American Standard Studio Skirted Chair Height Round Front Bowl With Seat - AMS-3053120

The Studio skirted round front bowl sits at a 16-1/2 inch (419mm) rim height, which American Standard calls out for accessible applications. That is measured to the rim before the seat, so the finished seated height lands in the comfort range most commercial and multi-family jobs are specifying today. For an aging-in-place unit turnover or a hotel room refresh, this is the height that avoids the low-bowl complaint.

It flushes at 1.28 gpf (4.8 Lpf), an ultra-low consumption rate that American Standard states uses 20 percent less water than a standard 1.6 gpf fixture, and it meets EPA WaterSense criteria. That matters on rebate paperwork and on any retrofit spec that requires WaterSense listed fixtures across a portfolio.

The Studio bowl is a siphon action jetted design with a fully-glazed 2-1/8 inch trapway, and the PowerWash rim scrubs the bowl on every flush. A fully glazed trapway at that size is what keeps a low-consumption fixture moving waste rather than catching it, which is the usual worry when a property manager drops from 1.6 gpf to 1.28.

Skirted means the outside of the bowl is a smooth continuous side with no exposed trapway contour, so there is nothing to clean around at the base. Skirted bowls do not set on the flange the way a conventional bowl does, so plan on the mounting hardware supplied with the fixture rather than standard closet bolts through visible holes. The upside for housekeeping is real: no trapway ridges collecting dust in a high-traffic restroom.

Yes, the seat is included with this Studio skirted chair height round front bowl. One less line item to chase when you are ordering fixtures for a multi-unit turnover. It is a bowl with seat, so the tank and trim are ordered separately to complete the fixture.

A round front bowl, which is what this Studio skirted model is, projects less from the wall than an elongated bowl and is the usual pick when the clear floor space in front of the fixture is tight, as in a small apartment bath or a half bath under a stair. Elongated is generally preferred for comfort and for commercial specs that call for it. If your drawing calls out elongated, this round front unit is not the right substitute.

EverClean is a surface treatment fired into the china that inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria on the glazed surface, and it is included on the Studio skirted bowl. It does not replace cleaning, but for institutional and hospitality restrooms it slows staining and odor between service rounds.

White only, ordered as part number 3053120.02. If you are matching existing fixtures in a building, white is the standard American Standard finish code and will line up with the rest of a white china package.
