Bemis 1200SLOWT 047 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bemis 1200SLOWT fit my elongated toilet bowl?
The 1200SLOWT is an elongated seat measuring 18.75 inches long and 14.313 inches wide, with a 5.5 inch bolt spread. That bolt spread is the standard two-hole spacing used on nearly all residential and commercial toilets, and Bemis states the seat fits most manufacturers' elongated bowls. Measure your bowl from the center of the seat bolt holes to the front rim: if it comes in around 18-1/2 inches, it's elongated and this seat is the right shape. A round bowl runs about 16-1/2 inches and needs a round seat instead.
2) Do the seat bolts on the Bemis 1200SLOWT line up with 5-1/2 inch centers on my bowl?
Yes. The 1200SLOWT is built to a 5.5 inch bolt spread, which is the standard center-to-center hole spacing on virtually every two-bolt toilet made in North America. If your existing seat bolts drop through two holes about 5-1/2 inches apart, this seat mounts in the same holes with no drilling or bowl modification.
3) I manage apartments and I'm sick of seats going loose and rocking. Does this one hold?
That's what the STA-TITE fastening system on the 1200SLOWT is for. It's a tension-based fastener rather than a plain nut on a bolt, so the seat clamps to the bowl and doesn't work loose and shift under normal use. For a maintenance crew that's the difference between a seat replaced once and a seat re-tightened every few months. It also installs by hand from the top of the bowl, so there's no reaching up behind the china with a wrench.
4) Can I get a Bemis 1200SLOWT to match an old colored toilet like Harvest Gold or Venetian Pink?
Yes, and this is the reason to look at the 1200SLOWT specifically. It runs in 28 colors, including the vintage bathroom shades that are hard to source anywhere else: Harvest Gold, Venetian Pink, Ming Green, Sea Green, Fawn Beige, Country Grey, Blush, Wild Rose, Heron Blue, Dresden Blue, Colonial Blue, Regency Blue, Twilight Blue, Navy, Teal, Seafoam, Loganberry, Raspberry, Desert Bloom, Sand, Silver, Ice Grey, Espresso Brown, Red, Yellow, Black, plus Crane White and Euro White. Order by color code, so Harvest Gold is 1200SLOWT 031 and Venetian Pink is 1200SLOWT 063.
5) Can housekeeping pull this seat off to clean around the hinges?
Yes. The Easy-Clean hinge on the 1200SLOWT releases the seat from the mounting posts so it lifts right off the bowl, then snaps back on. Staff can get at the hinge area and the china behind it without unbolting anything, which is the spot that otherwise gets skipped in a high-turnover restroom.
6) Is the Bemis 1200SLOWT a slow-close seat?
It is. The Whisper Close hinge takes the seat and lid down slowly and quietly instead of letting them drop, which kills the slam and the pinched-finger problem. In hotels, dorms, and multi-family that's a noise-complaint and a liability item both, and it's the main reason to pick the 1200SLOWT over a standard free-fall seat.
7) Plastic or wood toilet seat for a commercial restroom?
Go plastic for anything with real traffic, and the 1200SLOWT is the plastic build: solid plastic with color molded all the way through, so it resists wear, chips, and stains. A molded-in color doesn't scratch off to a different color underneath the way a painted enamel wood seat does, and it takes cleaning chemicals better. Wood seats are heavier and warmer to sit on, which is a residential preference more than a commercial one.
8) Which white do I order, Crane White or Euro White?
Two different whites, and they are not interchangeable on a visible fixture. Crane White is 1200SLOWT 020 and Euro White is 1200SLOWT 160. If you're matching an existing bowl, pull the color name off the toilet's own spec or hold a sample against the china before you commit to a case quantity, because a slightly wrong white reads worse than an obvious contrast.
9) Do I need any extra hardware or tools to install the Bemis 1200SLOWT?
No separate hardware order. The STA-TITE fastening system comes with the seat and installs without tools, so all you need is the existing two bolt holes at 5-1/2 inch centers on the bowl. Bemis publishes an installation guide for the 1200SLOWT if a crew wants the step-by-step before they start a run of units.
10) Are the hinges on the Bemis 1200SLOWT metal or plastic?
Plastic, and color-matched to the seat rather than left in a contrasting white or chrome. That matters two ways: on a colored bowl the hinge doesn't stand out, and there's no metal at the mounting point to corrode or stain the china in a wet, heavily cleaned restroom.
11) Is the Bemis 1200SLOWT made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, and Bemis states the seat is designed and assembled in the USA using eco-friendly materials and processes. For public agency, school district, and other procurement that scores domestic content or sustainability, that's the line item to point at.
