American Standard Cadet PRO Two-Piece 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf Chair Height Round Front Right-Hand Trip Lever Toilet Less Seat - AMS-215BA105

The bowl has a 16-1/2 inch (419 mm) rim height for accessible application. That is the bare china rim, so once you add a seat you land in the comfort-height range most facilities standardize on. Note the seat is not included, so budget one per unit.

No. It ships as a combination bowl and tank, less seat, so you order a round front seat separately. It does include EZ-Install Tools and a metal shank fill valve, and the trip lever is metal rather than plastic.

1.28 gpf (4.8 Lpf), about 20 percent less than a 1.6 gallon toilet, and it meets EPA WaterSense criteria. That is the figure municipal and utility retrofit programs ask for when they require high efficiency fixtures.

Right-hand trip lever, mounted in metal. If you are standardizing a floor of units and the existing tanks all have the handle on the left, this one will not match them visually and the supply line side may need rethinking.

Round front, which is what the Cadet PRO 215BA105 is, saves roughly a couple of inches of projection into the room and is the usual pick for tight half baths and small apartment bathrooms. Elongated bowls are more comfortable and more common in new commercial and hospitality work, but they need the clear floor space in front. Either way, the seat has to match the bowl shape, and a round front bowl takes a round seat.

The Cadet PRO flushes through a 3 inch (76 mm) flush valve into a 2-1/8 inch (54 mm) fully glazed trapway, and the PowerWash rim directs water around the bowl on every flush. The larger valve dumps the tank fast, which is how it moves waste on 1.28 gallons. The glazed trapway is the part that matters for repeat clogs, since a glazed surface passes waste more cleanly than a raw china one.

It is built as a residential fixture, and that is how American Standard positions the Cadet family. It carries features that cross over well into multi-family and light commercial work, including the EverClean antimicrobial surface on the china and a 9 by 8 inch (229 x 203 mm) water surface area that keeps the bowl cleaner between services. For a heavy-use public restroom, a flushometer bowl with a flush valve is the normal spec instead of a tank type.

White is the finish offered, and the manufacturer number is 215BA105.020. The .020 suffix is American Standard's white china code. Quote that number when matching additional units to what is already installed.

A round front seat, a wax ring or waxless gasket, and a supply riser are the three items that are not in the carton. The tank comes with a metal shank fill valve and EZ-Install Tools for setting the bowl, and the closet bolts pair with a standard 12 inch rough-in flange.
