    Best Rimless Flushing Technology

    Having had a Toto Drake II CST454 series installed a couple months ago, I can tell you I have had no issues whatsoever with it. No splashing No skidmarks / residue Powerful flush that cleans the bowl every time For a 1 GPF toilet, I am quite amazed at its performance. We have not had to clean...

    Enough clearance for a Drake II

    Yes, if you mean 7 to 8" to the left of the middle, mine had less clearance than that and it worked Here is a before pic with the old toilet And an after pic with the Drake II installed

    TOTO Vespin II tank options 1G vs. 1.28g

    I know it is not the same unit but I recently had a Toto Drake II 1gpf installed which uses the same flushing technology - no issues at all with the 1 gallon flush. It is quite powerful and cleans the bowl well. And I like the sleeker look

    Toto Drake II 1 gpf and Toto Entrada review

    And this was the old black toilet showing the supply line and the old escutcheon that was removed. You can see the base of the Drake II sits back very close to the wall compared to this old Kohler PS - ignore the white spots - we were cleaning the grout lines with oxi-clean which does a really...

    Toto Drake II 1 gpf and Toto Entrada review

    Since I learned a lot reading this forum and asked some questions on a potential issue, I thought I would come back and post this review now that everything is installed. The background - we were looking to replace two toilets. These were 3.5 gpf Kohlers installed 29 years ago when we built...

    TOTO Entrada, CST244EF, CST243EF Review and comments

    Just had one Entrada installed yesterday in a bathroom my wife primarily uses. Replaced a 30 year old rose colored 3.5 gallon Kohler that has been there from when we originally built the house. Alas, the flange had rusted and had to be replaced (neither of the repair flange kits my plumber...

    How much play is there in setting the closet bolts in flange - can I pick up an extra inch from wall

    Thanks Wayne Especially appreciate the info on the minimum size hole a plumber would need. I looked and I do have a few spare pieces of tile so if needed, I could have the one tile (and the subfloor under it) where the existing water supply is removed completely, have the plumbing done and...

    How much play is there in setting the closet bolts in flange - can I pick up an extra inch from wall

    Thanks. I can't do that until the old toilet is out. Just based on my measurements and that drawing, the pipe will interfere unless I can offset the toilet enough to the right - or shift the supply line back and or to the left

    How much play is there in setting the closet bolts in flange - can I pick up an extra inch from wall

    Thanks. That is in any direction, correct - so I can offset the Drake II 3/8" to the right I am not sure if that will be enough but that plus removing the escutcheon may make it close I will try that first I think worst case I would try to have a a small 3" by 3" piece of the tile and subfloor...

    How much play is there in setting the closet bolts in flange - can I pick up an extra inch from wall

    Sorry - I should have clarified the photo is of the existing toilet. The new Toto base would be much further back - 1 5/8" from the wall - and that pipe is like 2 1/2 to 3" out from the wall - so the base of the toilet will hit it I thought about removing the old escutcheon and would do so -...

    How much play is there in setting the closet bolts in flange - can I pick up an extra inch from wall

    Thanks - if that is the case, how big of a hole would a plumber need to make in the tile / subfloor to move the water supply line a couple inches left. I attached a pic of the existing toilet - the new toilet sits much further back, 1 5/8" from the wall. Can they do this just by cutting out a...
