Bemis 19170PLE4 000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do Bemis toilet seats keep working loose, and what does STA-TITE actually do about it?
The loosening problem is the reason this seat uses the STA-TITE Seat Fastening System. It is a fastener that draws the seat down tight against the china and stays there, rather than a nut on a bolt that backs off each time someone shifts their weight. Super Grip Bumpers on the underside add the second half of the fix by gripping the bowl so the seat does not rotate or slide. For anyone maintaining a portfolio of units, that combination is what cuts the repeat service call to retighten a seat.
2) Is the Bemis Alesio seat wood or plastic, and which holds up better in a rental unit?
Enameled wood, not plastic. A high density wood core with a high-gloss enameled surface gives it more mass and rigidity underfoot than a molded plastic seat, and the gloss is matched to the look of a ceramic bowl. The tradeoff is the one every property manager already knows: a wood seat's finish is a coating, so deep gouges or harsh abrasives will break through it, where a solid plastic seat is the same material all the way down. For turnovers and residential-grade traffic where appearance matters, the wood seat is the one that matches the china. For heavy public-restroom abuse, a plastic seat takes more punishment.
3) Can you take the Bemis Alesio seat off to clean around the bolts?
Yes, and that is a designed feature rather than a workaround. The Easy Clean hinge releases the seat from the mounting so it lifts off, letting a cleaner get at the hinge area and the top of the bowl, then drops back on. Housekeeping in hospitality, healthcare, and multi-family settings is usually the reason this matters, since the joint behind the hinge is the spot that never gets properly cleaned on a fixed seat.
4) Is the Bemis Alesio a slow close seat?
It uses the Whisper Close hinge, so the lid and ring lower under their own damping instead of dropping. No slam, and no pinched fingers, which is the practical argument for it in family housing and any facility with children. Push it down and let go, it travels the rest of the way on its own. Forcing it closed by hand defeats the damper and is the usual way these hinges get damaged.
5) Do I need any extra hardware to install the Bemis Alesio seat?
No extra parts. The STA-TITE fastening hardware comes with the seat and installs by hand from above the bowl, so there is no reaching up behind the china with a wrench and no trip to pick up bolts. Bemis publishes an installation guide and a spec sheet for the 19170PLE4 if you want the sequence in front of you before you start a run of units.
6) What colors does the Bemis 19170PLE4 Alesio come in?
Two: White and Biscuit. The hinges are color-matched to the seat, so there is no white plastic hinge sitting on a biscuit seat. If you are standardizing across a building, pick by the china you already have, most commercial and multi-family fixtures are white, and biscuit shows up on older or higher-spec residential china.
7) How thick is the Bemis 19170PLE4 seat, and will it clear a bidet attachment or a concealed trapway bowl?
The seat stands 2.063 inches high at the hinge, and the ring is 18.625 by 14.125 inches. That height figure is what you need if you are stacking a non-electric bidet plate under the seat or checking clearance against a tank lid that sits close behind the bowl. Measure from the top of the china at the bolt holes and compare against 2.063 inches before you commit to an under-seat accessory.
8) Are the hinges on the Bemis Alesio metal or plastic?
Plastic, color-matched to the seat. That is the right call in a wet environment, since plastic will not corrode or stain the china the way a chromed metal hinge can once the plating fails. If your specification calls out metal hinges for a public restroom, this is not the seat for that spec.
