I like your videos i'm french and i like this toilet. it requires a drain with a diameter of 75 or 80 mm. This system works very well and was very common between 1950 and 2000. However, it is becoming increasingly rare today as many people are replacing them with standard wall-hung or pedestal WCs. For the syphon to work, water has to rise to the rim of the bowl to fill the s-shaped syphon with water and create pressure in it. When the hole at the bottom of the bowl is no longer completely filled with water, the air passes through, leaving behind a layer of water that represents the syphon. Can you make more videos of this toilet?
Also, on their website they sell a variant that is specifically for floor drains. I wonder why they had to get the free mounted version and then connect it to the ground
@@ToiletStory That's interesting to read. I really quite like our older toilets from the U.K. and they flushed properly for the most part and the refills sounded great to.
@@ToiletStory Not so rare, in fact very common in HLM en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLM special thing with these toilet, is that the outlet is only 80 mm instead of 100mm for all other. So when you have to build thousand of house, the use of smaller pipe is cheaper. Even if now very old, they are from the 70's they can operate when well tuned with only 5.5L of water. These toilet can work perfectly if not modified or clogged. Modified : Some people while overhaul the room, replace the specific "tulip" shaped ceramic piece you can see at 0:08 by a standard pipe. But the siphonic effect is made by the shape, so they don't work anymore. Clogged : if the flush is run each time, no problem, but if pee stay in to spare water, the pee build up inside the tulip, after this the siphonic can be lost and require multiple flush. Extra bonus feature : "integrated instant leak detection" !! As the water level rise if there is any leak either from the inlet float or the outlet rubber, you can't miss a leak, sparing a lot"s of water ! Now there is no more of them for new build as they're can't do small/big flush (3/6L) but just thing they use half the water of their contemporary I really thought they're still great. Bad thing, to better the siphonic effect is the noisier they are and some can be really good at syphoning, waking up the house at night. And as they don't sold at DYW store, a lot's of people didn't know where to find parts, even if still available, just because they don't think it can be available www.porcher.com/produits/catalogue/wc/cuvettes/p2330 at the time all rainbow colours was available Congrat for found the name !
@Supcharged They had siphon jet to boost the syphon action. The turnip shape or said as "bulb trap" is different than american standard siphonic style toilet.
I like your videos

I'm not a huge fan of button flushes, but this siphonic is neat. Decent sized trap I notice.
I do not like push buttons either, but we do not have handle flushes in Europe expect from Malta and UK
@@ToiletStory That's interesting to read. I really quite like our older toilets from the U.K. and they flushed properly for the most part and the refills sounded great to.
is it normal that the water goes so high in the toilets, filling it up ? It almost looks like it's going to overflow
Yep it is the way it flushes, the pipe need a strong gallon of water to create a vacum pression
@@ToiletStory hum weird. Ok thanks !
Awesome that it's siphonic.
Syphonic toilets are extremly rare in Europe, but this model is a French version of this.
@@ToiletStory I wouldn't be surprised about the rarity.

@@lapub. I still don't understand why americans can manage to get their siphonics to use 4.8L just fine but europeans cant.

Is importing from america the only real way to get a siphonic toilet in europe?
This is made by Porcher a French brand, not imported from USA
@@ToiletStory Do you know if other european countries also offer any siphonic bowls?
What Cafe is this?
This is in the downtown of NICE, the cafe is called "Le Grand Cafe de Lyon", which was like a bistro/bar/coffe shop.
What a rarity!
This is the only syphonic model you can find in France nowaday
