great video. these were awesome toilets, but I thought these were really just commercial Cadets? so the commercial Cadets were Maderas? The flush valve is located really high above.....strange! How did you find the date on it?
I agree. These were such awesome flushers. I've heard people call these commercial Cadets also, but I'm pretty sure that American Standard called these a Madera. And the date, I'm not 100% for sure, but the building was built in 1991, so I'm almost positive that this is a 1991. You're right, it is odd for the flush valve to be mounted so high.
Usually, toilets with high flush valves are found in hospitals, which is so high up for possible health and sanitation reasons or whatever other reason. It is otherwise quite weird to see a flush valve so high up, though.
This A-S unit is actually a model Cadet 9468.018; originally introduced in 1982. The Sloan Royal valve on this unit is a model 115, which explains the longer vacuum breaker. Best to use an electronic valve such as Sloan's Optima 115 ES-S or Optima Plus 8115.
The bowl height from the floor was 18" initially; this was shortened by half an inch to 17.5" by 1994.

This toilet meets my Edmonds' Code Standards by placing a regular, closed-front toilet seat with cover. This configuration is rare.
