2474 specifications

The American Standard 2474 is a highly regarded toilet model known for its innovative design, efficiency, and comfort. This two-piece toilet is available in various styles and colors, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any bathroom decor while providing a touch of elegance.

One of the standout features of the American Standard 2474 is its powerful flushing system, which employs the patented EverClean surface. This advanced technology promotes hygiene by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold on the toilet's surface, ensuring that the toilet stays cleaner for longer periods. The EverClean surface also makes cleaning easier, as residues and stains are less likely to adhere to the ceramic finish.

The toilet utilizes a dual flush system, offering users the option between a full flush for solid waste and a reduced flush for liquid waste. This water-saving feature not only helps conserve water but also promotes eco-friendliness in households. The American Standard 2474 has an efficient flush rate, using only 1.6 gallons per flush for solids and 1.1 gallons for liquids, making it compliant with modern environmental standards and providing significant water savings over time.

In terms of comfort, the seat height of the American Standard 2474 is designed to cater to a wide range of users. Its ADA-compliant height makes it accessible for individuals with mobility challenges, ensuring a comfortable experience for all. The toilet's elongated bowl design also contributes to comfort, providing extra room and support for users.

Installation of the American Standard 2474 is straightforward, as it is designed to fit standard bathroom environments. Its durable construction ensures longevity, while the ceramic material is resistant to chipping and fading, maintaining its aesthetic appeal over years of use.

With its combination of stylish design, advanced flushing technology, and conscious water usage, the American Standard 2474 stands out as a top choice for homeowners seeking a reliable, efficient, and comfortable toilet. Its unique features cater to both practical and aesthetic needs, making it an ideal addition to any modern bathroom.
