Kohler Toilets

Kohler toilets on this page cover one-piece, two-piece, smart and wall-hung designs, so you can match the look of your bathroom and the way you prefer to clean and maintain a fixture. Examples include the Highline two-piece elongated toilet, the Wellworth two-piece round-front toilet and the Veil one-piece compact elongated smart toilet. Colour options such as White, Biscuit, Ice Grey and Dune are offered, which helps when you are coordinating with an existing sink, tub or tile.

Before you choose, measure the rough-in from the finished wall to the centre of the drain, and note how much clear space you have in front of the bowl and to each side. Think about whether a skirted trapway, which covers the exposed trap for easier wiping, matters to you, and whether you prefer dual-flush or a single flush. If a smart toilet is on your list, check that there is a power outlet within reach of the fixture. Series names such as Kelston, Kingston and Reach give you a familiar starting point as you compare bowl shapes, tank styles and colours.

What to check before you buy

• Measure the rough-in first. Measure from the finished wall to the centre of the drain before you shop. This single measurement decides which toilets will sit properly in your space.
• Round-front or elongated bowl. Elongated bowls give a bit more seating room, while round-front bowls take up less floor space. Check the clearance in front of the bowl, especially in a small powder room or when a door swings nearby.
• One-piece or two-piece design. A one-piece toilet has no seam between tank and bowl, which makes wiping down easier. A two-piece toilet arrives in separate parts, which can be simpler to carry up stairs and install.
• Skirted trapway for easier cleaning. A skirted trapway hides the curves at the base of the toilet behind a smooth surface. If you dislike scrubbing around the trap, this is worth looking for.
• Power and plumbing for smart toilets. Smart toilets need an electrical outlet close to the fixture, and wall-hung models rely on an in-wall tank and carrier. Confirm what is behind your wall before committing.

Frequently asked questions

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

A one-piece toilet has the tank and bowl moulded together, so there is no joint to collect grime. A two-piece toilet has a separate tank that bolts to the bowl, which is often easier to handle during installation.

Do Kohler smart toilets need an electrical outlet?

Yes, a smart toilet needs power for features such as heated seating and washing functions. Plan for an outlet near the toilet, and have an electrician add one if your bathroom does not have it.

How do I know which rough-in I need?

Measure from the finished wall behind the toilet to the centre of the closet bolts or drain. Use that measurement, not the size of your old toilet, to compare models.
