American Standard Toilets

American Standard toilets are a practical choice for a Canadian bathroom renovation, whether you are replacing a single fixture or outfitting a whole home. This page brings together series such as Cadet, Champion, Colony and Yorkville, with options that include one-piece and two-piece designs, elongated and round front bowls, standard height and chair height seating, and toilets sold with a seat, less seat or as a bowl only. Colour choices include White, Bone and Linen, so you can match an existing suite or start fresh with a classic look.

Before you choose, think about how the toilet will be used and where it will sit. Chair height bowls are easier to stand up from, while standard height suits smaller users and children. An elongated bowl adds comfort, and a round front saves space in a tight powder room. If your home has a specific rough-in or needs a back outlet connection, read the product name and specifications carefully. Flush ratings such as 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf and 1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf appear in the product titles, and features like EverClean surfaces, lined tanks and pressure assist flushing are noted where they apply.

What to check before you buy

• Measure your rough-in first. Measure from the finished wall to the centre of the floor drain bolts before you order, and confirm the toilet you choose is built for that distance. Back outlet toilets connect through the wall rather than the floor, so check which type your plumbing needs.
• Pick a bowl shape for the space. Elongated bowls are more comfortable but extend further into the room, while round front bowls suit compact bathrooms. Check the clearance to the door, vanity and tub.
• Decide on standard or chair height. Chair height is closer to a standard chair and is easier for taller people or anyone with knee or hip concerns. Standard height works well for children and shorter users.
• Check what is included. Product names note whether a toilet comes with a seat, is sold less seat, or is a bowl only. Plan for a matching seat or tank where needed so the finished install is complete.
• Match the colour carefully. White, Bone and Linen are offered, and off-white shades can differ noticeably. Compare against your existing sink or tub before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a one-piece and a two-piece toilet?

A one-piece toilet has the tank and bowl moulded together, which means fewer seams to clean and a sleeker look. A two-piece toilet has a separate tank and bowl, which is easier to carry and install in stages.

What do the gpf and Lpf numbers in the product names mean?

They show the water used per flush in gallons and litres, for example 1.28 gpf/4.8 Lpf or 1.1 gpf/4.2 Lpf. A lower number uses less water per flush, and the flushing design, such as VorMax or pressure assist, is what moves waste effectively.

Is chair height worth choosing over standard height?

Chair height makes sitting and standing easier for taller adults, seniors and anyone with mobility concerns, which is why it is common in main bathrooms. Standard height is a good fit for children's bathrooms or where shorter users are the priority.
