Mansfield 2" trap vs. Toto 2 1/8"- Can 1/8" matter?

Posted by Jane on April 04, 2004 at 15:04:50:
I have a 3 yr. old Mansfield Agean (one piece toilet). It has a 2" trapway which gets clogged with pieces of waste that often seem to block each other at the trap. I have to plunge about 7 out of 10 times. And sometimes I have to plunge this blockage about 15 times to get it to go away. I believe I use proper rapid up and down plunging technique. The Toto has a 2 1/8" trapway. Is a tiny eighth of an inch going to make any difference? I'm tempeted to get the Toto Ultramax, but I'm afraid I'll still run into the same clogging problem.
