Bemis 955CT 000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bemis 955CT open front toilet seat fit a standard round bowl from another manufacturer?
The 955CT is a round seat built on the standard 5-1/2 inch bolt spread, which is the industry mounting dimension on residential and commercial round-front bowls, so it drops onto most manufacturers' round toilets. The seat itself measures 16.313 inches long by 14.5 inches wide by 2.188 inches high. Check the bowl is round-front and not elongated before you order: an elongated bowl runs roughly two inches longer and the 955CT will sit short on it.
2) Does the Bemis 955CT come with a lid, or is it open front less cover?
No lid. The 955CT is an open front, less cover seat, which is the configuration most commercial and institutional restrooms specify and what plumbing codes generally call for in public facilities. If you are outfitting a residential unit or an executive washroom where a closed front seat with cover is wanted, the 955CT is the wrong part.
3) What is the STA-TITE fastening system on the Bemis 955CT and does it stop seats coming loose?
STA-TITE is Bemis's commercial fastening system, and it is the reason this seat gets specified in high-traffic buildings. It tightens down so the seat does not work loose under use, which is what kills the callback cycle of a maintenance tech going back to the same stall to retighten bolts. Bemis states it cuts installation time by a third. For a property manager or MRO buyer replacing seats across a building, that is the difference between a one-time job and a standing work order.
4) What are check hinges on a commercial toilet seat and why would I want them?
A check hinge limits how far back the seat can travel. On the 955CT the seat stops 11 degrees past vertical, so it cannot fall backward against the tank or the wall. In public restrooms that saves the tank lid, the flush valve and the seat itself from repeated impact, and it keeps the seat from being pushed back far enough to snap the hinge. It is one of the standard institutional-duty features, alongside the open front.
5) Are the toilet seat hinge posts on the Bemis 955CT metal or plastic?
Mixed, and the split matters. The hinge body is plastic, while the posts and pintles are 300-series stainless steel for corrosion resistance. That combination is aimed at wet, frequently cleaned restrooms where plated steel hardware rusts at the bolt. If your spec calls for an all-metal hinge, the 955CT will not meet it.
6) I need to standardize toilet seats across a building. Is the Bemis 955CT the right choice for high traffic restrooms?
For round-bowl fixtures, yes. The 955CT is heavy-duty plastic with molded-in color, stainless posts and pintles, and the STA-TITE fastening that stops the seat loosening, which is the single most common seat complaint in a multi-unit or institutional building. Order it in one color across the building and every replacement after that is a five-and-a-half inch bolt spread and a screwdriver. The one limit: it only covers your round bowls. Elongated fixtures need a different seat.
7) Do I need any extra hardware to install a Bemis 955CT, or does everything come in the box?
The 955CT ships with the STA-TITE commercial fastening hardware, so you are not sourcing bolts, nuts or washers separately. Bemis publishes an installation guide for the seat, and the whole job is a bolt-through at the 5-1/2 inch spread on the bowl. Nothing else is required to complete a straight seat replacement.
8) What colors does the Bemis 955CT round commercial seat come in?
Two: white (955CT 000) and black (955CT 047). Both are molded-in color rather than a surface coating, so scuffs and cleaning chemicals do not wear through to a different color underneath. That is what makes the black practical in a facility where a painted or laminated seat would show every mark.
9) Is the Bemis 955CT toilet seat made in the USA?
The 955CT is made in the US, and Bemis builds it with eco-friendly materials and processes. For government, education and healthcare buyers working to domestic-sourcing or sustainability language in a purchase order, that is the part of the record that usually gets asked for.
10) How much clearance does a Bemis 955CT seat add on top of the bowl?
Seat height is 2.188 inches. That is the figure to use when you are checking clearance under a flush valve handle or a wall-mounted fixture, and when you want the finished seated height on an accessibility-sensitive fixture, since the seat height stacks on top of the bowl rim height.
