My cousin's in the market for a 1.28GPF corner(triangle tank) toilet. American Standard's Cadet is 1.6 GPF and so is Eljer's Patriot. Anybody know of a 1.28GPF model?

Because Mr/Mz inspector might check to see if it's 1.28. I've been there and had them check toilets and aerators for compliance.

I've never heard of Barnum toilets but they offer a dual flush corner toilet, model 273586. Product description does not mention gpf but have to assume that the lesser flush would be 1.28.

The only difference between a "corner" toilet and a regular one IS the tank.

It's too bad that someone doesn't have a stamp to temporarily remark a toilet with slightly different ratings for said inspection.

There's a couple of non-mainstream manufactured toilets available with dual flush 1.6/.8, but no MaP tests available and the reason for her wanting to replace is because of a lackluster flush. Her current toilet is an Eljer and current MaP Test for the Patriot is 400-500. AmStd's model is >=1000, but both are 1.6GPF. I'm call bldg. dept tomorrow and see if they will allow 1.6, if 1.28 isn't available.

You don't want it if it is under 800 Mapps.
