American Standard Heritage VorMax Two-Piece 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf Chair Height Elongated Toilet Less Seat - AMS-205AA104

No seat. The Heritage VorMax 205AA104 ships less seat, so you need to order an elongated seat separately. A chrome-plated trip lever is included with the tank. Since the advertised 17-inch chair height includes a seat, the actual finished height shifts slightly with whichever seat you pick.

The Heritage VorMax is stated to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for use and accessibility, with a chair height of 17 inches including the seat. Worth noting for spec work: American Standard classifies the Heritage VorMax as a residential product, so if you're writing a commercial restroom spec, confirm it against your project's commercial fixture requirements.

1.28 gallons per flush (4.8 liters), and it's WaterSense certified, which means roughly 20 percent less water than a standard 1.6 gpf fixture. For a property manager replacing older 1.6 or 3.5 gpf toilets across a building, that's the number that drives the water savings case.

VorMax is American Standard's patented flush design that sends about twice as much jetted water to the rim instead of relying on small rim holes fed by gravity. The practical difference is bowl washing: a conventional two-piece drops water through a ring of rim ports, while VorMax channels it as a jetted sheet. If you're choosing between them for a high-traffic apartment or hospitality bathroom, the VorMax is the bowl-cleaning argument.

Chair height on the Heritage VorMax measures 17 inches to the top of the seat, versus the roughly 15 inch seat height of a standard bowl. Chair height is what you want for accessible units, senior housing, and anywhere ADA use applies. Standard height is generally preferred in kids' bathrooms and schools. Remember the 17 inches is measured with a seat installed, and this bowl ships without one.

Elongated bowl. An elongated bowl runs about two inches longer front to back than a round front, so in a tight powder room or a stall with a swinging door, check your clearance from the wall to the front of the bowl before swapping a round-front fixture for this one. The rough-in at the wall stays 12 inches either way.

It's offered in White, ordered as American Standard part number 205AA104.020. The .020 suffix is American Standard's White finish code, so it will match other White American Standard chinaware already in the building.

Vitreous china, the standard glazed ceramic body used for commercial and residential water closets. It's a two-piece design, so the tank and bowl ship as separate pieces and are bolted together at install, which makes it easier to handle up stairs than a one-piece.
