1979 American Standard Elongated Cadet Toilet Flushes

  • Discovered while "Out and About" during a hotel stay, this is just a plain ol' great American Standard Cadet toilet! Not quite sure why the hotel didn't keep it perfectly-clean, as hotel room toilets are usually kept in pretty good condition due to frequent cleaning. Nonetheless, this fixture exemplifies the beautiful, Cadet flushing, siphoning, and gurgling action that they are known for, while being just a bit on the slower side in terms of swiftness of the overall flush. Enjoy a selection of flushes on this guy, some plain and some with some tissue to demonstrate the bowl's currents during the flush.
    Specific model information: American Standard Cadet 3089.018 bowl (standard height, 12" RI - 2 1/4” ball-pass trapway) coupled with a 4049.052 tank. Model combination designation: Cadet (elongated bowl) - Catalog Number 2108.056. Manufacturer date stamp: Not discovered due to unstable tank connection to bowl. Hotel opened in 1979, so our best guess estimate is this is a 1979 or possible 1978 model.

    This is so satisfying. I love how the water just swirls slowly like that. It's so nice to watch. It's even better when tp is being flushed!

    I potty trained on this model. That sound brings back so many memories.

      zebrashark23 What’s your email?? Please tell me more about yourself being potty trained on that type of model toilet and your experiences while doing it.

  • @restroomselevatorsofflorid2102

    This toilet is super nostalgic to me! I used to watch this video a bunch when I first got into toilets! (Around my 6th birthday. Probably right after.)

  • @thevultrantransituniverse1487

  • @OldSchoolAmericanPlumbing

    I wasn’t around when the ToiletInsider channel was around, but why is it gone now?

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před rokem

      Toilet Insider was created by this channel's founder nearly a decade ago to try to create regular, high-end educational content around toilets on a separate channel. Unfortunately, there were some life changes that got in the way, and after just a handful of videos that were put out, it just didn't live up to the concept. In many ways Project Beyond is actually the next generation of Toilet Insider, but this series will actually go forward and do what couldn't be done back then and much more. Today, while we're now a team, it's very small and much of the production work is still done by the founder. We're wrapping up the channel refresh and our new channel trailer this month, all while finalizing parts and components for Project Beyond to go to production. It's quite a lot of work but incredibly exciting! Sorry for the delays but we're making constant progress toward the "finish line" (figured a football reference would work today lol)

  • @teravolt6113
    @teravolt6113 Před 8 lety

    Water level's pretty high, looks like it could overflow pretty easily if clogged. Wonder if there's a way you can adjust it on American toilets.

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 8 lety +1

      +TeraVolt Yes, but that's how these toilets are designed to work. And, if you flush nearly any toilet that is clogged, there's a good chance it could overflow.

    • @teravolt6113
      @teravolt6113 Před 8 lety

      If you flush a clogged pure wash down European toilet, you'll see the water rise up like a siphonic American toilet would do and then it will mostly unclog by itself due to the water pressure and larger pipes. Merry Xmas

      Capturing Toilets why does it make that weird noise at the beginning of the flush

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 7 lety +1

      This was a specific sound that American Standard toilets made during the 3.5 and 5.0 gpf eras, two special jets at the front of the bowl that directed stuff down toward the "mouth" of the toilet would make those "signature" sounds.

    • @AlabamaElevators
      @AlabamaElevators Před 7 lety +1

      Capturing Toilets newer toilets make it too

  • @johntoilet777

    If this was on a flushometer it would be a Madera.However a Comfort Height would a a Cadet on a flushometer

      @3nzocarter11 Před 3 lety

      Lowes or home depot dont sell this toilet they sell those low flow shit toilets but you can look on ebay or Facebook market place or some restores

  • @jhenry1041
    @jhenry1041 Před 10 lety

    you did not do a tank view but did you still look inside there

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 10 lety

      Nope, as I mentioned in the description, I avoided doing anything with the tank because it was already leaning backward. And my luck is that I would have broken it and caused a flood lol.

    • @jhenry1041
      @jhenry1041 Před 10 lety

      do you think it had tiltvalve

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 10 lety

      I don't think so, the tank release cycle seemed too short for a tilt valve.

    • @jhenry1041
      @jhenry1041 Před 10 lety

      how would the tank flood would it crack or come loose

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 10 lety

      jhenry1041 Please stop asking questions about this. It was in a hotel room and if I had broken it somehow, it would have been charged to my account and that could have been a lot of money. I didn't want to take the risk, plain and simple.

      As designed, yes...but they don't necessarily always use 5 gallons in a flush.

    What is the motivation behind these videos? I'm just curious. Like, do you find toilets interesting, or soothing? Is it sexual? Just wondering.

    • @CapturingToilets
      @CapturingToilets  Před 6 lety +2

      They're quite interesting, it's sort of of an odd fascination, really. Today's camera tech lets me capture these fascinating fixtures in new ways. And, many years and millions of views later, other people also appear to find them interesting.
