American Standard Madera 15-Inch EverClean Toilet System With Manual Piston Flush Valve, 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf - AMS-2855128

It ships as a complete system: the Madera elongated floor mount bowl plus a manual piston-operated flush valve rated 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf. There is no tank. The bowl is a top spud flushometer bowl, so the valve connects at the top of the bowl rather than behind it. The seat is not included, so order an elongated commercial seat separately.

It carries a maximum 1,000 gram MaP score, which is the top of the MaP test scale and the number facility buyers look for when specifying a 1.28 gpf fixture for heavy traffic. That is waste removal in a single flush at the low flow rate, so you are not trading performance for the water savings.

EverClean is a permanent surface treatment fired into the china that inhibits growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, mold, and mildew on the surface. It is not a coating that wears off with cleaning chemicals, and it does not sanitize the room or the water; it keeps the bowl surface from harboring the organisms that cause staining and odor between cleanings. For a housekeeping crew it means less scrubbing to keep a bowl looking clean, not fewer cleanings.

Two things on this valve. DynaClean self-cleaning wiper spring technology uses an integral wiper spring that cleans the refill orifice on every flush, which is the orifice that clogs with grit and scale and causes valve run-on. Second, the handle is non-hold open, so it shuts off automatically even if someone holds it down. For an MRO budget that is the difference between a routine valve rebuild and repeat callbacks on a running fixture.

This package is the manual piston-operated version with a handle. Manual is the simpler spec: no batteries, no transformer, no sensor to fail, and nothing electrical to rough in. Go sensor operated instead when the facility wants hands-free operation for hygiene reasons (healthcare, food service, high-traffic public restrooms) and you can accept the battery or hardwired power requirement. The bowl itself is the same top spud flushometer bowl either way.

The system covers the bowl and the flush valve, so the main thing missing is the seat, which is sold less seat and needs to be an elongated open-front commercial seat. You will also need the floor closet flange hardware and bolts, a wax or waxless gasket, and the supply stop and rough-in piping to the valve. Because it is a top spud bowl, the valve tailpiece drops in at the top of the bowl, not at the rear.

The Madera bowl has a condensation channel built in, which catches and routes the moisture that forms on cold china in humid restrooms so it does not drip onto the floor. It is a flushometer bowl with no tank at all, so there is no tank to sweat in the first place.

It is sold in White, model 2855128.02. That is the number to quote when you are matching additional fixtures across a facility so the china matches what is already installed.
