

Not the flapper!! Ok, well this is wierd..... what I thought was an issue with the flapper leaking appears to actually be the shut off valve not shutting off, if that makes sense. What seems to be happening is that I cannot adjust the water level below the top of the tube, and as a result I...

We have two ultramax, one is about 5 years old, the other 1 year. The older one has never had a single issue, but the new one has what I think might be a leak where the flapper and the flange mate together. I think the issue is here as the toilet seems to shut off after a flush then after some...

Anyone have luck with reglazing??

So it looks like I am going to have to do a whole lot of busting and breaking to get that beast out of there! It is kind of a shame, but my son is firmly against the pink in his bathroom! Can you blame a 4 year old!! Seriously it looks like I will be searching for something that I can drop...

:eek: I did not realize how poor my spelling and sentence structure was until I read the quote from me above...EEK! Anyway, yes I agree not many will fit into a 48" long or round tub, but maybe should have instead asked for guidance on a tub that would fit diagonally within that space. It...

Howard, Thanks for the link, that is almost exactly what the current tub looks like, ours does not the the chamfered corner.... I guess that means I will have more than 300 lbs of dbris to remove! Too bad there is not anyone local that would want to reclaim one of these in all their pink...

We are planning for the remodel of our original 1950's pink on pink on pink bathroom and are having a hard time finding a tub that would fit within the exisiting opening. The tub to be removed is in a 48 x 48 alcove that is bound on one side by the exterior wall, 90 degrees to that is a...
