Questions and Answers for TOTO Drake 2-Piece 1.6 GPF Single Flush Round Toilet in Cotton White

A:  I've had the toilet for over a year and never have had a need to use a plunger. But that can mean I have been indoctrinated by government and adopted the flush as you go method. So I have never tested the unit to see if it can take care of flushing the entire event with 1.6 gallons. It's usually more like 3 to 6 gallons.

A:  Hello big2, TOTO toilets must pass very rigorous flush performance standards that are greater than the industry standards. We flush test very large volumes of media to simulate waste. Although you've provided no actual dimensions, we feel sure that the media we flush is comparable to what you believe is an Olympic size portion of waste. We hope that you will give it a try and we thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  I am sorry, but the International Olympic Committee does not list a specification (diameter and length) for your topic of interest.

A:  You have to put an adapter on the sewer pipe to hold the wax and then the bolts go into the adapter or into the floor.

A:  Hello, the Drake Two-Piece Toilet installs as any other standard toilet. Simply set the wax ring and then place the toilet onto your floor flange. Secure the toilet to the floor with flange bolts. The wax ring and bolts required to mount the toilet to your drain will need to be purchased separately. You can review the installation guide found on the product page for more detailed information. I hope this helps answers your question and thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  No. It’s standard height.

A:  Hello, This model Drake has a rim height of 14-5/8 inches from the floor. This height is not considered TOTO's Universal Height (comfort height). Please look for models with an F in the model number, indicating a rim height of 16-1/8 inches, or an L, indicating 16-1/2 inches. Adding the separately sold seat will provide additional height. I hope this is helpful and thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  I am only 5’3” so it is fine for me. It is a little low for my 6’6” husband.

A:  It is about 15 inches high - not comfort height.

A:  No. Not this specific model. You will need to pay more to get the (same) model in comfort height. Call TOTO I am sure they can help.

A:  Yes. I’m 5’4” and I hate dangling. This works well for me.

A:  The Toto Drake 2-Piece GPF Single Flush Round Toilet is the most appropriate height for both my wife and myself. It's much easier to lift two lighter pieces when installing the toilet, than lifting a single piece toilet. I'm on Trustees at our church, and we have installed six in the main building, and another eight in our child care center building. Even the young children ages 5 and older use them with out difficulty. We use an amended smaller seat on some of the toilets in our child day care.

A:  Hi Amp, We use a 5/16-18" Brass Hex Nut for the Drake 2 Piece 1.6 GPF toilet. We would highly recommend purchasing a full TOTO Mounting Kit to ensure the correct measurements and items. For this toilet, our mounting kit item number is #TSU01D and will come with the correct nuts and all other mounting items for possible future use. We recommend the TOTO mounting kit because if you were to buy the correct size nut but in the wrong material you could potentially have problems in the future; including corrosion for example. The nuts are very inexpensive parts but if they cause damage because they are not correct, it could lead to serious and expensive complications. I hope this helps and thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  5/16 inch coarse thread

A:  The bolts use a 5/16-18" Brass Hex Nut.

A:  No, the Drake is available in a 12-inch rough-in only.

A:  Hello, The Drake is available in a 12 inch rough-in only. TOTO does make a few skirted models that can be adapted with a 14" adapter. The toilets that use TOTO adapter TSU01W.14R are the Carlyle II, Carolina II, and Vespin II. The toilets that use TOTO adapter TSU03W.14R are the Eco Guinevere, Aimes, Legato, Eco Lloyd, and Eco Soiree. I hope this helps and thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  No, this model does not have an insulated tank.

A:  Hello, This version of the Drake is not insulated. For an insulated version, please look for models with a D in the model number. Try CST743SD for the same version plus an insulated tank. I hope this helps and thank you for choosing TOTO!

A:  Hello PortCityMom, Cotton White is TOTO's brightest while Colonial White will be a bit softer. They are very close and you almost cannot tell the difference unless they are side-by-side. If you'd like to compare colors you can get a set of swatches to see them in person. Please contact our Technical Support team for help in getting these swatches. They can be reached at techsupport@toto.com or call 1-888-295-8134 between 8am - 8pm EST Mon-Fri and press "4" when prompted. We also have live chat on the TOTO USA website. I hope this helps and thank you for choosing TOTO!
