American Standard Telescoping Slow-Close Easy Lift-Off Elongated Toilet Seat - AMS-5025A65G

The 5025A65G is an elongated seat and fits most conventional elongated toilet bowls. It measures 18.661 inches long by 14.409 inches wide by 2.125 inches high, so if the bowl you are replacing on takes a standard elongated seat, this drops onto it. It will not work on a round-front bowl.

Yes. The Telescoping seat installs entirely from the top of the bowl, so there is no reaching up behind the china to hold a nut. That matters on wall-hung or tight-clearance installs and it means one person can swap a seat in a few minutes without pulling the toilet.

The 5025A65G is classified as a residential seat. For a public or commercial restroom running heavy daily traffic, a commercial-rated open-front seat is the right call. Where this one earns its place in a multi-family or hospitality setting is in-unit bathrooms, where it behaves like a residential fixture and the slow-close hinge stops the lid slamming.

Two colors: White and Linen. Order White as 5025A65G.020 and Linen as 5025A65G.222. The .020 and .222 suffixes are American Standard's standard color codes, so they match the same color on their bowls and tanks, which is what you want if you are matching a seat to an existing fixture rather than a whole new install.

It does. The seat lifts off the hinge posts without tools, which is the whole point of the Easy Lift-Off design, and the posts stay bolted to the bowl. Housekeeping can pull the seat, clean under the hinges and the back of the rim, and snap it back. The EverClean surface on the seat itself inhibits stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew growth.

An Ever-Tite locking system holds the seat position. That is the failure most property managers are actually replacing a seat over: the seat that shifts sideways every time someone sits, because the standard bolts have worked loose. The Ever-Tite hardware clamps and stays clamped, so it holds without a monthly retighten.

Polypropylene, not the older molded wood with a painted enamel skin. Polypropylene is a solid color through the body, so it does not chip along the front edge or blister the way an enamel-coated wood seat does when it is cleaned hard. It is also the lighter of the two, this seat weighs 4.473 pounds.

Slow-close is worth it where lid slamming is the complaint driving the service call, or where the seat gets replaced repeatedly because tenants drop the lid. The hinge on the 5025A65G lowers the seat and lid under damping instead of letting them fall. A standard hinge is simpler and has nothing to wear out. If your turnover units keep coming back with cracked lids, the damped hinge is the fix.
