American Standard Champion PRO Two-Piece 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf Standard Height Elongated Toilet Less Seat - AMS-211CA104

Yes, the Champion PRO two-piece is built for a standard 12-inch rough-in, measured from the finished wall to the center of the closet flange bolts. That is the most common spacing in North American construction, so on a straight swap of an existing 12-inch rough toilet the bowl sets over the same flange. If your flange centers measure 10 or 14 inches from the wall, this bowl is the wrong part and you need a rough-specific model.

No seat is included. The Champion PRO 211CA104 ships less seat, so you order an elongated seat separately and it needs to be elongated, not round, to match the bowl. What does come in the carton is the chrome finish trip lever handle and color matched bowl caps. Plan on a supply line and closet bolts as well if you are not reusing them.

Standard height. The Champion PRO 211CA104 is the standard bowl height, which sits lower than the chair height or right height models. If you are outfitting units for aging residents or trying to hold a consistent seat height across a property that already uses taller bowls, this is not the matching bowl, and you want a comfort or right height elongated model instead.

It flushes at 1.28 gallons per flush (4.8 liters), and it is WaterSense certified, using 20 percent less water than a standard 1.6 gpf fixture. That 1.28 gpf figure is what most water-conserving fixture specs and utility rebate programs are written around, so a spec calling for a high efficiency toilet is satisfied by this rating.

The Champion PRO carries a 1,000 MaP score, the highest rating the MaP flush performance test issues, so bulk clearing is not the tradeoff it used to be on low consumption bowls. American Standard rates the WaterSense flush as performing as well as or better than regular toilets. For turnover units and heavy use bathrooms, the 1.28 gpf volume is what cuts the water bill without giving up the flush.

Residential. The Champion PRO 211CA104 is classed as a residential fixture, which covers single family, rentals and multi-family units. For a high traffic public restroom, a school or a healthcare facility, spec a commercial fixture instead, typically a flushometer bowl with a flush valve rather than a two-piece tank toilet.

EverClean is a surface treatment fired into the china that inhibits growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the glazed surface. It works on the surface itself, so it does not treat water in the bowl or replace routine cleaning, but it slows the staining and ring buildup that drives repeat callbacks in high traffic restrooms. The bowl body is vitreous china.

White only, ordered as MPN 211CA104.020. The .020 suffix is American Standard's white code, and the bowl caps are color matched to it with a chrome trip lever. If you are standardizing fixtures across a building, every unit of this model will match, so there is no finish decision to make on the order.

Metal on both. The trip lever and the shank fill valve are metal rather than plastic, which is the pair of parts that usually fails first in a rental or high use bathroom. The handle is finished in chrome.
