Talking "This One Is Not Made From Toilet Flanges"

"These are made of the finest German materials including a siliconized joint."

Didn't Normy do this originally, with Mercedes air tubes?

Dave Lomas came up with those a couple of years ago. They are nice and work beautifully. They are also a really nice looking addition. I had him make a few set for me. There is someone on E-bay selling ones that look to use plumbing stack couplers. We had a few sets left over so we stuck them on e-bay.

However, if you get in a real pinch and your cast iron stack rots out, ours will not save your basement like the other ones either. I gues it is give and take.

Ha Ha!

drnick,

Well, they do have twice the number of "Pleasure Ridges" compared to the stock tubes.

I read the last exchange again. It was at least as funny as the first time.

Andy K,
perhaps you ougfht to change your signature, given the way these threads are going - "soon to be twin screwed" is getting a bit suggestive ... :-)

Neato! Do you have any size other than small?
