The standing-room-only version lists 1 Gpf/3.8 Lpf, which most males
spend several minutes a day intently studying.

Subject: [USMA:27878] Some toilets have metric indications


Just returned from Home Depot (the holiday madness is on) and noticed
that at least one manufacturer of toilets (Glacier Way, I think?) lists
the minimum pressure to be used in both metric (first!) and English. The
metric symbol is written as "kpa" instead of "kPa", but otherwise it's
nice to see at least one instance of metric usage in that department.

Of course, the tank capacity is listed by most manufacturers as "1.6
gpf/6.0 lpf", but at least the metric indication is there, too.

P.S. I tried to find "Glacier Way" online to recommend they start
printing "kPa" instead of "kpa", but I couldn't find them. (Another good
thought flushed down the drain! :-(
