American Standard Boulevard One-Piece Dual Flush 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf and 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf Chair Height Elongated Toilet With Seat - AMS-2891200

The rim height is 16-1/2 inches (419 mm), which is American Standard's Chair Height. With the seat on top it sits close to a standard dining chair, so residents sit down and stand up with far less strain than a standard-height bowl. That makes it a common choice for senior housing and accessible units.

Two settings off the top-mounted push button: a full flush at 1.6 gpf (6.0 Lpf) for solids and a conserving flush at 1.1 gpf (4.2 Lpf) for liquids. American Standard rates the combination at 31 percent less water than a single 1.6 gpf fixture, and it meets EPA WaterSense criteria, which matters if you're chasing a utility rebate or a green spec.

No separate seat purchase. The Boulevard one-piece ships with a slow-close seat and cover that has a concealed seat ring and lifts off without tools for cleaning. Two color-matched bolt hole covers and the chrome plated top-mounted push button actuator are included as well. You still supply the wax ring or gasket, closet bolts and supply line.

The Boulevard runs a 2 inch (51 mm) fully glazed, smooth-sided concealed trapway fed by a 3 inch (76 mm) flush valve. The large valve dumps water fast enough to drive a siphon quickly, and the PowerWash rim directs water around the bowl on every flush. Water surface area is 9 x 8 inches (229 x 203 mm), which keeps waste off the china in the first place.

A one-piece like the Boulevard has the tank and bowl cast as a single unit, so there is no tank-to-bowl gasket to weep and no seam at the back of the tank to collect grime. That is the argument for it in hospitality and high-traffic multi-family. The tradeoff is handling: it is one heavy piece to carry and set, and if the china cracks you replace the whole fixture rather than a tank. A two-piece is easier to get up stairs and cheaper to repair in parts.

It is an elongated bowl, which projects roughly two inches further from the wall than a round front. In a powder room or a bathroom where the door swing or a vanity crowds the fixture, measure the clear floor space before committing. If clearance is tight, a round front bowl is the better call; if you have the room, elongated is what most commercial and residential specs call for today.

EverClean is an antimicrobial glaze fired into the china surface. It inhibits the growth of the bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odors, so the bowl stays looking clean longer between services. It is not a sanitizer and it does not replace routine cleaning, but on a high-turn property it cuts how often housekeeping has to scrub.

White only, ordered as part number 2891200.02. The bolt hole covers ship color-matched to the china, and the flush actuator is chrome plated. American Standard designed the Boulevard styling to coordinate with Studio and Boulevard lavatories if you're matching a full washroom package.
