1989 American Standard Cadet toilet

[sgrahn66]

this looks strange in the trapway, never seen anything like it in my life..

These aren't rare actually, the last version of cadet before it went low flow.

Happy birthday to your toilet. LOL

[Fun4Toilets]

this is probably 1993

[mrKRW]

That's impossible; the toilet tank indicates that it was made on April 23, 1989.

[gusherb94]

April 23rd is my moms birthday. lol

[mrKRW]

Might as well bake her a cake modeled after this toilet, lol.

[Fun4Toilets]

lol ok

[meeloothekid]

I have the same one. I don't know any one else that has one they are so rare.

[mrKRW]

Well now you found out about someone else who has this rare toilet :).

[sanders8323]

These were actually in place before my work remodeled the bathrooms in '07. They were '92 models. They've now been replaced with the Cadet 3s shown on my channel.

[sanders8323]

I've experienced this toilet. It's definitely the worst flushing Cadet they make aside from the low flow models.

[mrKRW]

This one's not that bad

[sanders8323]

True. They actually still make this toilet in Canada since 3.5 gpf is still legal there.

[mrKRW]

So you're saying that this toilet uses 3.5 gallons of water per flush?

[sanders8323]

Yes

[mrKRW]

Thanks :)

[flushboyaz]

awesome toilet........definitely a great flush and nice ending!!

[gusherb94]

hmm looks like american standard managed to make a non sluggish elongated model at the end their. it flushes like the 1980s gerber's did.

[thesmart67]

Not a mismatch at all - both tank and bowl were made for a short time from around 1989 to 1993-94. When federal mandates called for 1.6 gpf, Am Std had to come up with a different Cadet. And there have been several that were terrible.

[thesmart67]

It is the short-lived Cadet toilet common from about 1989-93 before the 1.6 gpf mandate came in from Uncle Sam. It is not a mismatch.

[mrKRW]

Not a mismatch you say? Well, I guess I must have a pretty obscure toilet, according to you. You're also saying this is a 3.5 gpf?

[ramdomness453]

1989 - 1 year away from the 90's, they obviously just printed their "new" logo on it, wouldn't say it's mismatched. Plus logo's can be different to the cistern ones at times.

[mrKRW]

So you're saying the logo on the bowl might be from the late 80's?

[ramdomness453]

Yep

[mrKRW]

Interesting, considering I've only seen the red, vertical American Standard calligraphy on models from the 90's. But still, I feel something here is mismatched, whatever it might be.

[ramdomness453]

Could be the models, but also another possibility is that that bowl is replaced, and the cistern is original. I've seen it happen here.

[mrKRW]

Exactly! I remember from when I was a kid, we had a really crappy (no pun intended) toilet. So we had it (maybe) partially replaced but kept the tank.

[toiletfanextreme]

Very interesting.. I think you are right and its just mismatched.
