American Standard Cadet Pressure Assist Chair Height Elongated EverClean Bowl With Bedpan Lugs - AMS-3484001

The Cadet 3484001 is a bowl only. It is a floor-mount elongated pressure-assist bowl that works with either a 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf or a 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf pressure-assist tank, so the tank is a separate order. Color-matched bolt caps come with the bowl.

It sits at 16-1/2 inches (419 mm) chair height, which is the height American Standard specifies for accessible applications. That is taller than a standard residential bowl and is the usual choice for healthcare, senior housing, and public restrooms where an easier sit-to-stand matters.

No. The lugs on the Cadet 3484001 raise the seat off the rim, so you need an elongated seat made for bedpan-lug bowls (often called an extended or bedpan-lug seat). Ordering a standard elongated seat will leave it rocking on the lugs.

Bedpan lugs are raised pads cast into the rim of the bowl that hold a bedpan steady while it is being rinsed and emptied. The Cadet 3484001 has them, which is why it shows up in hospital patient rooms, nursing homes, and clinics. If you are specifying for a general office or school restroom you do not need lugs, and a bowl without them gives you a flat rim for the seat.

Pressure assist, which is what the Cadet 3484001 is built for, uses air pressure in a sealed vessel inside the tank to force the flush. It clears the bowl hard on a single flush and is the common pick for high-traffic and institutional restrooms where double-flushing and clogs cost labor. The trade-off is noise and a tank you cannot service like a standard flapper valve. Gravity flush is quieter and simpler to repair, which is why it stays the choice for guest rooms, offices, and anywhere sound carries.

Floor mount. It bolts to a standard floor flange, so it is not a substitute for a wall-hung bowl on a carrier. If your rough-in is a wall carrier behind the finished wall, you need a wall-hung fixture instead.

It fits that use well. The Cadet 3484001 combines the three things institutional specs usually call for together: 16-1/2 inch chair height for accessible applications, bedpan lugs for patient rooms, and the EverClean antimicrobial surface. Because the bowl accepts both 1.1 gpf and 1.6 gpf pressure-assist tanks, you can hold one bowl SKU across the building and vary the tank by water-use requirement.

EverClean is an antimicrobial surface fired into the china on the Cadet 3484001. It inhibits the growth of the bacteria, mold, and mildew that cause stains and odor on the surface itself. It is not a substitute for cleaning, but in a facility where restrooms get heavy use it slows down the staining between cleans.

White is the only finish offered, ordered as American Standard part 3484001.02. The bolt caps supplied with it are color-matched to the china.
