: If the tank fits the bowl, and most manufacturers changed the mountings so they would not, then the bowl will flush two or three times at each flush. The mounting is possible. Supplier gave me parts. So I will be mating 3.5 gal tank to a 1.6 gal bowl. Do professional plumbers normally do this or do they just replace toilet and bowl together? Granted, chipping or breaking the bowl doesn't happen often. Should I be discouraged from doing this?!! Will extra water flow over if bowl becomes stopped up?
