I recently purchased an American Standard Cadet Pro 14-inch rough-in 2-piece 1.28 GPF elongated toilet. The first one that came seemed to have a major defect near the end of the trapway, a hole about 3/4" in diameter. I'm NOT talking about the siphon jet hole in the bowl. I'm talking about if you turn the toilet upside down and look up through the drain hole into the trapway. At any rate, I called American Standard and they said it was a defect, so I returned it and ordered a replacement.
When the replacement came, it had the exact same hole in the same place. So I called American Standard again, and this time they consulted one of their more senior people, and they said it was a "vent hole" and not a defect.
Have people here seen this type of thing before? Do you agree that it's a vent hole? How does it work? Where does it vent to? Thanks for any insight.
