Mid Century Twyfords Syphonic Toilet Pan | White

Update your home with this authentic 1960s syphonic toilet pan manufactured by the renowned Twyfords. This model is a reverse-trap syphonic design featuring a P-trap (horizontal outlet). Syphonic toilets were the gold standard of 1960s plumbing and were prized for their powerful, near-silent flush and higher water level, which significantly reduced the need for frequent cleaning compared to standard washdown models.

Engineering and Restoration Quality

This pan has been carefully salvaged and undergoes a meticulous restoration process to meet modern standards:

• Fully Restored: The vitreous china has been professionally descaled and polished to restore its original high-gloss white finish.

• Excellent Condition: We have inspected this unit to ensure there are no visible chips or cracks.

• P Trap Configuration: Features a horizontal waste outlet, making it suitable for wall exit plumbing.

Installation and Compatibility

Please note that this syphonic toilet pan has a waste outlet positioned lower than most modern WC units.

• Ideal Replacement: This design is perfect for a like-for-like replacement of an original 1960s Twyfords pan.

• Retro Character: It is an excellent choice for those looking to maintain the authentic mid-century feel of their bathroom without compromising on the superior flush performance of a syphonic trap.

Why Choose a Syphonic Pan?

The syphonic toilet pan uses a unique dual-trap system to create a vacuum during the flush, pulling waste through the pipe with greater force than a standard gravity flush. This 1960s Twyfords model represents a time when bathroom fixtures were built to last and offers a tactile sense of quality often missing in modern lightweight ceramics.
