I did want to add that Lowes has the American Standard Cadet one-piece here for $149 on sale, but Consumer Reports reported that this flushes solids like crap! Any comments? Thanks Terry! I wish you lived in Vegas. If you are visiting and need to subsidize your trip...give me a call! John : The Wellworth flushes great! You should have seen my previous 1.6 gal toilet. It was HORRIBLE. : The main problem with the flange is that the top plastic plices that but up against the metal part is crack and I had to pull off over 1/2 of the raidus of the black plastic. Also, the entire metal flange is all bent up and about 1/4 inch lower on the left than the right. : I intend to reconstruct the subfloor eventually, so how do i get the plastic flange OFF of the drain pipe? Is this possible? : John : : : : Was replacing a horrible 1.6 gal toilet this weekend with a Kohler Wellworth : : John, : : Hope it works for you. I get my share of complaints on those. : : hj replaces the stock flapper when he works on them to let more water through. : : On the flange repair, you can add a "red ring" over the existing flange. : : You will notice that the screw holes are farther out, so they can catch wood. : : Terry
