  • Why is the Toto Drake the best flushing toilet in the world? Because Toto paid me to say that. Just kidding. Seriously though, the Toto Drake is the best flushing toilet because of how they made the siphon jets. You'll understand when you see it in the video. I'd have the Toto Drake will last longer than standard toilets because it doesn't have small little siphon jets on the underside of the toilet.

    I had an old Delta 1.28 gpf. The flush power was pretty power. I bought American Standard Cadet 3 toilets. They are a very huge improvement. Great bowel rinse and flush power.

      I have a delta prelude. They are great. The American standard vormax will be my next one.

    Hi I have been installing Toto toilets for over 15 years. I noticed how you installed the bolts through the holes in the tank. First I install rubber washer on the bolt, no washer on the inside of tank. Then install the bolts through the tank. On the underneath slide a washer then a nut. Then tighten the nut to the tank using deep socket. I noticed you put the washer in the inside of tank. One washer should be between the tank and bowl and the other set under the bowl. This secures the bolt to the tank before securing tank to bowl giving a more solid connection between tank and bowl. I noticed you had a extra set of nuts at the end. The instructions I think show this process. I have never had to plunge a Toto toilet in 15 years. They are great

      Nice man. Not busting your balls but the rubber washers 100% go inside the tank. A metal washer won't make a seal. It's like a fill valve, rubber washer goes in the tank

      @@pershingplumbing9007 I understand the rubber washer goes on the inside. You installed the metal washer over the rubber washer inside the tank. The metal washer with the nut secures the bolt to the tank between the tank and bowl. This is why they supply 4 washers and 4 nuts. The other pair of washers and nuts goes under the bowl. I like they way Toto secures the bolt to the tank before your secure tank to the bowl. The tank doesn't wiggle as much. Also less apt to develop a leak over time.

      While it's definitely not how Toto expects the tank bolts to be attached there's no reason it won't work as almost every other toilet does it this way.

      I agree , it just makes the tank more stable and less apt to leak in the future. Also I think the rubber washer seats better with a nut and washer on the bottom of the tank. @@dirksteinn

      Yes the bolt the rubber washer through the tank then flat washer then nut tighten then install tank on bowl then another washer and nut , if you put the washer on then the rubber washer water can leak between the metal washer and bolt even though the rubber washer is against the tank.n

    Just installed two Drakes in as many months in my home - both flushing like champs so far; both the flush and refill is fast. A different plumber installed each one and both plumbers, unprompted and coincidentally, said "that's a nice toilet" after the install was done. Hoping they are right and the naysayers on the interwebs are wrong...

    The japanese sure know a thing or two about pooping. I've got two Totos and can confirm these bad boys can flush. One of them handled 4 matchbox sized cars in one go 🤣

    I always use a ratchet and deep well sockets for toilet bolts, tank and closet. I use 5/16 closet bolts and cut them with a cordless Dremel tool. I never use the plastic snap on for closet bolt caps, but use plumbers putty instead.

    I promise you It doesn’t flush as good as a vintage American standard toilet. I have a 1957 American standard Compton that flushes way better than a TOTO drake.
