Hi all.

Is the supply connection to toilet ballcocks and fill valves a standard size? Are there or were there different sizes over the years?

I have a 1960s American Standard and I need to make up a test hose so I can supply it with water outside to work on it.

I'm just going to leave it at that. :P.

Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    It's a strange size: 7/8" IPS
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab

    WC riser flex tube would give you a transition from 3/8" compression to WC connection.

    I'm assuming they're all the same size then?

    Even a 1940s setup? Commercial (non-Sloan) and Residential?
