    This is a skirted Cadet 3. The dual flush version of this toilet is called the Studio but the single flush version (like the one in this video) is called the Cadet 3. This toilet is decent imo. Also if you want to make a 400A fill faster, you can remove the flow regulator from it (Fluidmaster has instructions on their website on how to remove it).

    This toilet flushes much better with the flapper adjusted to empty the entire tank.

    My girlfriend’s house has an American Standard like this in the upstairs main bathroom (it’s the same house as the 2018 Kohler Memoirs that I filmed), and it also replaced a 1999 Sterling Windham. But the Windhams weren’t original either since the house was built in 1988.

    Imagine if you’re a plumber in an apartment and owner wants you to replace all the toilets with this toilet

    I love public bathroom toilets because they are stronger and i love them wallmounted in my opinion i think the other kind i forgot is weird because its standing but its just an opinion

  • @plumbingstuffinoregon2471

    Imagine if it had one of those old fill valves found in UR toilets. That tank would fill up in a matter of seconds!

    Awesome

  • @floridiantoiletsandcompute9449

    It wouldn't be that annoying with the slow fill valve if it was installed because you don't normally flush a toilet multiple times

    My grandma's doesn't flush like that the water stays in the bowl for a second and the n it boosts all of the water down in almost a second and a half

    What’s the best round toilet available today in your opinion? I was sold on the drakes untill I heard about the coating issues and not being able to use bleach

    It is my opinion that the residential terlit crap must end. Everybody needs to have plumbing upgraded for flushometers and commercial terlits. The insanity must end. I grew up with a Modernus on a flushometer in a mixed commercial/residential building. We had 5.0 gpf AS Cadets after that. No problems until this sub 3.5gpf terlit nonsense!

      I like residential toilets better because most of them do their jobs, they are simple to repair, and they are quieter and cheaper

      How is a ~$100+ commercial AS Madera that they're using today w/ ~$150 flushometer cheaper than a residential ~$400 AS tanked Vormax? If I recall, our FV on our Modernus didn't need any servicing during the 30 years we had it. Are they not built well today? Tank or FV, a terlit bowl is a terlit bowl. Nothing special except "features" to drain more money out of wallets. That said, I don't mind paying for the AS "Everclean" glazing if it reduces cleaning. I don't mind paying extra for rimless terlits provided that the low water amount swirl washes the back of the bowl down from piss spatter and 💩 blowout spatters.

      ​@@jbsimmons54 Vormaxes are partially expensive but others normally aren't. I think it would be cool if people got to decide whether or not they had commercial or residential toilets in their houses but tbh, i think tank toilets look and work a lot better in residential settings.

      At 1.28 and now 0.8gpf...??? Flush they do, but there's practically very little bowl rinse as the majority are front flushers. Saw something promising - airplane terlit technology via vacuum terlit with Teflon non-stick finish. Some are already in rest areas with very low water supply and there's YT vids showcasing them. For me, myself, and I, spoiled by a FV and commercial terlit, it's what I'd rather have at 1.6 to 1.28 gpf. The new generation Kingston performs well although I'd also want a swirler. All that said, I'm in favor of buying used commercial swirling terlits designed for 3.5 to 1.6gpf instead of buying new, unless new is definitely a better performer by a long shot.

    Very weird design, and very bad flush.
