Sorry..just wanted to ask one more question...as Plumingods helped me out with the last one...

Can someone tell me how the water leaking into the bowl from the overflow will go right out the drain? Is there some type of mechanism that regulates how much water is in the bowl and drains the rest?

Just curious ...as this is not in my line of work!

The bowl is just basically an upside down "U" (not really, but thats how it works). So as the bowl gets more water in it, it flows out the other side down the drain.
