American Standard Cadet Two-Piece Pressure Assist 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf Elongated EverClean Toilet - AMS-2462100

No seat. The 2462100 ships as a combination bowl and tank, less seat, so you need to order an elongated seat separately. Two color-matched bolt caps and a chrome-plated metal trip lever are included with the fixture.

No. This Cadet is a standard 15 inch (381 mm) rim height. ADA and right-height applications call for a bowl whose seated height lands in the 17 to 19 inch range with the seat on, so for an accessible stall you need a right-height or chair-height model instead of this one.

Pressure assist uses water line pressure trapped in a sealed vessel inside the tank to force the bowl clear, rather than relying on gravity head. The Cadet 2462100 pairs that with a siphon jet flush action at 1.1 gpf, so it moves waste at a very low flush volume. The tradeoff is a louder flush and a system that depends on adequate supply pressure, which is why these are common in offices, schools and multi-family rather than bedroom-adjacent residential baths.

1.1 gallons per flush (4.2 litres), which is 31 percent less than a 1.6 gpf fixture. For a property manager standardizing across a building, that is the number that drives the water bill, and it is well under the 1.6 gpf federal maximum.

The Cadet 2462100 has an elongated bowl, which projects roughly two inches further forward than a round front. In tight residential half baths or narrow commercial stalls where clearance in front of the fixture is limited, measure before committing; a round front bowl is the fix where the projection does not work.

The trapway measures 2-1/8 inches (54 mm) and is fully glazed end to end. The glaze is what matters for maintenance: a smooth glazed passage gives waste less to catch on, which is the reason this style gets specified for high traffic restrooms.

Plan on an elongated seat (not included), a wax ring or waxless seal, closet bolts, and a supply stop with a flexible riser. The trip lever and bolt caps come with the fixture. Since this is a two-piece, the tank-to-bowl hardware ships with the unit, but the flange itself and any repair flange for a worn floor connection are separate.

EverClean is an antimicrobial treatment fired into the china surface. It inhibits growth of the bacteria, mold and mildew that cause stains and odor on the fixture surface. It does not sanitize the water and it is not a substitute for cleaning, but it slows how fast the bowl discolors between services, which is the point for an MRO crew on a rotation.
