Powder room sink drain to toilet drain connection
Comments (1)It is normal to wet vent a toilet. However, all the locations you go from horizontal to vertical with drainage, you need a sanitary tee, not a vent tee. Vent tees are only suitable for branching a vent off of the stack (above connecting drain lines), splitting a vent for multiple fixtures, or in horizontal piping with the vent going upwards and the drainage running straight through. You should really increase the size of the pipe if merging. That is what I would do if it was my house. Currently I am guessing there is a 3" toilet flange, it should be increased after the flange using a 3" to 4" increaser then use a 4x4x2 sanitary tee then 4" to the stack. Some may consider it over engineering but I would do it so there is not a bottleneck if both are used at the same time. Hopefully your vertical stack is 4". If it is only 3" then the point is moot and you might as well just do a 3x3x2 sanitary tee....See MoreTiny powder room - 59"x38" : need small toilets rec
Comments (36)It is the Alape Bucket sink. The problem is that it sticks out 14.25" from the wall. It is a glazed steel sink with a navy or gray PVC gasket at Rejuvination Hardware. I looked at it, too and decided that the only way to use it would be to drill into the steel to place the faucets. putting them above the backsplash would cause too much splashing, just as Enduring concluded, above. Since it is glazed and not porcelain, I think you could drill the holes without harming the sink. It still would not make it fit this powder room. You have to go read the requirements for space in front of a toilet. I believe that you must have 24" of unobstructed space in front of the entire 30" wide toilet zone. I believe that is why everyone is telling Jade BR that this design will not work for her bathroom. Any side-mounted sink invades that space. If she mounts this sink across from the toilet, it is too big and, again, invades this space. But a sink that does not protrude so far from the wall would not violate the 30" wide zone that comes 24" out from the front of the toilet. Cpartist, am I stating the problem correctly? https://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/alape-bucket-sink-gray-trim...See MoreReplacing accessories for a powder room to go with Kohler composed
Comments (2)There are 83 items on eBay with 'Kohler Composed in their auction/Buy It Now titles. I have bought bath accessories there in the past and saved a small fortune. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xkohler+composed.TRS0&_nkw=kohler+composed&_sacat=0...See MoreDesign help for over-the-toilet cabinet for powder room
Comments (17)@tfitz1006 Did you mean closet, and not shower? We use the closet for jackets, shoes, backpacks, etc. It's a powder bathroom, so no shower at all. You can see the powder room here. The top side is the staircase along the full length. The right side is the garage. The bottom side is the hallway running from the garage to the foyer. The left side is the main floor closet which is tiny because I'm pretty sure there is a wet wall with plumbing behind it where the hot water pipes run from the water heater into the slab for the kitchen plumbing. The powder room is completely boxed in. About the only thing you could do is a small built-in lower cabinet that goes into the slanted area under the stairs, but because the doorway is only 2' and so cramped, it would be more difficult to access, and it allows us to store larger items out of the way in the garage. Given how hard it would be to bend over to access it in the cramped space, this would not be worth the money it would cost. We chose to put our money into the master bathroom and kitchen instead, but this was sort of rolled into it when we learned the kitchen flooring had an issue mid-remodel, and had to pick a floor tile that worked with our old tile, which we weren't going to replace because it covered so much area, including the bathroom. We replaced all of the old tile that was connected with new tile, but we had planned to do the powder room at later date until that necessitated removing the toilet and sink anyway... Got to love the snowballing of a remodel, right?...See MoreAnna Devane

Here's a Kohler install, at 3.30, of their skirted model. This would be trickier on a re-model where the floor is not perfectly level. Also, not all systems are as sophisticated and easy as Kohler

Kohler slick concealed trapway model costs less than fully skirted designs.
