Hey there, it's your host James Piecowye, bringing you another insightful episode of our We Will Fix It podcast short! This time around, Colin Thomas and I get our hands dirty (not literally!) and dive into the nitty-gritty of toilet connections. 🛠️💧




In this episode, we've got something you don't want to miss! We're talking about a common yet overlooked aspect of home plumbing: the toilet connector. This unassuming piece of hardware can cause big trouble when it fails, especially in hot climates where the rubber seals can crack and break over time.🔥




We also discuss the interesting observation I made about an old elbow joint and how its placement could potentially impact your sewage pipe. We ponder over the need to raise the joint a smidgeon - a quarter of an inch maybe - for a smooth flow. 🤔💭📏




What's more, there are three different styles of toilet connectors: the straight one, the slight offset, and the big offset one. You need to know which one fits your needs perfectly and we keep them all handy in our van. 🚐🧰




Oh, and don't get me started on the irony of having to schedule another visit just because the hardware wasn't replaced when the toilet was. If you're replacing the toilet, why not replace the hardware that goes with it, right? 🚽🔄
