Toto Horn Notch

[Tim.]

Thank you all for all the useful information throughout this forum! After much research (and some convincing of the wife) I am the proud owner of a brand new Toto Drake II. I plan to install it this weekend, however when I was inspecting the bowl I noticed a notch in the horn. I'm not sure if this is normal or a defect. I do know the horn is not always perfectly round, but this is clearly a notch. It does not appear to be shipping damage as upon inspection you can see some of the white glazing inside the lip of the notch.

Anyway I'm probably worried about nothing. I attached the photo to this post. Anyone care to let me know if I should take it back to my pluming supply house for a replacement? Or of this is totally normal? Thanks all!

EDIT: FYI the bowl us stamped Made in USA

I see that all the time. Nothing to worry about. I don't know why I see those notches, but I do. Works great though!

Thanks Terry! Now to try and scrape the grout off the base of the existing toilet so I can lift it..
