American Standard Cadet Two-Piece Pressure Assist 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf Chair Height Elongated EverClean Toilet - AMS-2467100

The bowl is 16-1/2 inches (419 mm) chair height, which American Standard calls out for accessible applications. That rim height falls in the range used for accessible fixtures once a seat is added. Note the toilet ships as bowl and tank only, less seat, so seat thickness is on you.

No. It ships as a combination bowl and tank, less seat. You order an elongated seat separately. Two color-matched bolt caps and a chrome-plated metal trip lever are included, so those are not extra line items.

If the old fixture was a 12 inch rough-in elongated two-piece, yes, the footprint and waste connection line up. Two things change: the bowl sits at 16-1/2 inch chair height, so the rim will be higher than a standard-height bowl you are replacing, and the pressure-assist vessel makes it noticeably louder than a gravity tank. Both are worth flagging to a tenant before the swap.

Pressure assist is the choice where heavy, repeated use and clog callbacks are the problem. The Cadet uses a pressure-assisted siphon jet action, which compresses air in the tank vessel and forces the water out rather than relying on gravity head. That gives a stronger bowl evacuation at only 1.1 gpf. The tradeoff is noise, which is why gravity models still get specified in hotels and patient rooms next to sleeping areas. For office buildings, schools, and multi-family common restrooms, pressure assist is the usual call.

It flushes at 1.1 gpf / 4.2 Lpf, which American Standard states is 31 percent less water than the previous consumption level. On a building with dozens of fixtures and high traffic, that is the line item that carries a retrofit budget.

The trapway is 2-1/8 inches (54 mm) and fully glazed. Fully glazed means the internal passage is coated rather than raw vitreous body, so waste and paper slide rather than catch. Paired with the pressure-assisted siphon jet, that combination is what makes this model a common spec for public and multi-family restrooms.

Pressure assist units depend on incoming line pressure to charge the tank vessel, not on gravity head, so they need adequate static pressure at the fixture to refill and perform. Buildings with marginal pressure on upper floors are where these underperform. Supply connection is the standard toilet stop and closet supply, so no unusual rough plumbing is required beyond the 12 inch rough-in.

EverClean is an antimicrobial surface fired into the china that inhibits growth of the bacteria, mold, and mildew that cause stains and odor on the surface. It is not a disinfectant and it does not replace cleaning, but for a janitorial crew working a fleet of restrooms it slows down how fast bowls discolor between services.

White only, ordered as model 2467100.02. The included bolt caps are color matched to it, so the finished install has no contrasting hardware at the base.
