We used to have 2 Briggs Altima toilets except the 2 we had were Ferguson Altimas. And they were in our old house back in my home state where I was born in "Lubbock, Texas." Both from 2000. One got replaced because it was cracked pretty bad and it would clog pretty easily. It got replaced with a 2015 Kohler Cimarron. And we still had the last Ferguson Altima from 2000 in our master bathroom. This Ferguson Altima that we still had in our master bathroom worked much better then the other Ferguson Altima and it did its job except we had some minerals in the rim jets at one time. But quickly got that fixed. It wouldn't clog as much, there was pretty good bowl rinse, sometimes it won't siphon but during a 2nd flush, it would siphon. We had to move though because our house flooded with a pipe burst in the dishwasher. And we didn't have the money to keep the house and pay the damages since it was my grandma's house. Not only that, ever since my grandpa died on his birthday November 1st, 1938 - 2013, things have been going horrible lately. Like the dishwasher pipe burst, cleaning up his old office, our walls started growing mold, and more, and the coolest thing is that your Briggs Altima is on my birthyear "2007." I now live in Broomfield, Colorado where it is much more expensive than it is in Texas. Lol. Anyways great tests on this Altima, boy that dish towel clogged that Altima "BAD." I laughed when you tried to unclog the toilet with your foot. Lol. But this Altima is decent and the performance is mediocre. I would give it a 14/20.
I'm gonna say howdy to Norman for helping out and the test on this toilet was at least substantial but I was shocked that it couldn't flush a dish towel down.
@@khatske You're so sweet, I really appreciate that. Yes, I will try to join him for more videos, and maybe I can shoot what happens behind the scenes next time!
Pretty sad as it struggled on the washcloth and clogging on both the washcloth/grocery bag as well as the dishtowel (literally hard clogging so it had to be plunged). It did pass the grocery bag separately. The bowl rinse and clearance is rather good (it's strongest aspects). Below Par Toilet Overall as it seriously struggled on the item tests = 4/10
Washcloth: struggle Grocery bag: mid struggle pass Grocery bag + washcloth: fail Dishtowel: fail + hard clog Dirt: pass Final test results: 23% (pass) Toilets that perform under 10% will fail.
Let’s gooo
Impressed that nearly overflowing it took the bag and washcloth.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa and the house. These don't seem like good toilets though. I've seen tons of toilets from 2007.
Same
Flush rating is a B+
Performance rating is an A
haven’t seen that style of trap way on these before.
I've seen them a couple times. They're common in Florida.
You and your friend did an excellent job testing out that toilet, and the toilet itself wasn't bad at all.🙂
Thanks!
Thanks. Much love
Crazy
Not surprised about the results, but nice collab tho. Oh and that unclogging part where you used your feet is the funniest part here!
Thanks!
Nice altima!! Also amazing collab
Thanks!
Norman
Yep!
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Who is Norman?

@@btlplumbing4728 That's his channel name
this definitely needs a punishment but when tou put your foot in it LMFAO
I'm probably going to dissect it
I'm gonna say howdy to Norman for helping out and the test on this toilet was at least substantial but I was shocked that it couldn't flush a dish towel down.
It clogged HARD on that. I will definitely offer him the opportunity to participate again if the opportunity comes up
Thanks for the support and love of my comment. Have a great day.
Howdy!

It splashed everywhere when you plunged it with your shoe
That was the point lol
Oh well
NOT THE CROCS🤣

I really don't have any desire to keep this type of toilet. It just seems boring and not very good.
Good test
Thanks!
You need to bring Norman in a lot more! He’s funny
I will if he comes over for testing again! Or maybe one day he will start his own channel!
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Soon. Promise.
Weird looking trap way for an Altima. We had two of these in round at an apt I lived in once. They did fine on normal use.
They look like a constant problem, I'm surprised they worked well.
not bad and love the colabs
Thanks!
nice job
Thanks!
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations no problem
That was me applauding the washcloth failing. As you said OCC Plumbing and Restorations, Typical for a Briggs Ultima.
Yeah, I'm probably gonna smash it.
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Agreed 👍💯
@@normanreynolds9889 Oh cool your names Norman too!
@@normanreynolds9889 really saw your channel
Can I collaborate with you please?
Of course! I still have the Edgemeres to upload but we can definitely do a test video together.
You should do some tests with btr plumbing :D
I just might! I have an idea for some already.
I couldn't stop laughing when you put your foot in the toilet.
XD
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations how would you rate the altima on a scale from 1 to 10? I'd say a 4.
@@chuckiegarcia5095 I have no idea, it's very unpredictable.
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations are you going to replace the tank?
@@chuckiegarcia5095 It's double nutted with steal bolts so I'm getting rid of it because I can't get the bolts out and it isn't good enough to sell
Is Norman your assistant
I'd say he was a special guest
It would be better with a glazed trapway
Definitely
What do you plan to do with this toilet?
Dissection
3:50
Who needs a plunger when you have Crocs?
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Do it again when another toilet clogs in your video. And by the way Is Norman your close friend?
Washcloth: struggle
Grocery bag: mid struggle pass
Grocery bag + washcloth: fail
Dishtowel: fail + hard clog
Dirt: pass
Final test results: 23% (pass)
Toilets that perform under 10% will fail.
This one was weird and unpredictable
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations agreed
Over 100% WILL PASSSSSS!!!!!!!
Does this toilet have concealed siphon jets
No, it is entirely powered by the rim.
3:50 😂

3:50 😂🤣🤣🤣
STOMP
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The toilet I have has a way better performance than this toilet😂
It can pass a washcloth and a bag without a struggle
I'm not surprised, these aren't known for being good.
You don’t have to
Don't have to what?
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations you don’t have to send me ur number

Is Norman a fellow toilet enthusiast?
Yep! His comment is pinned
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations Cool!
this toilet is garbage but its not the worst
I agree
Is the tank is getting dissected then the bowl MUST be dissect as well!
