American Standard Colony3 Two-Piece 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf Chair-Height Elongated Toilet Less Seat - AMS-250AA004

No. The Colony3 250AA004 ships less seat, so you order the elongated seat separately. Plan on an elongated seat, not a round one, and for commercial or multi-family work most specs call for an open-front or heavy-duty commercial seat. The tank trip lever and bolt caps are included and color-matched.

1.6 gallons per flush, 6.0 liters. That is the standard federal maximum for a full-flush toilet, not a HET or WaterSense-level 1.28 gpf model. If your jurisdiction or a green building spec requires 1.28 gpf or less, this one will not qualify.

The flush package is built around a 3-inch flush valve and a fully glazed 2-inch trapway, so water dumps fast and the passage is smooth rather than raw china. The PowerWash rim directs the flow around the bowl to scrub it on each flush. For rental turns and multi-family MRO, that 3-inch valve is the number worth noting, since 2-inch valves move water more slowly.

The Colony3 250AA004 is an elongated bowl, which projects further from the wall than a round front and is the more common choice in new residential and commercial work for comfort. In a half bath or a narrow powder room where you are fighting for clearance in front of the fixture, a round-front bowl is the better pick and this is not that model.

White only. The orderable part number is 250AA004.020, and the .020 suffix is American Standard's white. The trip lever and bolt caps are matched to it, so you are not mixing a chrome lever onto a white tank unless you choose to.

Two-piece. The bowl sets on the flange first, then the tank bolts to the bowl, which means two lighter lifts instead of one heavy one, and easier handling up stairs on a turn. It also means a tank-to-bowl gasket and bolt set in the joint, which is a serviceable part down the road rather than a sealed casting.

Vitreous china, the standard fired and glazed material for commercial and residential fixtures. It is non-porous, so it cleans with normal restroom chemicals and does not absorb stains, and the trapway is fully glazed as well. It will chip if struck hard, so in high-abuse locations such as corrections or transit, a stainless fixture is the correct call rather than china.
