American Standard Madera 1.1 – 1.6 gpf (4.2 – 6.0 Lpf) Chair Height Back Spud Elongated EverClean Bowl With Bedpan Lugs - AMS-3464001

No. The Madera 3464001 is a flushometer bowl only, shipped less seat. It needs a flushometer valve connected to the 1-1/2 inch top (back) spud, and a seat ordered separately. There is no tank option on this bowl, so it belongs on a building with pressurized supply sized for a flush valve.

The rim sits at 16-1/2 inches (419 mm), which American Standard calls Chair Height for accessible applications. Add seat thickness and you land in the range typically used for accessible fixtures. It is an elongated bowl, which is what accessible and commercial restroom layouts normally call for.

Bedpan lugs are raised pads on the bowl rim that hold a bedpan clear of the water while it is rinsed, and the Madera 3464001 has them. If you are specifying for patient rooms, skilled nursing, or behavioral health areas where staff empty bedpans at the toilet, this is the version to buy. In an office or school restroom the lugs give you nothing, and a Madera bowl without lugs is the simpler pick.

The bowl is rated as a High Efficiency Toilet operating anywhere from 1.1 gpf to 1.6 gpf (4.2 to 6.0 Lpf), so a 1.1, 1.28, or 1.6 gpf flushometer all work. That flexibility matters on retrofits: you can keep an existing 1.6 valve now and drop to a 1.28 diaphragm kit later without changing the fixture.

Back spud, meaning the 1-1/2 inch inlet is at the rear of the bowl for a valve coming down or out of the wall behind it. If your rough-in has the flush valve supply dropping directly over the bowl to a top-inlet spud, this is the wrong configuration and you want a top spud Madera instead.

The trapway is 2-1/8 inches (54 mm) and fully glazed, flushed by direct-fed siphon jet action rather than a rim-only wash. The glazed passage and the jet are what carry waste and paper through in high-use restrooms. Clogs on fixtures like this usually trace back to an undersized or mis-set flushometer rather than the bowl.

EverClean is an antimicrobial finish fired into the glazed surface that inhibits growth of the bacteria, mold, and mildew that cause stains and odor. It is part of the glaze, not a coating you reapply. For a property manager it means less scrubbing between cleaning rounds, but it is not a disinfectant and does not replace normal restroom cleaning.

The Madera 3464001 has a condensation channel built into the bowl, which catches and routes condensate instead of letting it drip onto the floor. That is worth having in unconditioned or humid spaces where cold supply water makes china sweat.

It is sold in White, part number 3464001.02. That is the single configuration for this bowl, so there is no finish decision to make when you standardize a facility on it.
