    Thanks in advance, I've spent hours searching abd even using Google lens in effort to identify who the bell makes this toilet / flush valve. The logo I'd guess is SC? But it's led me no where.

    Here is a photo of the flush valve with a logo on it. It's a 1998 Arno Leopard yacht so Italian build. Any insight on even potential manufacture would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    I don't think they make that stuff anymore, but the manufacturer is (was) definitely this one.

    I thought to check my old files, and found one of their catalogues.
    I made an abstract of the toilet components section, which you may find of some interest.
    Though it's 20+ years old stuff, and as I said I'm not sure they are still in business with these products, though they were rather popular back in the days, particularly in big-ish yachts...

    Wow, just wow! Capt Ralph I couldn't agree more. Mapism you are a outstanding and cannot thank you enough for the help. You nailed it, I tried searching for days.

    The issue is the ARNO Leopard yard was / is essentially unreachable and were of no help. But you my friend I cannot thank enough. The boat is Stateside here in the USA 70' on Lake Lanier in GA.

    U R welcome.
    If nothing else, being Italian and having grey hairs does help, when it comes to oldish Italian boats... :)

    I just emailed Sanguineti which does appear to be actively in business still. There catalog on there website still showed the toilets and was the same excerpt Mapism shared so I will see what they say if they respond. It seems to me like nothing would be able to retrofit as its very propriety in its mounting / seals & general design. The boats in incredible original shape so hoping that retrofitting / updating isn't necessary.

    Oh, Welcome to Yacht Forums.

    We have brothers and sisters all over the world.
    Brother mapism has been a great resource for many years.
    If you did not notice, he is in Sardinia.
    At least he has hair to brag about albeit it is grey.

    Keep us up on your progress.
    Feel free to open a new thread and tell us about your ship.
    Lots of pictures, We like to watch..

    The more post/topics on Arno Leopard and Sanguinet, the more chances that another owner/captain/manager may offer some info or thoughts.

    Turning white, actually.

    Do yourself a favor and install a raritan head system in place of that antiquated Italian POS, for the probably the same money as the replacement pump, shipping, and customs to get it here.
