Identify Toilet Manufacturer

Which toilet brand has the logo of a lion/dragon?

Hello, I've been trying to remember a toilet brand which has the logo of a lion/dragon (like you might see on a coat of arms) and the brand name sounds like a rich persons name (rockafeller, Pendleton, Rothschild, or something like that). Any ideas?

Sorry if this seems banal but I've been racking my brain and scouring the internet and haven't had any luck. 2024-08-11 by Riley Robinette

@Riley Robinette,

I will be glad to do some research to see what I can find.

You might want, meanwhile, to take a look through the master list of toilet brands and logo images at our home page for this topic

TOILET MANUFACTURERS & SOURCES

https://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Toilet_Manufacturers_Sources.php

That's where I'm going to start my search as well.

Follow up:

@InspectApedia Publisher, Thanks! There's a public bathroom an hour away that has the toilet brand that I'm thinking of, next time I head out there I'll post an update unless you find out first. I checked the manufactures page but didn't find what I was looking for.

Reply:

@Riley Robinette,

That's great. Take at least two photos, one a sharp close up of the logo and two a photo of the whole toilet.

In addition to those, if it's easy for you to do so, lift the tank lid and look inside of the lid itself for any numbers or text and photograph those.

It goes without saying but I'm saying it anyway, take care not to drop and break the lid.

Then look inside the tank on its inner walls for numbers or text and photograph those as well.

Sinclair toilets

Update on mystery toilet!

I posted here a little bit ago about a brand of toilets that I was having trouble remembering the brand name of. That name is Sinclair (it came to me last night), I'm not sure how I could forget such a weighty name like that but oh well, I've only ever seen the brand in one building in my entire 26 years of living in this city. I wish I could provide more information about the toilets but I have not been to that building in a while, I'm having trouble finding info about them online but I'm sure you are a wiz (ha!) at this.

The only thing that made Sinclair as a name stick in my mind in the first place was that I thought it was funny that a manufacturer would put a surname on something you pee on, it seems like a bad decision. 2025-01-02 by riley

Reply:

@Riley,

Thanks so much for the update.

It would be very helpful if you could give me the country where you remember Sinclair toilets being installed or manufacturing, and by identifying which city you mean when you say "this city".

For example, in the UK we have Sinclairs Ceramics (https://sinclairsonline.co.uk) who have a very long history but that may not be your Sinclair toilet's country.

WC toilet logo manufacturer?

Thank you for the question and photo, that's a toilet brand logo that I haven't seen.

It may help us research looking for the company if you can tell me the country where this toilet is located and if possible the age of the building or of the toilet installation.

I am in southeast U.S. I have no idea of the age of the toilet, but it's in great condition. I purchased this 100 year old home 5 years ago, but I know this bathroom was a later addition. I need a new flapper, but the universal 2 and 3 inch models are not compatible.

WC logo on toilet (C) InspectApedia.com

Reply:

@Melanie,

This has been a great challenge, so thanks. The difficulty in tracking down the manufacturer of "WC" brand toilets is that the two initials, WC, themselves mean "water closet" - a synonym for "toilet" in most English speaking countries. So searching by text doesn't work. I did a reverse image search for the WC logo on your toilet but Google didn't find any instances of it.

I can tell you from the flush volumes given, that it's a modern toilet. Happily that means that any part that you need to repair or replace can be bought from any plumbing supplier in a generic form that ought to work perfectly well .

We'll keep your WC toilet logo image and this discussion on this page, will look further, but perhaps also we may hear from another reader who knows its producer.

@InspectApedia Publisher,

@Anonymous,

Since your toilet was probably installed by a local plumber who uses a nearby supplier, check both of those sources too.

Yes, Kohler has a broad line of commercial bathroom plumbing fixtures and controls such as Kohler

How to identify model # of a 1964 Eljer toilet

Trying to identify model # of a 1964 Eljer toilet. Only imprint in the tank is 2020 LJ, with the bottom of the L crossing the middle of the J. Doesn't match any Eljer model numbers I can find. Trying to find parts...looks like the "Hygeian" model. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 2021-02-21 by Ed

Reply: Eljer didn't stamp their model numbers in their tanks that early on

@Ed, Eljer didn't stamp their model numbers in their tanks that early on. They stamped all sorts of other stuff including patent numbers, but not their 7-digit model numbers, unfortunately. You kind of have to go with the outer looks and compare the inner parts to see if you have a match.

Fortunately, unless they have weird-looking parts, standard fill and flush valves will (usually) work. Source: 14 years at a plumbing supply house.

Reply: identify toilet brand and model

Linda

Unfortunately with just a toilet model number 9516604716 and no other information at all, I'm unable to identify your toilet brand and model.

In fact I suspect that the number you gave, 9516604716, is not a toilet model number nor toilet brand identification but instead may be a date of manufacture: 1995, day 166, serial no 04716 - but that's just a guess.

How to identify a toilet brand and model

Take a look inside the toilet tank on the tank sides, and inside the toilet tank lid, and also on the toilet base near the seat hinges,
then tell us

the country, city and age of home where the toilet is installed

and

attach photos (one image per comment) of any additional markings such as in the spots I suggested.

Linda toilets

I have a biscuit colored toilet marked " 1989 " and " 0 LINDA bl " inside the tank. I need to find out who is the manufacturer and possibly the model number? Please help. 2017-09-14 by Trisha

Reply:

Trisha,

The "Linda" toilet brand is an Ideal Standard toilet, or properly named

Ideal Standard Linda Close-Coupled Toilet

Linda toilets were sold in the U.K. including in the 1980's as your toilet date indicates.

I was absolutely dismayed to see that replacement toilet seats for the Ideal Standard Linda toilet can cost over £100 to £200 in the U.K.

Keep in mind that many toilet parts can be replaced with standard issue equipment and do not need to be manufacturer specific. There are also toilet seats at a much lower price that have adjustable hinges to fit various toilet models.

The contact information for Ideal Standard has been added to TOILET MANUFACTURERS & SOURCES.

How do I tighten a Mirabelle toilet seat

I have a Mirabelle toilet. The seat is loose. Can anyone tell me how to tighten. Can't locate a place to tighten the cover...thanks. 2025-03-02 by mike

Reply:

@mike,

The toilet seat hinge bolts vary a bit by manufacturer - post a photo showing the top and bottom of your hinge and I can be more specific. Otherwise we are not sure just which toilet seat is installed on your Mirabelle toilet.

Below I will include a sketch showing the Mirabelle toilet seat attachment parts and installation procedure.

And you should download this copy of the MIRABELLE TOILET INSTALLATION MANUAL [PDF]

https://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Mirabelle-Toilet-Installation-Instructions.pdf

as although it's provided by Ferguson, we could not find it at that company's current website. (Other online vendors may offer this and other Mirabelle toilet instructions).

Mirabelle toilets also sport their own website: mirabelleproducts.com which I can't yet recommend as that page is simply an auto-forward page to Signature Hardware, leaving me lost in a web that never got to your toilet.

On this and most other contemporary toilet seats there is usually a snap off or snap-up plastic cover over the toilet seat bolts at the left and right ends of the seat hinge, accessed from above. Newer toilet seat hinge bolts use a plastic nut under the toilet back into which the hinge bolt can be tightened from above, often using a flat bladed screwdriver. The newer hinge bolt nuts include a plastic arm that will prevent the nut itself from rotating so that all of the tightening operation can be done from above.

Older toilet seat hinge bolts use a nut below that does not have that rotation-limiting arm; those may need to be held in place while turning the hinge bolt screw from above.

Much older toilet seat hinges used metal bolts - in that case,
Watch out: over-tightening the toilet seat hinge bolt can break the toilet base, leading to having to replace the whole toilet!

Mirabelle toilets are listed as distributed/sold by Ferguson (Ferguson contact information is found at TOILET MANUFACTURERS & SOURCES) but I was disappointed to land at the current Ferguson website and find that though they included Mirabelle toilets in their listing they showed NO Mirabelle toilets nor toilet parts.
The manufacturer's OEM toilet seat for Mirabelle was typically the MIRTSSC202WH - Slow Close Toilet Seat, White


 

Looked at the flush scores to finally make up mind on toilet replacement choice

I recently replaced my old toilet with a Kohler toilets. I had to look at the GPF and the MaP flush score to finally make up my mind.
Those 2 criteria is pretty important when choosing. I like the 1.6 GPF, since I want to ensure nothing left behind, but saw lots of Kohler or TOTO toilets offer their featured technology to flush good at a 1.28 GPF rate. Anyways, I deep dove the internet for resources of toilets and liked the Kohler main site and www [dot] toiletable [dot] com to show me a list of features like the MaP score and GPF.

Hope this helps, btw, I chose the Kohler Cimarron as my replacement. 2023-08-08 by Katie Russo

Looking for a Pegasus toilet

Looking for a Pegasus toilet. Bought one 12 years ago and have never had a single problem. Would like to replace 2 nd bathroom with same kind. 2022-01-29 by fmajzer10@gmail.com

@fmajzer10,

Pegasus toilets were and are a store brand, eg. made for and sold by Home Depot, Walmarts, and other suppliers.

Often made by Glacier Bay (another HD brand) Glacier Bay Faucets and sanitaryware, 2455 Paces Ferry Road NW, .Atlanta, Ga. 30339-4024, Tel: 800-220-3036.

Other numbers we have for Pegasus:

Pegasus: 1-888-328-2383

Pegasus Warranty. 1-877-580-5682 / 1-888-328-2383

But START with your local Home Depot store who still sells a variety of toilets, faucets etc under the Pegasus brand, including the Victorian Two-piece toilet we show here -admittedly that's nothing like your toilet but you'll find similar to yours at your local building supplier including Home Depot.

You might also look at Glacier Bay toilets - in the same vernacular and quite possibly made in the same plant.

Toilet seat with 10-inch bolt spread (C) InspectApedia.com CATypical toilet bowl dimensions

Is there a standard or average rim size width height and depth (edge of rim to edge of interior bowl)? 2018-02-20 by James

Reply:

James

There are several "typical" toilet base rim diameters and shapes that are "close enough" that replacement toilet seat manufacturers are able to sell just a few sizes that work on almost every toilet.

A seat might simply overlap the front of the ceramic bowl a bit more or less.

Two toilet bowl general shapes

Round or "compact" toilets

Extended-elongated toilets

Typical toilet bowl dimensions

  • 14 to 14 1/2" in width, rarely up to 16 1/2" in width

and in length

  • a compact toilet bowl is typically 16" or 17" in length
  • an elongated toilet bowl is typically 18" or 19" in length

Watch out: make toilet length measurements the same way as is done by toilet manufacturers and toilet seat manufacturers:

measure the toilet length

- from the center of the hole through which the toilet seat hinge pin or bolt is inserted

- to the front edge of the toilet bowl at the longest point

The distance between the toilet seat hinge bolts is typically one of two sizes: 5 1/2" or about 7 1/2".

Some toilet seats are manufactured with a sliding hinge bolt so that the seat will fit on any bolt spacing. Use one of those if your toilet base is an old or odd dimension.

Below is an illustration of how and where to measure toilet base size to select the proper seat size. I'm using an elongated toilet seat or base as an example.
