American Standard Cadet PRO Two-Piece 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf Chair Height Round Front 10-Inch Rough Toilet Less Seat - AMS-215BB004

Yes, the Cadet PRO 215BB004 is built specifically for a 10-inch rough-in, meaning 10 inches from the finished wall to the center of the closet flange. That's the older rough dimension you'll find in a lot of pre-1980s construction and in tight bathrooms. If your flange measures 12 inches on center, this isn't the bowl you want. Measure from the finished wall surface, not the baseboard, before you order.

American Standard states the Cadet PRO 215BB004 meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for use and accessibility. The chair-height bowl measures 17 inches tall including the seat, which is what gets it there. One caution for spec work: the 17 inch figure includes a seat, and the seat is not supplied with this toilet, so the seat you pair with it affects the finished height. American Standard notes slight height variation depending on the seat used.

No seat. The 215BB004 ships less seat, so you need to order a round front seat separately to complete the install. It does include the color-matched bowl caps and the trip lever, so those aren't extra line items. When you pick the seat, match it to the finish you ordered (white or linen) and confirm it's a round front, not elongated.

The 215BB004 is the round front bowl, which projects less into the room than an elongated bowl and is the usual pick for a powder room, a tight half bath, or any opening where the door swing is close to the fixture. Elongated bowls are more common in new residential construction and are often preferred for comfort. Since this one is also a 10-inch rough-in, it's aimed squarely at retrofit work in older buildings where both the wall distance and the floor space are constrained.

1.6 gallons per flush, 6.0 litres. That's the standard full-flush volume rather than a high-efficiency 1.28 gpf fixture, so if your jurisdiction or your green building program requires HET at 1.28 gpf or less, this bowl does not meet it. American Standard pairs the 1.6 gpf flush with the PowerWash rim, which directs water around the bowl on each flush.

Metal on both. The Cadet PRO uses a metal trip lever and a metal shank fill valve rather than the all-plastic trim common on builder-grade two-piece toilets. For a property manager turning units or an MRO buyer maintaining a fleet, that's the part of the toilet that gets handled every day and it's the usual first failure point.

It's a two-piece toilet, so the tank and bowl are separate china pieces bolted together, and a cracked tank doesn't mean scrapping the whole fixture the way it would on a one-piece. Worth knowing before you spec it: American Standard calls the Cadet PRO tank trade exclusive, so it's a wholesale channel part rather than something a resident picks up at a retail store.

Same idea, different brand word. The Cadet PRO 215BB004 is a chair-height bowl at 17 inches to the top of the seat, which is the taller seating position closer to a dining chair than a standard-height toilet. It's what you want for elderly residents, accessible units, and anywhere you're trying to reduce the drop. The 17 inch measurement includes the seat, which ships separately, so the seat you choose shifts it slightly.

Two finishes: white (215BB004.020) and linen (215BB004.222). Both are vitreous china with color-matched bowl caps and trip lever, so the trim reads as one piece rather than a white lever on a linen tank. If you're standardizing across a building, order the same finish code for every opening so the replacement bowls match the ones already set.

American Standard classes the Cadet PRO 215BB004 as a residential fixture. In practice that puts it in apartments, condos, single family rentals and light multi-family work rather than a high-traffic public restroom, where you'd normally be looking at a flushometer bowl instead of a tank type toilet. The vitreous china body and metal trim hold up fine to turn-over work in housing.
