    Staying on Topic

    God forbid I should ever be critical, but .... It is my observation that MOST people come here for helpful advice and information. Without calling out specific posters, we have a mathematician, an engineer and a Toto salesman who consistently stray way off, causing additional posts to the...

    Cast Iron to PVC Drain

    I am removing all of the old 4-inch cast iron sewer pipe in my house and replacing with PVC. Is 3-inch PVC adequate, or should I keep it at 4? I have a kitchen sink, dishwasher, clothes washer and two bathrooms. Thanks in advance!

    Interested in various opinions -- Pro Plumber and Consumer

    My New Toilets

    I just replaced my three toilets and decided to go with a variety. I am pleasantly pleased with all three. I got the American Standard Champion 4 one-piece right-height elongated, the American Standard Vormax Optum, also right-height and elongated, and the AquaSource $99 comfort height...
