    Most of the time by the time I get there(30 or so) I can barley push on the flush arm to let water fill the bowl just a half an inch before it overflows and the pressure of the water pushes the clog down. :D If not when I snake it, it will.

    Gotta keep in mind that copper is hella expensive... About $12-$18 for 10 feet of copper! Thats I believe for 1/2" copper 3/4" is even more :eek: So you are looking for a lot just in materials...

    It is super hard to give accurate estimate over the internet. I would have to know how many feet of copper I would need, size of copper, how many joints would need to be soldered, etc...

    Honestly copper is super easy to solder. You have to follow few basic things... Rough each end with sand paper or roughing tool, apply flux on both ends to be soldered, heat up with MAP gas or acetylene (I don't use propane it is not as hot as MAP or acetylene) and apply solder all around... The number ONE rule of soldering copper is NO water CAN be in the line. If there is water in the line you wont get a clean connection and it WILL leak! To stop water use JET SWEAT and solder in a ball valve or use compression ball valve...

    This. ^^^^^ Copper where I am is 3$ a foot. That's what I'm charging at least. Since he's in FL. That's if there using copper. Might be pex or something else. Which we don't use up here. I've seen houses in warmer climates of Cali that are full PVC everywhere. Whole house. So like stated above my quote would probably be off for your location. Maybe a plumber from FL will chime in.

    All pipes from incoming water line to final waste line.

    Can you convert a home toilet to be like a rest stop toilet?
    I mean no tank just the all in one valve setup. If so do you know it runs?
    Thanks

    Tired of dealing with leaking tanks. I was just wondering if a direct flush or some other option was available. I have one toilet that I have used 2 kits on and it still leaks between the bowl and the tank.

    you can you just have to buy the bowl which is about 80-100 and the flush valve which runs 100 and you would have to run a 3/4 water line to the toilet a regular residential toilet only has a 1/2 line but it is doable

    You would be better off to buy a pressure assist toilet.
    It gives you the performance of a flush valve toilet but no additional plumbing necessary. Chances are, you don't have the 1" water line coming in to your bathroom that is necessary to operate a toilet flush valve.
