This is sort of a strange question. Is there any reason a Promenade 1.28 gpf tank won't work with a Drake II 1.28GPF bowl?
I ordered a Drake II off a prominent website that sells toilets. The toilet arrived today. While looking at it a few minutes ago, I realized I received Drake II bowl and a Promenade tank. Both of these are 1.28 gpf models, but the Promenade has a significantly lower map rating (800 vs 400) and some of the in-tank parts have different part numbers. I assume the major difference in the map ratings is because the Drake II has the dual cyclone bowl design while the Promenade has their "Emax" flushing system. Both have 3" flush valves.
But, the house we just bought was built in the 1920s, so the more ornate trip lever and lid design on the Promenade would actually fit in well with our home's trim. Normally I would raise heck with the seller and get this fixed without a second to spare, but the tank and bowl don't clash, cosmetically. I'm just worried about any functional issues. If they'll work together fine, cosmetically this isn't an issue. If they won't work, I'll contact the seller and get this fixed.
What say you?
