    Rectorseal Backflow Valve

    Rectorseal support insists they are no longer available. They are out of stock at online sites that list them. Any idea how to get the 96981 flapper?

    Rectorseal Backflow Valve

    Is the EBV-431F the Rectorseal 97034 that uses the 96980 flapper? That is called the New Style. They insist that the 96980 will not work with the Old Style which is what I have. It would be interesting to see if the tube assembly with the 96980 attached would drop into my Old Style T. Thank You...

    Rectorseal Backflow Valve

    I have a Rectorseal Clean Check Back Flow valve that needs replacement. It is basically a tube about 2' long that has the back flow flapper attached. The plastic or rubber flapper has become stiff and causes blockage. The plumbing and base assembly are 2' down under a concrete porch. Normally...

    3" PVC Repair Coupling

    Would this also apply to 3" ABS or does ABS glue give you more time? Thanks

    Bathroom Sink Slow Drain

    This sink has always drained slow even with new under sink trap etc. Slow and acts like it has a venting problem. Is there something wrong with this plumbing?

    Toto Promenade Fill Valve 2016?

    I just installed the 528MP. It is quiet and fills reasonably fast. The bowl level seems fine at the full open position. The big boxes here have a wall full of Fluidmasters and two or three Korkys. Thanks for your help and time.

    Toto Promenade Fill Valve 2016?

    Wow, Thanks for the fast response and the picture. That is the valve I have. The local Toto dealer sells the TSU99A.X for $24. So you guys recommend the 528MP over this one or the 528's that say they are specifically for Toto? What about the "PRO" Terry mentioned in another post? Thanks again...

    Toto Promenade Fill Valve 2016?

    We have a Toto Promenade that is about 4 years old. The original fill valve looks a bit different from most that I have seen. It has a flat blade screw adjustment knob coming out of the top. There are a lot of older threads recommending various versions of the Korky 528. GT, T, Pro, etc. and...

    Toto Drake Question

    You guys were right about the fill tube. The clip had come loose and it was up against the outside of the tube. I had looked in the tank to check for a water level adjustment and just did not notice it. Embarassing. Thanks again to everyone for the advice and recommendations. I really hope the...

    Toto Drake Question

    I did not mention my concern about the tiny water surface area to the users. Today after some real world testing they said "its ok but you have to brush it after every use". They have never had any issues with the Promenade. This is a major problem. Is it normal for this bowl? In other Toto's...

    Toto Drake Question

    Thank you for the responses. I went ahead and finised the install. The quality, fit and finish are excellent and the Drake is very nice looking. The flush seems to be comparable to the 1.6's. I have a Ultramax 1.6 and the other toilet at this house is a Promenade 1.6. I noticed that the water...

    Toto Drake Question

    I purchased a Toto Drake from a local plumbing supply. The Drake 2 was tempting but I decided to stay with the Drake 1 just for the 1.6 gallon Gmax. The bowl is a C744EL. As I was about to install the tank I noticed that it is a 1.28 gallon (ST743E) Does the combination of the C744EL and...

    Copper Service Line Replacement?

    The copper is almost 35 years old and would be disconnected at both ends if we replace the valve so I just thougt it would be a good idea to replace it while it is uncovered. Even a schedule 80 male into a copper female is not a good idea? The current temp fix is a 6" nipple with a PVC...

    Copper Service Line Replacement?

    The PVC fitting where my service line transitions from PVC to copper cracked at the threads. There is approx. 12 Ft of 1" copper from the transition to the house. It is about 3 Ft deep. While it is exposed I would like to replace the copper and old gate valve at the house with new and a ball...

    Proper Faucet Spout Length?

    Is there a proper or recommended length that a bathroom faucet spout should extend over the sink? A lot of them extend 2" past the edge which seems too close. Thanks

    Specific Flange Repair Request

    Thanks, I have removed the rusted ring and sanded off the 1/4" lip on the inside of the 4". A new ABS flange with a SS ring slides nicely into the 4" solving both the height and rusted ring problems. There is about a 2" gap all the way around the ABS that extends to about 8"deep so there is...
