flushometer

I am hoping to replace my current toilet with this salvaged 1930s Kohler toilet. My current toilet is a rear spud flushometer, but the salvaged Kohler toilet is a top spud. The water supply line is 21 ¼” above the floor. The toilet has a height of 15”. Unfortunately, with a top spud toilet, this...

Hello, I live in a NYC prewar building. Recently our flushometer toilet started leaking in (internally, no water outside, just heard dripping) the flushometer assembly. We had a plumber come in and he recommended replacing the whole flushometer assembly. We live in a co-op and I don't do...

Hi, I moved into a prewar building in NYC built in 1939. The plumbing was very old and I had to renovate the bathroom. This year in late July the building had to replace the risers from the 6th floor to the 2nd. I'm on the 5th floor. Originally I had a flushometer toilet, and I think all...

Recently, I hired a contractor, who renovated my kitchen, to renovate my bathroom in my mid-rise New York City apartment. My building was built in 1925. He did a great job on the kitchen, and overall, a great job on the bathroom, but his plumber left behind two eyesores that I cannot get him to...
