Bemis 730SLEC 000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bemis 730SLEC fit my round toilet bowl?
The 730SLEC is a round closed front seat sized for standard round bowls: 16.625 inches long, 14.688 inches wide, and it mounts on the industry-standard 5.5 inch bolt spread, which is what round and elongated residential and commercial bowls use for the two seat post holes. Measure your bowl from the center of the mounting bolt holes to the front rim. If that comes out closer to 18-1/2 inches, you have an elongated bowl and this round seat will leave the front of the rim exposed.
2) Does the Bemis 730SLEC work with toilets from other brands, or only Bemis?
Bemis does not make toilets, and the 730SLEC is a universal-fit replacement seat that mounts to most manufacturers' round bowls. What actually decides fit is the hardware pattern, not the brand on the china: the seat uses the 5.5 inch bolt spread that round bowls are drilled to. If your bowl has two standard post holes on that spacing and a round rim, the seat mounts.
3) Can you take the seat off to clean around the hinges without unbolting the toilet seat hardware?
Yes, that is the point of the Easy Clean hinge on the 730SLEC. The seat releases from the hinge posts so you can lift the whole ring and cover away, clean the bowl rim and the base of the posts, and snap it back on without tools and without disturbing the mounting bolts. For a property manager doing turns or a janitorial crew working a public restroom, that is the difference between a two-minute wipe-down and pulling hardware.
4) What does Whisper Close actually do on the Bemis 730SLEC, and is it worth it in a rental unit?
Whisper Close is a damped hinge: push the ring or the cover and it lowers itself slowly instead of dropping. Both the ring and the cover are damped, not just the lid. In multi-family and hospitality the payoff is less about noise and more about breakage and pinched fingers, since a slammed seat is what cracks the ring and generates the callback. There is no adjustment to set, the damping is built into the hinge.
5) What colors does the Bemis 730SLEC round seat come in?
Three: White (730SLEC 000), Bone (730SLEC 006), and Biscuit (730SLEC 346). The color is molded into the plastic rather than sprayed on, so a scuff does not show a different color underneath, and the bumpers and hinges are color-matched to the seat. Bone and Biscuit are distinct shades, so if you are matching existing fixtures across a building, order one and hold it against the china before you commit to the rest.
6) Should I buy a plastic or a wood toilet seat for a rental or commercial restroom?
Plastic is the one to take where the seat gets cleaned hard and often. The 730SLEC is molded plastic with the color through the material, so chemical cleaners and abrasion do not strip a finish off it the way they lift the enamel on a molded wood seat. Wood seats are heavier and feel more solid underfoot, which is why they show up in owner-occupied bathrooms, but the painted surface chips at the hinge posts and the bumper contacts. For turns, public restrooms, and anywhere a custodial crew is using a quat or bleach solution daily, plastic lasts longer.
7) How thick is the Bemis 730SLEC seat, and will it clear a tank lid or a bidet attachment?
Seat height on the 730SLEC is 1.938 inches, just under two inches with the ring and cover stacked and closed. Two places that number matters: a cover that has to swing back against a tank with a lever or a raised lid needs that clearance behind the hinge, and a non-electric bidet plate installed under the seat adds its own thickness on top of the 1.938 inches. If you already have a bidet plate on the bowl, account for both before you decide the cover will still sit flat.
8) Are the hinges on the Bemis 730SLEC metal or plastic?
Plastic. The hinges on the 730SLEC are plastic and color-matched to the seat, which is the usual pairing on a residential-grade slow-close seat and part of why the seat releases from the posts by hand. If your specification calls for stainless or zinc hinge hardware, typically for heavy-traffic institutional restrooms where the seat gets yanked, this is not the seat for that opening.
9) Is the Bemis 730SLEC made in the USA?
Country of origin on the 730SLEC is the US, and Bemis states the seat is designed and assembled in the USA. That matters on government, school, and other publicly funded jobs where domestic-origin language shows up in the purchase order.
10) Do I need any extra hardware to install the Bemis 730SLEC, and is there an installation guide?
No extra hardware. The 730SLEC ships with its own mounting hardware and bumpers, and it goes on the two existing bolt holes at 5.5 inch spacing, so nothing gets drilled and no adapter is needed. Bemis publishes an installation guide and a spec sheet for the seat if you want the sequence and the dimensions in hand before the crew goes out.
