Nowhere around the handle. I hear you, and just thinking there is something less obvious that I am missing.

It could be, but unlike the exploded view, there is no set screw on the handle.

Hi All, I believe what I have here is a Kohler fixture but I am not positive as it was installed by a former owner. It has developed a drip that I would like to fix by replacing the cartridge. The problem I am having is that while I can unscrew the fitting that seats around the base of the...

It is has been a long while since I have been on last-- reflective of my current station in life with not a ton of time for house projects-- and I was saddened to read of Terry's passing. This site has been such a great resource for so many people, and I am heartened by the community Terry...

Hello all, Over the weekend we ran into a situation and I would welcome thoughts and guidance before things resume tomorrow. Here are the basics: We live in a 1920s colonial with public sewer connection. Several years ago, we began experiencing intermittent slow drains, weak flushing and...

Nope-- no tape. Any suggestions?

I am in the process of installing a pedestal sink with a widespread faucet. The faucet is a Toto Mercer. The spigot screws into a tee connector which then connects to the hot and cold water valves. Here is my problem: the area under the sink has a recess that will only accommodate the...

Thanks for the replies (the sarcasm, not so much). I live in a 1920's home (and have since 1993) and have never bought a new toilet. I also guess I never used a toilet with a 3" flush valve, which explains why the water exits so quickly.

Hi, I just installed my new Carrollton toilet (love the look) and wanted to run a few things by those in the know here. Flushing -- The flapper appears well-adjusted based upon the length of the chain, but a simple flip of the flush lever doesn't cause the entire (or most of the) water in the...

Thanks for the replies. I did look on Google and various websites for pictures and explanations, but the basis for the measurement was not clear to me. My current fixtures are all one-hole. Frenchie-- I am not sure where you are coming from when you talk about limited choices for pop up...

Thanks for the reply. I understand that the choice is up to me when I order the sink, but I was curious about what exactly the 8" (or 4") measurement is between-- valve to valve or valve to spout.

Hi, We are replacing the sink in our very small powder room with a pedestal style where the lav measures 24" x 19". Can someone provide some guidance on whether to go with 4-inch or 8-inch centers on the sink drilling? Does the 8" refer to the distance between each drilled hole (i.e. the...

Thanks guys. My current toilet is a small round front, but given that it is a 12-inch rough-in, it comes out practically the same distance as the Carrollton would from its set back position. I was concerned more with the overall look of the toilet's elongated bowl and what appears from...

I have a pretty small powder room that I am renovating. I need a 14"-rough in toilet and was looking at the Toto Carrollton. I noted that this toilet, because the bowl is moved back, does not extend out as far as the other "wide tank" 14-inchers. The question I still have is whether the size of...
