The American Standard 4453 and 4454 are high-quality toilets designed to provide both comfort and efficiency for users. These models exemplify the brand’s commitment to innovation in bathroom fixtures, highlighting advanced technologies and practical features that enhance the overall user experience.

One of the standout features of both the 4453 and 4454 is their WaterSense certification, which indicates that they meet strict criteria set by the Environmental Protection Agency for water efficiency. These toilets use just 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), significantly lower than traditional models that often consume 1.6 gpf or more. This not only helps reduce water bills but also contributes to water conservation efforts, making these toilets an environmentally friendly choice.

The height of these toilets is another notable feature; they are designed with a comfortable height, making them accessible and easier to use for both children and adults.

The technologies integrated into the 4453 and 4454 include the EverClean surface, which helps to resist stains and growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. This unique feature ensures that the toilet remains cleaner for longer periods, reducing the time and effort needed for maintenance. Additionally, both models utilize a siphon jet design for efficient waste removal, providing a powerful flush that leaves the bowl clean without the need for excessive water usage.

Installation is streamlined for the 4453 and 4454, as they are compatible with standard plumbing setups, making it easier for homeowners or plumbers to install these units without additional modifications.
