It sounds like our Standard Cadets of that generation here in America. And the water sloshes a bit before the gurgle at the end like ours, too. The trapway in the bowl is shaped differently though. And our toilets exit into the floor instead of the wall (unless they're wall-hung).

What an AMAZING find

Thanks :) It's the first video of one that's installed and in use, although user 'Ideal Shanks' has one in blue in his collection which he has a video of :)

Yesssss!!!!! That is amazing! Thank you for going out and getting this legendary toilet :D Ah, It had a part 1 before :( I heard it stuttering away. And the cistern replacement is deffo good imo. I've replaced the cistern on the Armitage Ware close coupled from the hotel due to subsiding cracks with a Standard Sanway one.

Cheers, I wanted to go here for years. Had a feeling it used to have a part 1 :/ and for some weird reason they swapped the side the ballcock is on too, so now it's squashed awkwardly on the left hand side of the cistern

This is absolutely AMAZING as just yesterday I was watching a video from the United States with a 50's/60's Standard Cadet (in pink) featured also - a US spec version with bottom pan outlet and left side cistern flush handle. This is such a rare find to find a British Spec version with horizontal pan outlet and best of all it works just like the American one - just with the water swirling 'Clockwise' and no siphon jet hole in bottom of pan! Bit of a shame the cistern is not original but it works well though! Hope this one stays as it is so rare now!

Cheers :) I'm sure this is here to stay since the owners of this place actually installed these from salvage, they're not originally from this building :)

So they also made that toilet base thing for it too... Great flush on the Classic Cadet.. This brand managed to bring 2 common US toilets to UK adhering to UK standards here..

Yeah it's a custom made plinth, due to the outlet being lower than our usual toilets.

Now that’s insane!! An absolute gem of a find! Though it is a shame that the cistern is not original, very lucky of them to have found such a suitable alternative.

This sanitary room creates an ambivalent impression. On the one hand, the use of plumbing fixtures from the 50s, and even the original pink color, produces a pleasant aesthetic sensation. But, on the other hand, some questions arise regarding functionality. We see a shower stall equipped with a hot and cold water mixer. Consequently, water comes from the shower head at an acceptable temperature for washing. At the same time, the sink is equipped with separate hot and cold water taps. There seems to be some contradiction in this. It is clear that such equipment of the sink is a tribute to the traditions of Great Britain. It is probably not very convenient to use such a sink in a practical sense. You need to plug the drain hole with a stopper, then fill the sink with water at the required temperature, operating two taps, and only then use it. Moreover, you will have to wash with water that has already been used for washing. The only thing such a sink is convenient for is washing small items of clothing, such as panties or socks. Another consideration concerns the toilet. The entire toilet bowl is filled with water. It turns out that during use, when solid excrement falls into this bowl, a splash of water occurs. It can be unpleasant and unexpected when delicate and sensitive parts of the body are suddenly splashed with cold and dirty water from the toilet bowl. In general, many technical questions arise.

The separate taps on the basin come from when buildings hot water supplies were fed from a tank, meaning it was non-potable, so they kept the taps seperate from the cold potable feed. In general by the time you've washed your hands the water isn't too hot to touch, depending how good the boiler is and how far from it the tap is. Also the splash of water from the high water level, if had my ass splashed by washdown toilets just as much haha

A very rational explanation. If the incoming water, for example, is hot and cold, have different pressure, then the use of the mixer can be difficult. It is clear that you can wash your hands or face in such a situation without any difficulty. In general, I understand how it is arranged and applied. The splash of water in the toilet, no doubt, is undesirable. I had seen the toilets constructed in such a way that everything falls on a special horizontal surface, located above the water level. Then the stream of water is already washing the material in the sewer. This is practical, for example, in order to be able to take tests. Such toilets were called medical.
