Toilet Replacement Lids - Gold found hidden in plane toilet - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

Officials of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in Chennai seized gold bars weighing seven kg, worth Rs. 1.90 crore, kept hidden in the toilet of an aircraft that flew in from Singapore, on Saturday.

Four persons were arrested in connection with the smuggling.

The DRI authorities said they had specific information of a gang trying to smuggle in gold from abroad by concealing it in the toilet of the aircraft.

Following this, the authorities searched the aircraft that came from Singapore. They found packets containing gold bars inside the toilet.

On suspicion, they intercepted two passengers — Syed Abuthahir (23) and Mohamed Azaruden (22) of Chennai — who confessed to smuggling the gold.

The two men also told the authorities that their accomplices — Radhakrishnan (44) and Salahudeen (33) — were assigned to retrieve the gold when the same aircraft flew in the domestic sector later in the day.

The officials arrested all four men and further investigation is on.

Toilet Replacement Lids - Q/A Low-profile toilet may need a flushing assist - This Old Toilet 800-658-4521

The San Raphael is a low-profile, one-piece toilet.

Q. I have an older, low-profile, one-piece toilet I want to replace with a new high-efficiency model. But because the tank height is so low and I have shelving above the tank, I will need to install another low-profile toilet to fit the space. With the combination of a very low tank and the new toilets that use less water, I am concerned about flushing power. I don’t want to take out the shelving, so any ideas on getting a high-efficiency/low-profile toilet with some extra flushing power?

A. This is a very common question for toilets with very low tanks, and assisted flushing technology is available for many new high-efficiency toilets, including low-profile toilets.

The term assisted flush means basically what it sounds like. The gravity flushing power is assisted with some help from another power-generated force. One of the most common assisted flushing systems for toilets is called air-pressure assist. This is where compressed air is stored in a special flushing vessel along with the flushing water. When you press the lever, the compressed air gives the flushing water an extra push that can be very helpful for toilets with a low-profile tank.

Bottom line: With a new assisted-flush, low-profile toilet you can keep your existing shelves in place without shelving the idea of getting a new high-efficiency toilet.
