Bemis 1055TK Elongated Plastic Open Front Less Cover Toilet Seat with Check Hinge

The 1055TK is an elongated seat built to the standard commercial bolt pattern: 5.5 inch bolt spread, 18.063 inches long and 14.438 inches wide. That spread is the normal two-bolt spacing on North American fixtures, so it fits most manufacturers' elongated bowls. If your bowl is round front, this is the wrong shape and you need a round open-front seat instead.

No lid. The 1055TK is an open front less cover seat, which is the configuration commercial and institutional codes typically call for in public restrooms. If you need a closed front seat with a cover for a hotel guest room or an apartment unit, this is not the model.

It stops the seat from swinging back too far. The check hinge holds it at 11 degrees past vertical, so the seat rests against the tank or wall instead of slamming back and cracking the china or the seat itself. That is worth having in high-traffic public restrooms where seats get thrown up hard all day.

The posts and pintles are 300-series stainless steel, chosen to resist corrosion from cleaning chemicals and constant moisture. The hinge body itself is plastic, so there is no painted or plated metal to rust through.

It is a commercial-grade heavy-duty plastic seat with molded-in color, so scratches and scuffs do not show a different color underneath the way a painted finish would, and it resists chips and stains. For standard office, school, and retail restroom traffic it is the normal spec. Where you have real abuse or vandalism concerns, that is where a heavier solid-plastic institutional seat earns its cost.

White only, ordered as 1055TK 000. For a property manager standardizing across a building, that keeps every restroom matching without having to track color codes per floor.

Seat height is 1.5 inches. That matters if you are checking a finished seat-top height against an accessibility target on a comfort-height fixture, since the seat stacks on top of the rim.

Yes, country of origin is the United States, and Bemis states it is produced with eco-friendly materials and processes. That is useful if you have domestic-content language in a government or institutional purchasing requirement.
