Flush-O-Matic in residential home?

[john calabro]

Is it possible to use Flush-O-Matic toilets in a regular house?

If not, then why?

Thanks

Ya know, I've wondered the same thing for many years. I hope someone
knows.

I suppose one *could* call the local Flush-O-Matic company and ask,
since I've never, ever seen one in what I'd call a typical residence
it'd be hard to imagine that there's no clear answer to this question
and they'd proceed to try to sell you the first one ever. My best
guess is that it takes more water pressure than homes typically have,
but I'll admit that's a wild guess and would agree that some
establishments one sees them in can't have all that much more
pressure.

The way I understand it, you need at least a 2" water line to supply the
volume of water that a Flush-O-Matic needs. Most homes are supplied
with a 1" or 7/8" line -- just not enough volume.

Hey!! My advice is free. Take it for what it's worth.

Hi, John
To the best of my knowledge, the Uniform Plumbing Code(your local code may
vary) doesn't prohibit flush-o-matic valves in residences, as long as they are
supplied by at least a 1" supply. A call to your friendly plumbing inspector will
tell you the story in your local. Good Luck!

Depends on you supply pipes, water pressure, and local codes. A 1" nominal
pipe size is the smallest allowable per code in San Francisco. You need to get
the advice of a plumber familiar with your local area because he needs to check
the total water usage and piping in your home.

In the 11 years since the original post, John has been wearing
disposable diapers. He will be pleased to finally have the answer.

Can those biodegrade diapers be flushed in these toilets?

I had nuns for teachers in the 1950's when I was a small boy. All I got was abuse. I bark at nuns whenever I see them now. ヽ(•‿•)ノ

Do they have such a thing? I know of a sewer authority that wants to ban the
flushable wipes because they create problems.
