Time goes fast! It's been over two years since I started this thread. I installed the Toto Drake about a year ago and we love it! Thanks again! Mike:D

Hello. I bought a 'shower tower' over a year ago and finally hooked it up after gutting the bathroom and put it back together. The cold works great and the flow slows to a stop as I adjust all the way to hot. I removed the tower and have no problems with flow from supply lines. I've never...

Hj I'm sorry. I guess I'm not understanding. The house is a cape cod and my main stack/vent is in about 6' from the back wall of the house. Non of the traps on the 1st floor are "vented" individually. Wet vent system, right? It looks like they put a wye in stack under the 2nd floor to run...

Fingers crossed Thanks. I guess the other professionals are agreeing with you. We have a cesspool and went our first 6 yrs. here without having it pumped. It was less than half full so that seems to be still working great!

House built in 1940 with full bathroom on 1st floor. By your descriptions this is a wet vent system. It appears many years ago the 2nd floor bathroom (toilet, sink and closet where the tub would go) was added. I'm in the middle of gutting the 2nd floor bath to update it and add a tiled...

Thanks HJ. So now I guess this becomes a volume question. With the shower fixture needing 3/4" for volume of water, do I need to run it before reductions to 1/2"? If I change it to 3/4" all the way up to the bathroom, can I "T"-off to the existing 1/2" lines to the kitchen, 1st...

Hello! I'm adding a shower and the fixture recommends 3/4" supply lines. The city line comes in at 3/4" and then it is reduced before the water heater. If I change it to 3/4" all the way up to the bathroom, can I "T"-off to the existing 1/2" lines to the kitchen, 1st floor bathroom, laundry...
