    chrome toilet paper roll holderWhere to find a new tissue roller for your old toilet paper holder? Reader Janet finds — and gives her quality stamp of approval to — this replacement part:

    Janet writes:

    Old TP holders are often missing their rollers. The “chrome” ones in stores and online are almost always chrome over plastic. Yuck. I found a real chrome over steel replacement roller at the local Ferguson Enterprises plumbing supply house (where the professional plumbers go). They looked it up in their catalog and ordered it. Cost was well under $10. Part number appears to be CSI3CH and the description on the invoice says “contw paper roller plstc chr”, which implies plastic, but it isn’t plastic.

    Readers, I typed the part number into google and came up with:: “Moen CSI3CH  paper roll”.  Can you bear how exciting this blog gets sometimes? 😉

        Hmmm…. I don’t know the answer to the question about whether “CSI…etc” refers to a chemical composition or … just a SKU name. Google to get to the company and/or a retailer who can give you additional info. Good luck.

          Is the CSI3CH toilet paper roller made of plastic or made of metal with a chrome finish. And is it available?
