Is there such a thing as a 4" exit out of a toilet bowl
My toilet clogs after the goose neck where fecal matter exits into the 4" sewer line. The auger won't go through the bowl and clear the clog at the exit. I'm being told that something's stuck, it sure is and it's not pleasant. Is there a toilet that has a 4" exit hole?

Nope, no toilet with a 4" exit hole....almost all have 2" hole in toilet base.
If the auger snake will not go through the bowl to the exit, I would suggest removing the toilet and setting it on its side to try to snake the drain that way. Snake the toilet from the bowl out and from the toilet bowl outlet back in toward the bowl... make sense? In this way, you should be able to dislodge whatever it is that is stuck in the toilet. Worst case, you can't clear the blockage and you'll need to purchase a new toilet. Try snaking the bowl from both sides... should clear most blockages! Mark |

The 5' auger you are using should work. Be patient. Keep turning the auger while pushing it in in-ward direction. If unsuccessful, dismount toilet form the floor, flip it over and remove obstacle using toilet exit hole.
Today's residential toilets have 2" trap and 2" exit hole. You could install commercial toilet - as suggested above - but I don't think this simple problem you have warrants such a major toilet upgrade. Beside the cost of new commercial toilet, its installation, including modification of existing plumbing system to accept such toilet - is way too costly. These stubborn blockages don't happen too often. If you cannot clear it yourself, call Roto Rooter, and they will clean it for you in no time Hope that helps Milo |

I bought one of these toilet bowl blue cleaners attached to a plastic clip that hangs on the lip of the toilet bowl. This is on a new toilet and the flush water flow was so strong it flushed it down the toilet . The toilet flushes ok but tends to back up a little if paper is flushed. How do I get...
Ok - so many posts here, it's mind blowing. Here's exactly what's happening - tank is filling up just fine... water stopping exactly 1/2" under overflow tube. Flapper is shutting perfectly - no water leaking. It's the bowl water that's messed up. Toilet has been working perfectly for 12 years. ...
What started as a slow toilet, now non flushing except 1-2 times in morning, has turned into a toilet bowl that won't hold water but the tank still does. The tub is first on the line, then the toilet, then 30' to septic tank. Snaked through the vent, got a lot of greasy goo, but still toilet...
Hi Everyone, So I've got two questions regarding two toilets and would appreciate any and all help as I can't afford someone to come in at this point to fix it for me. 1. I managed to drop a crystal (decoration) ball into the toilet which cracked the bowl so a chunk of the porcelain just fell...
Help! I have removed the old ball float from my toilet system and installed a fluidmaster and since I've done that the water coming out of the holes underneath the rim of the bowl literally plopps out of the holes in a straight line and splashes up on the toilet seat and... well if your sitting...
