I have an existing 3" dyer vent through a brick fascia that I am enlarging it to 4-1/4" to fit a standard 4" aluminum duct. What should I be filling the 1/8" gap around between the brick and the duct with? Type N Mortar? For the actual vent cap I have chosen "Dryerwallvent". Their installation...

I appreciate the post so I wanted to follow up and let everyone know my findings. After a few months of searching I located a toilet that is as close to my specifications as possible. I did compromise and get an ADA height. Mansfield Barret 115-106 Per the spec sheet...

I am having a really hard time finding a toilet. Little background about my house. 1950 ranch with the original american "standard" ming green bathroom. Matching toilet, sink and tub. Doing a complete gut of this bathroom and saving the original fixtures for second bathroom in the basement...
