American Standard Cadet PRO Two-Piece 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf Extra Tall Height Elongated Toilet Less Seat - AMS-215TA104

No seat is included. The 215TA104 ships as a two-piece bowl and tank only, so you need to order an elongated seat separately. Because the bowl is elongated, a round front seat will not fit the rim.

At 19 inches the bowl sits above the height range typically specified for accessible fixtures, so this is not the model to pick when you are meeting an accessibility requirement by the numbers. Extra-tall is a comfort choice, added ease of getting on and off for taller users. For an ADA project, spec a right-height or chair-height elongated bowl instead.

1.28 gallons per flush (4.8 litres), and it is WaterSense certified. That is the flush volume required in jurisdictions and rebate programs that mandate high-efficiency toilets, so it qualifies where 1.6 gpf models do not.

The flush package is what does that work: a 3 inch flush valve dumps the tank quickly, and a 2-1/8 inch fully glazed trapway carries the load out. The PowerWash rim directs pressurized water around the bowl on every flush so the sides get scrubbed rather than just rinsed. The 2-1/8 inch trapway is the larger of the common sizes, which is why plumbers spec this line for busy bathrooms.

It is built for that kind of service. The trip lever is metal rather than plastic and the fill valve has a metal shank, which are the two parts that usually fail first in a rental. The body is vitreous china, and the EverClean surface inhibits growth of bacteria, mold and mildew, which cuts down what a turnover crew has to scrub. American Standard classifies this as a residential model, so for high-traffic commercial restrooms you would look at a flushometer bowl instead of a tank type.

White is the only finish, ordered as manufacturer part number 215TA104.020. The chrome trip lever comes in the box; other trip lever finishes are sold separately if you are matching faucet or towel bar hardware in the room.

Beyond the elongated seat, plan on a wax ring or waxless gasket, closet bolts, and a supply line, none of which come with the toilet. The bowl and tank ship together as a two-piece set with the tank trim already in place, including the chrome trip lever, so the tank internals are not a separate purchase.

The Cadet PRO 215TA104 is two-piece, tank and bowl bolted together on site. That matters on a retrofit: each half is manageable up a stairwell or into a tight powder room, and if the tank cracks you replace the tank rather than the whole fixture. A one-piece has no tank-to-bowl seam to clean or leak, but it comes in as a single heavy unit and a failure means the entire fixture. For rental and MRO stock, the two-piece is the easier part to keep on a shelf.
