Mayfair by Bemis 19601CP Mayfair Elongated Natural Reflections Wood Veneer Toilet Seat with Chrome Hinge

The 19601CP is built for elongated bowls and fits most manufacturers' elongated toilets. The seat measures 18.563 inches long by 14.5 inches wide, with a 5.5 inch bolt spread, which is the standard two-bolt hole spacing on residential and commercial bowls. Measure your bowl from the center of the mounting bolt holes to the front rim; an elongated bowl runs roughly 18-1/2 inches, a round bowl about 16-1/2. If yours measures round, this seat will overhang and you need a round front seat instead.

Bolt spread is 5.5 inches, center to center. That is the standard spacing drilled into virtually every two-bolt toilet bowl, so if your existing seat mounts with two bolts through the back of the bowl rim, the hinge on this seat lines up with the same holes. Nothing needs to be redrilled.

The 19601CP uses a molded wood core with a natural wood veneer finish, not solid lumber, which is why it holds a natural oak look without splitting or cracking the way an older solid wood seat does. It ships in a Natural Oak color. For a property manager replacing seats across a building, that matters more than appearance: the failure mode on wood seats is the finish checking at the hinge end, and a veneered wood-finish seat avoids the seasonal movement that causes it.

Metal, in a chrome finish. Plastic hinges are the usual first thing to break on a toilet seat in a high traffic restroom, so the chrome metal hinge is the spec worth checking if you are buying for a rental, an office, or a hospitality property. It also gives you a hinge that visually matches chrome supply stops, flush handles, and grab bars already in the room.

A molded wood seat like the 19601CP is heavier and sits more solidly on the bowl, and it takes a decorative finish, in this case a natural oak veneer, that plastic does not match. Plastic seats are lighter and easier to sanitize aggressively. Where this one earns its place is a unit or a guest bath where appearance counts and you still want a metal hinge rather than plastic. For a heavy-use public restroom with harsh cleaning chemicals, a solid plastic open-front seat is the better call.

No extra hardware. The seat comes with its chrome hinge and mounting bolts, and it goes onto a standard two-bolt bowl at 5.5 inch spacing with hand tools only. Bemis publishes an installation guide for the 19601CP if you want the sequence before you go out to the unit. Plan on removing the old seat first, the nuts under the bowl rim are often corroded and a pair of slip joint pliers or a small hacksaw blade saves the trip back.

One configuration keeps it simple: the 19601CP is elongated only, in Natural Oak, with a chrome hinge, under MPN 19601CP 378. So every unit you fit gets the same seat and the same look, and your maintenance stock is a single part number. The constraint is bowl shape, any round front bowls in the building will need a different seat, since this one is elongated at 18.563 inches long.

Country of origin is the US. That is the field to point at when you are buying against a domestic preference clause on a government, school, or healthcare purchase order, where the seat has to be sourced along with the rest of the fixture package.
