American Standard Cadet PRO Two-Piece 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf Chair Height Elongated Toilet Less Seat - AMS-215AA104

Yes. The Cadet PRO 215AA104 is stated ADA compliant, meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for use and accessibility. The chair height bowl is what gets it there: it measures 17 inches tall including the seat, versus a standard height bowl. Because the seat is bought separately, the finished height varies slightly with the seat you pick, so on an ADA scoped job specify a seat that keeps you inside the required range.

1.28 gallons per flush, 4.8 litres, and it is WaterSense certified, using 20 percent less water than a standard 1.6 gpf fixture while performing as well or better. That matters in two places: jurisdictions that mandate 1.28 gpf maximum on new work and replacement, and utility rebate programs that require the WaterSense mark on the invoice.

Three china colors: White (215AA104.020), Bone (215AA104.021) and Linen (215AA104.222). If you are matching existing fixtures in a building, order by that full suffix number, since the color code is the last three digits and it is the only thing separating the three. The bowl caps and trip lever are color matched to whichever one you pick.

Chair height is the one to spec where tenants are older or mobility is a factor, and the Cadet PRO 215AA104 is the chair height version: 17 inches to the top of the seat instead of the roughly 15 inch standard bowl. The extra couple of inches is the difference between sitting down and dropping down. For a childrens facility or an elementary school restroom, chair height is the wrong call and you want a standard height bowl.

The trim is metal where it usually fails: a metal trip lever and a metal shank fill valve, rather than the plastic parts that snap on builder grade fixtures. The bowl and tank are vitreous china. American Standard flags this as a trade-exclusive tank, which is the version sold through supply rather than the big box channel. It is classified as a residential fixture, so for heavy public restroom traffic look at a commercial flushometer bowl instead.

The 215AA104 is an elongated bowl, which projects further into the room than a round front at the same 12 inch rough-in. In a tight powder room or a unit where the door swing or a facing vanity is close, measure the clear floor space in front of the flange before swapping. The rough-in and the floor bolt pattern are unchanged, so the connection is the same; it is only the front of the bowl that moves.

Beyond the Cadet PRO itself you need an elongated seat, since none is included, plus a wax ring or waxless gasket, closet bolts, and a supply line to the shutoff. The tank to bowl connection and the trip lever come with the fixture. If you are standardizing across a building, buy the seats in the same color code as the china so replacements down the line still match.

The Cadet PRO uses a PowerWash rim that scrubs the bowl on every flush, and American Standard states the WaterSense rating means it performs as well as or better than a standard toilet at the lower volume. That is the specific concern with low flow fixtures in rentals, where a double flush erases the water saving. It is a gravity fed two-piece, so there is no pressure assist tank noise.

215AA104.020 is the white one. American Standard builds the color into the suffix, so 215AA104 is the base model and .020 White, .021 Bone, .222 Linen identify the finish. It is in the Cadet family, two-piece, elongated, chair height, 1.28 gpf, sold without a seat.
