American Standard Contemporary Slow-Close & Easy Lift-Off Elongated Toilet Seat for VorMax CleanCurve Style Rims - AMS-5055A65C

This one is bowl-specific. The 5055A65C is built for elongated VorMax CleanCurve style rims, where the rim shape and the bottom-mount hole pattern are matched to that bowl. On a conventional elongated bowl the contour will not sit right, so match it to a CleanCurve rim before ordering. For a plain elongated two-piece or round-front bowl, order a standard elongated seat instead.

Bottom mounting hardware ships in the box, so nothing else is needed to hang the seat. It uses the Ever-Tite locking hinge system, which is what keeps the seat from working loose and shifting side to side after install. The hinge also lifts off without tools, so a maintenance tech can pull the seat for cleaning and drop it back on the same hardware.

Three colors, each its own part number: White is 5055A65C.020, Bone is 5055A65C.021, and Linen is 5055A65C.222. American Standard uses the suffix after the decimal as the color code, so specify the full number when ordering to keep a fleet of bathrooms matching rather than ending up with a white seat on a bone bowl.

It is a residential-duty seat. The 5055A65C is a polypropylene plastic slow-close seat aimed at homes and apartment units, not the heavy open-front commercial seats a public restroom takes. For a managed multi-family portfolio it works fine in the unit bathrooms; for a lobby or public washroom, specify a commercial-duty seat instead.

Yes, and that is the main reason to pick it for turnover work. The Easy Clean hinge releases when you lift the seat, so it comes off the bowl with no tools and goes back on the same bolts. Combined with the EverClean antimicrobial surface on the seat itself, it cuts the time spent scrubbing the hinge area on a unit clean-out.

That is what the no-slam mechanism does: both the seat and the lid lower under control rather than dropping. On rental and multi-family work it is the fix for chipped bowl rims and tenant noise complaints. The seat also has bumpers sized for the CleanCurve rim to keep it from sliding when someone sits down off-center.

Polypropylene plastic, molded rather than a wrapped wood core. Plastic holds up better where the seat gets lifted off and wiped down constantly, since there is no finish to chip off an edge, and it carries the EverClean antimicrobial treatment in the surface.
