It sounds like you got your hands on a Kohler Cimmaron Class 6 toilet. They had bolts that fit into that bracket at the bottom of that toilet which you would then use to mount to the bowl. Not sure, but maybe generic tank bolts can be used?

You could always donate the toilet to Habitat ReStore who can resell it. There are plenty of Kohler and American Standard toilets that are of regular height (14" bowl height).

It sounds like the toilet could have been cast wrong when it was being made, therefore not creating a vortex/suction when flushing normally. I'd replace it.

That looks like a 12" rough in toilet fitted on an 11" Rough In Flange. Most 12" rough in toilets can fit on a flange 11 inches from the wall. I would be tempted to get a Project Source (Lowes generic brand) $99 ADA toilet. They have slimmer tanks, and are less bulky. They also work very...

That's an old Kohler Sibley. Sibley was the model of the bowl. They flush fantastic! You can buy the elbow and spuds on PlumbingSupply.com

Is it not fitting because of any baseboards or heating units behind the toilet? Many of the newer toilet bowls (Kohler Wellworths) tend to be very close to the wall as a result of the bow redesign.

Try to post some pictures of this. It sounds like a very unusual fixture!

Is the siphon jet in the bowl plugged? The siphon jet is the small hole at the bottom of the bowl that shoots water up into the trapway. If it's plugged with minerals, the bowl will not drain appropriately. To unplug it, just take a small screw driver and scrape out the lime/calcium from the...

It would not surprise me that they are discontinuing these. Overall, they were not good performers, made of thin porcelain, and there have been recalls on the flushmate systems. It looks like the only offer the VorMax Wall Hung toilet. Gerber also offers the Maxwell Wall Hung (which I would get)

That's not a good sign. It looks like whoever installed the toilet might have had leakage issues with the flush valve and re-installed it with silicon caulk. eI would be tempted to look into replacing the toilet with one that uses more conventional parts.

Unfortunately, that toilet is no longer made and I don't believe they make any wall hung toilets in unique colors (other than white, bone, and black). You would have to go with a white replacement. I recommend the Gerber Maxwell Wall Hung toilet. If it is the bowl that is cracked, I would...

This might sound strange, but do you think it could be a dead mouse in the wall? Just recently, a neighbor called me over to replace a seal on her toilet thinking it was broken because the bathroom stunk. Turns out there was some dead rodent that got in the wall behind the toilet. The smell...

That looks like an Eljer Cantebury toilet. Here is the link for parts for it. Unless it is unique to the look/style of the bathroom, I would seriously consider replacing it. Once Piece toilets can be absolutely miserable to fix - hence why not many of them are sold anymore...

Crane Drexel toilets are awesome! You can buy a Crane recessed tank to bowl gasket to put over the flushvalve at places like Ace Hardware. You could also use an American Standard recessed tank to bowl gasket. Does your tank have the built in china overflow tube? Some of the later Crane...

If you do go with the NuFlush, you might want to end up purchasing a high quality, metal handle to put on the tank. I have a feeling that the flapper might be heavier and harder to lift, which could snap a plastic handle.

I'd try the Nu-Flush then. The newer American Standard toilets have an almost identical flush valve in their tanks now.

To be completely honest with you, I'd be tempted to replace all of the toilets entirely over time with toilets that use standard parts. American Standard has redesigned their fixtures to use more "common" parts that actually work better, and the bowls flush better. Here's a good model that is...

A siphon jet is the small hole at the bottom of the bowl opposite of the main drain opening. It shoots water up the toilet drain when flushed. If it gets plugged, the toilet will not flush properly.

That Kohler Highline Pressure Assist will do the trick. They are a very powerful toilet and have an excellent flush.

Is there a siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl? If so, it might be clogged with lime/calcium. Take a small screw driver and scrape out the jet and it should start working like new.
