American Standard Afwall Millennium Wall-Hung EverClean Toilet System With Manual Piston Flush Valve, 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf - AMS-2856111

The bowl ships less seat, so a seat has to be ordered separately. It is an elongated wall-hung flushometer bowl with a top spud, supplied as a system with the manual piston flush valve. Being wall-hung, it also needs a wall carrier in the chase to support it; the carrier is not part of the bowl and valve package.

Flushometer. There is no tank; the bowl is a wall-hung flushometer bowl with a top spud, fed by the manual piston-operated flush valve supplied with it. That means it needs a pressurized supply line sized for a flushometer, not a small tank stop. If the building only has a low-flow supply stub for a tank-type fixture, this is the wrong fixture type.

1.1 gallons per flush (4.2 litres), with a maximum 1,000 gram MaP score. The high MaP rating at that volume is why it holds up in high-traffic restrooms where a low-flow fixture would otherwise double-flush.

The valve uses American Standard's DynaClean self-cleaning wiper spring. An integral wiper spring scrubs the refill orifice on every flush, which is the orifice that clogs with grit and causes valve run-on. The handle is non-hold-open, so it shuts off automatically even if someone holds it down. That combination is aimed squarely at the run-on call that keeps bringing maintenance back to the same stall.

Manual. The flush valve is piston-operated with a handle, not an infrared sensor. If the spec calls for touchless operation in the restroom, this is the wrong package and you want a sensor-operated flushometer version instead.

EverClean is a permanent surface treatment on the china that inhibits growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface. It is not a coating that wears off with cleaning, and it does not replace cleaning; it slows the staining and odor buildup between cleanings, which is the reason it gets specified in schools, healthcare and high-volume public restrooms.

Cold supply water in a humid restroom makes the outside of the china sweat, and that drip ends up on the floor under a wall-hung bowl. The condensation channel catches and directs that moisture instead of letting it run down the wall and onto the finished floor, which is a real issue in unconditioned or high-humidity public restrooms.

White only, ordered as part number 2856111.02. There is no other china color offered on this bowl and valve package, so a facility standardizing on white fixtures can match it across openings without a special order.
