    Eljer Diverter Stuck

    I’m installing a rebuild kit in an early 70’s Eljer shower valve. So far no issues with hot or cold, but the diverter stem is “hung up” in the valve. I’ve loosened and removed the body, but can’t get the stem itself out. It wiggles, it’s free to move, just can’t get it out. If need be I’ll...

    Eco Drake Flapper

    Thanks for the info. I’m going to try the 2023 on another original EcoDrake that is due for a new flapper.

    Eco Drake Flapper

    I just replaced the original flapper in our Eco Drake with a Korky 2021BP G-Max Flapper. Although the flappers appear to be identical, the original had a plastic float on the chain above the flapper that I switched over to the new flapper. It seems to work fine. Was the float the difference...

    Faucet Cartridge Terminology (CCW)

    I’m dealing long distance with a supplier that has early nineties Jameco ceramic cartridges in sealed envelopes. Some are labeled CCW with others CW. So you’re saying the CCW are most likely counter clockwise off?

    Faucet Cartridge Terminology (CCW)

    When a cartridge is labeled CCW does it turn on or off with counter clockwise motion?

    Transition Type B Vent to Single Wall

    I’m scoping out the replacement of a corroded single wall water heater vent with Selkirk Type B vent pipe. The vent runs from the heater at a decent incline upward about 8 feet to a 3” single wall tee into the furnace flue. I have not found an adapter to transition the Type B to single wall...

    Gerber Ceramic Cartridge Install

    I've got the old compression cartridge out of a 70’s Gerber shower valve and am about to install a ceramic (Gerber 98705). But first, do I need to remove the compression seat? If so, is there a different seat for the ceramic?

    Drake or Drake II (has anyone successfully removed hard water stains from CEFIONTECT?)

    I have the same issue (rust stains on three CEFIONTECT Drakes). I see toilets in public restrooms that look “cleaner†than my Drakes. So what’s the answer, replace with non CEFIONTECT units?

    Is my new Toto SS114 toilet seat supposed to be loose and floppy? -with video-

    We've got three of them. Initially the wiggle surprised me, but it hasn't been an issue for us. We like the seats.

    Bowls Not Filling

    Issue resolved. On first toilet removed valve cap and cleaned refill nipple. It was somewhat restricted. When this only partially resolved issue, I replaced the refill tube. That did it, bowl refilled like new. Same procedure resolved problem on 2nd and 3rd toilets. Thanks for the help.

    Bowls Not Filling

    I installed three 1.28 Drakes with Korky 528T fill valves in early 2009. In varying degrees the bowls in all three no longer fill as high as they once did (and should). In all cases the tanks refill to within ¼†of the overflow. And the refill tubes are properly positioned. Might...

    TOTO fill valves

    What’s the difference between Korky fill valves TSU07A-5 and 528T? Apparently Korky TSU07A-5 was (perhaps is) the factory installed valve. And Korky 528T is the recommended replacement valve. Both are available on the web. Are they the same?

    New Drake – Inconsistent Refill

    After a weak (incomplete) flush I removed the lid and observed that the tank had not refilled per the Installation Instructions. But it's inconsistent, sometimes the tank refills as specified.

    New Drake – Inconsistent Refill

    Few days ago I noticed the tank refill level on our new Drake varies from flush to flush. It ranges from a half inch or so below the overflow to about an inch lower. When low the bowl doesn’t totally refill and the flush is noticeably weaker. Is this normal?

    High Flange -Thin Wax Ring?

    Just removed what I believe is the original toilet (home built in early seventies) from the main floor bath to install a Drake. Flange and surrounding tile floor are rock solid with zero sign of leaks. Surprised to find the flange is above the finished floor and not screwed to the sub floor...

    1.6 or 1.2 Toto Soiree?

    Except for a Drake, I’m struggling with the same decision, 1.6 or 1.28. My question, if they both work equally well, and are the same price, why would anyone purchase the 1.6? And, if they're functionally the same, why does Toto even offer the 1.6? My drain lines are cast, might that be a...
