Just discovered that some toilets have glazed trapways ,,, and some don't. Called a major retail seller and he said "Yeah, it makes a big difference in how often you have to plunge / snake a toilet !!" So why is it most toilets , in most showrooms of modern bath fixtures, do not identify this valuable feature ?? Also the trapway diameter, which seems to vary a little/ less than a inch ? And the seat height in inches should be plainly visible for comparison shopping.
A very honest (i know, rare, huh?) plumber told me some pre-WWII galvanized pipe is still as corrosion free as it was new. That's 70 years. Yet some modern manufacturers make 'paint thin' galvanized that does not even last 10 years !! How does the Plumbing Industry get away with this substandard material sold as 'quality' ??
Look at the juncture of the rain gutter and the downspout. Behind that is a much smaller cylindrical pipe that blocks to flow of small leaves and flowers , leading to plugged and over flowing rain gutters and possibly damaged walls and roofs !!
What an Industry !!
