American Standard Champion 4 One-Piece 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf Standard Height Elongated Toilet With Seat - AMS-2004314

Standard height. The Champion 4 one-piece has a 15 inch (381 mm) rim height, so it sits lower than the roughly 16-1/2 to 17 inch ADA/comfort-height bowls. If you are specifying for accessibility in a commercial or multi-family unit, a right-height bowl is the one to order; for a residential replacement matching older fixtures, 15 inches is what you already have.

The seat is included. It is an elongated seat with a slow-close hinge, so it will not slam. A chrome trip lever and bolt caps come in the box as well. You still need to supply the wax ring or gasket, closet bolts, and the supply line, since those are not part of the fixture.

That is what the flush package is aimed at. The Champion 4 uses a 4 inch (102 mm) piston-action Accelerator flush valve, larger than the common 2 or 3 inch valves, feeding a 2-3/8 inch (60 mm) fully glazed trapway. The wide valve dumps the tank fast and the glazed trapway gives waste less to catch on. Property managers replacing repeat-callback toilets in apartments or a rental turnover typically buy on exactly that spec.

It flushes 1.6 gpf / 6.0 Lpf, which is the federal maximum for tank-type toilets and the standard spec on most plans and permits. If your job or utility rebate calls for a high-efficiency toilet at 1.28 gpf or less, this one does not qualify and you want a HET model.

No tank-to-bowl seam. The tank and bowl are a single vitreous china casting, so there is no gasket and bolt joint to weep years later and no crevice at the back of the bowl to scrub. It goes in as one unit rather than setting a bowl then bolting a tank on. The trade-off is weight and bulk on the handling side, and if the china cracks you replace the whole fixture instead of a tank. The Champion 4 also carries an EverClean surface that resists stain and odor causing buildup.

Elongated. An elongated bowl projects roughly two inches further off the wall than a round front, so in a tight powder room or where the door swing or a vanity crowds the fixture, measure your clear floor space before committing. Where there is room, elongated is the more comfortable bowl and is what most commercial and multi-family specs call for.

White is the finish offered, ordered as American Standard part number 2004314.02. The .02 suffix is American Standard's white color code, so if you are matching other fixtures in a building to white china, the number tells you the color is right.

No. The 4 inch Accelerator flush valve is a non-adjustable, piston-action design, so there is no setting to dial flush volume up or down. It is factory set to 1.6 gpf and every unit is flush tested at the factory before it ships.
