This toilet was install in late 80's, any idea what model? Also I would like to replaced it, what would be the equivalent brand so I don't have to redo the plumbing. What would be the height measurements?

The toilet is in good shape, it is flushing slow now- it's not plugged- any help would be appreciated it.

Floor mount rear outlet bowls are roughed about 4" above the floor. They make a rubber seal for that, or a reinforced wax seal that should say on the box that it works with a wall installation. Most wax rings don't work for that.

Never seen this toilet before, what does it dump into a tee?

I''m not sure- the vent is enclosed in the wall and the pipe conection exits to the rear exterior wall. The conection was done like this because the sewer- line cannot go any lower.

Thanks again for all your help. I was ready to order the Harvey #2 no seep reinforce seal, but noticed they have number #3 that seems that it is a better quality, What do you recomend, # 2 0r # 3? Are these gaskets sold only through the internet? Thanks again.
