1963 Standard Compton Toilet Flush Tests

[@vintagekohler6085]

Cool tests! The slow motion flush was amazing! I sure liked my 1951 Compton when I had it installed. Performance wise, it worked at least as well as the 46 Cadet and seldom clogged.

@@vintagekohler6085 Thanks! Both my 1952 and Canadian Compton (which I don’t remember the year of right now lol) were great while installed. I’d really like to install a flushometer Modernus some day

@@KDMCPlumbing That would be an amazing combo!

Amazing toilets! It's really interesting how they use the 4049 tank on the older style bowl for a little while. It's also interesting how there are slight differences despite them both looking relatively the same. I have a tank from 1945 that would match your white bowl if you like it, although it has a large chip in the front. That glaze roughness is really frustrating and it has affected quite a number of my toilets. I still haven't found the cause.

@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Thanks! I have a tank from my 2nd gen Cadet that I use for it. Yeah I’m not too sure about the roughness either. I know it can definitely be caused by certain chemicals and by materials harder than the glaze but it’s on so many fixtures that it’s hard to believe everyone is just cleaning their toilets with the wrong chemicals or with really abrasive brushes or something

[@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations]

@@KDMCPlumbing I'm thinking it might be from chlorine or something. I've noticed that it is only below the water line so it has to be something in the water because people scrub all over the sides of the bowl and it doesn't happen anywhere but below the water line.

[@KDMCPlumbing]

@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations That definitely makes sense. Some of my bowls are worn down on the entire inside on the bowl. For those it could also be from hard scrubbing over a long time or a combination with chemicals. But yeah the ones where it’s just under the water line I think have to caused by something in the water

That’s a nice Compton man! Flushes very similar to mine (being from 1961). Video is sharp too I love it!

Nice tests on these! Also, have you seen the new fixtures I’ve gotten recently? This year, I managed to get a 1962 “Standard” Alta, a 1966 American Standard Lynbrook, and a 1956 “Standard” Sanistand, and even a 1991 NOS Kingston WG and some others. I thought of your collection when I got those because you have those as well but made in different years.

[@KDMCPlumbing]

@@aftplumbingofficial I have seen a few of those. Great finds! I’m glad they went to someone that will actually set them up. Most of the time when I get fixtures they sit around for years before I finally get around to testing them lol
