American Standard Cadet Two-Piece Pressure Assist 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf Chair Height Elongated EverClean Toilet With Bedpan Lugs - AMS-2467136

Yes, the Cadet 2467136 is built for a standard 12 inch (305 mm) rough-in measured from the finished wall to the closet flange bolts. That is the most common rough-in in North American construction, so it drops onto most existing flanges without moving the waste line.

The bowl sits at 16-1/2 inches (419 mm) chair height, which is what American Standard supplies for accessible applications. Add a seat and the finished seat height lands in the range accessible openings are typically specified at. The bowl is elongated.

No. The Cadet 2467136 ships as a combination bowl and tank, less seat, so you order an elongated seat separately. Two color-matched bolt caps and a chrome-plated metal trip lever are included.

Bedpan lugs are small raised pads cast into the top rim of the bowl that hold a bedpan clear of the rim for rinsing. This Cadet model has them, which is why it gets specified in hospitals, nursing homes, and behavioral or patient-care restrooms. If you are buying for an office or apartment, you do not need lugs and a standard Cadet bowl is the simpler buy.

Pressure assist, which is what this Cadet uses, compresses air inside a sealed vessel in the tank and pushes the water out hard through a siphon jet. It clears the bowl on one flush with only 1.1 gallons and resists the repeat-flush and clog calls that drive maintenance costs in high traffic restrooms. The trade-off is noise, so it is a poor choice next to a bedroom or a quiet office. Gravity flush is quieter and cheaper to repair; pressure assist is what facilities buy when flush performance matters more.

1.1 gallons per flush (4.2 litres), about 31 percent less than a 1.6 gpf fixture. That puts it in high efficiency territory for water conservation credits and for facilities trying to cut sewer charges across a large number of fixtures.

The trapway is 2-1/8 inches (54 mm) and fully glazed, and the flush is pressure-assisted siphon jet rather than gravity. The glaze gives waste less to catch on through the trap, and the pressurized discharge moves it in one pass. It is a common spec in buildings where drain-line calls are the recurring complaint.

EverClean is an antimicrobial finish fired into the china surface. It inhibits growth of the bacteria, mold, and mildew that cause stains and odors on the fixture itself. It is not a substitute for cleaning, but in a restroom that gets heavy use between janitorial rounds it slows the ring and odor buildup.

White only, ordered as part number 2467136.02. The included bolt caps are color-matched to the china, so no separate trim call is needed if you are standardizing white fixtures across a facility.
