Kohler is among the brands of toilets i recommend to people. not my top recommendation, but good enough, AS LONG AS IT IS THE 3" FLUSHVALVE. and the problem is, customer goes up to HD/L and come back with a 2" "ingenium" flushvalve, something like that. the problem is, it's very hard to figure out which toilets have which flushvalves. i have spent a long time on their website and cannot figure it out. so, wondering if anyone knows if "Aquapiston" means 2" flush valve. i know that class five is 3". but i cannot find any specs on "Aquapiston." Kohler has a lot of models with that new black tower that are only 2".

from what i can tell online, the wellworth is class five, and the cimarron, which costs 50% more, is "Aquapiston." so does that mean the cimarron, which costs 50% more, is NOT class five? apparently it's not. apparently its whatever aquapiston, which has no definition that i can find.

Gerber finally got rid of all their 2" flushvalves. Toto also. but for some reason, kohler likes having both.
