American Standard Cadet PRO Chair Height Elongated Toilet Bowl Only - AMS-3517A101

The Cadet PRO 3517A101 is the bowl by itself. There is no tank, no seat, and no supply line in the box, so a complete two-piece toilet means ordering the matching Cadet PRO tank and a seat separately. Buyers replacing a cracked bowl on an existing Cadet PRO, or standardizing bowls across units, are the ones who want this part number rather than a full toilet kit.

Chair height is the whole point of this bowl. The stated product height is 18.063 inches, which puts the rim near standard chair seating and makes sitting down and standing up easier than a standard-height bowl. That is why property managers turn to it for senior housing and accessible-minded unit turns. Add a seat and the finished seating surface sits a bit higher than the bare bowl figure.

Plan the stall or alcove around 28.875 long by 15.563 wide by 18.063 high. The 28.875 inch length is the number that bites in tight half-baths and older buildings, because an elongated bowl projects roughly two inches further from the wall than a round front. Check the clearance from the closet flange to the door swing and to any vanity before committing to elongated.

The flange connection is the same standard three-bolt closet flange, so the bowl itself sets on the existing rough-in. What changes is the front clearance: this elongated bowl runs 28.875 long, so measure from the wall behind the flange to whatever sits in front, the door swing, tub apron, or vanity toe. Codes commonly want clear space in front of the bowl, and swapping round for elongated is the most frequent way that clearance gets eaten up.

Three: White (3517A101.020), Bone (3517A101.021), and Linen (3517A101.222). Those suffixes are how the color is ordered, and they matter when you are matching an existing tank or lavatory in an older unit, since Bone and Linen are not interchangeable shades. If you are replacing one bowl in a bathroom that already has a matching American Standard tank, order the suffix that matches the tank, not the one that looks close in a photo.

American Standard classes the Cadet PRO as a residential fixture, so it suits apartments, single family, condos, and hospitality guest rooms. For a high-traffic public restroom, contractors normally spec a flushometer bowl with a top or back spud rather than a tank-type residential china bowl. Multi-family common-area restrooms are the gray zone, and traffic volume is what decides it.

An elongated seat, not a round one. Round seats leave the front of the bowl exposed and will not line up with the mounting holes as intended. Match the seat color to the bowl suffix you order (White .020, Bone .021, Linen .222), because a white seat on a Linen bowl is the callback nobody wants on a unit turn.
