I bought a house that has a second bathroom in the basement. I would like to replace this toilet.
It appears to have a single water inlet and two over flow tubes. The refill hose tees into the regular overflow tube and into a second overflow tube. The second tube has a line out of the toilet tank and into the wall.
The tank model is a Proflo 3112 – E. I have not found any information online that refers to this setup.
What kind of toilet is this and where does the second overflow tube go?

It's a line to fill other traps that may run dry when not used. Every time you flush some water is diverted to top up the traps and prevent a sudden stink of sewage.
These traps that need topping up would be for example the floordrain in the basement or the drain for a water heater safety valve.
