[Shop-talk] Toilets

[Pat Horne]

Ron,

+1 for Toto. When I went looking for a toilet a few years ago I quickly 
ended up looking exclusively at Totos. My first criteria was as large a 
trap as I could find. Second was ADA height. My wife has medical 
problems that are controllable with medications, but they really plugs 
her up to the point where she can plug an old high water usage toilet 
about 50% of the time. Brings a whole new meaning to s**t a brick! With 
the Toto (Drake, I think) it only happens about once a month. I think 
the drake had something like a 2.5" trap, but it may be even larger. 
They also have a larger flapper to let the water out of the tank, I 
think it is at least 3".

If I have to purchase another toilet it will be a Toto with the largest 
trap I can find.

Peace,
Pat
