2171 specifications

The American Standard 2171 is a high-performance toilet that embodies innovation and efficiency. Designed for both comfort and functionality, this model stands out in the crowded market of bathroom fixtures. Built with quality materials and advanced technologies, it offers homeowners both reliability and style.

One of the key features of the American Standard 2171 is its WaterSense certification, which indicates that it meets the Environmental Protection Agency's standards for water efficiency. This toilet uses only 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF), significantly reducing water usage compared to traditional models that often use 1.6 GPF or more. This not only conserves water but can also lead to lower utility bills over time.

The American Standard 2171 incorporates the revolutionary EverClean surface, which is a unique, patented glaze that helps keep the bowl cleaner for longer. This technology inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, ensuring that the toilet remains hygienic and requires less frequent cleaning. This is particularly beneficial for families and individuals who lead busy lives and prefer reduced maintenance tasks.

Comfort is another premium aspect of the 2171 model, featuring a taller height that is suitable for taller users and those with mobility issues. This comfort-height design makes it easier to sit down and stand up from the toilet, offering a significant improvement over standard heights and making it an ideal choice for various demographics, including the elderly.

The toilet employs an efficient siphonic flush system, which provides a powerful and quiet flush, ensuring waste is removed effectively. This innovative flushing mechanism also contributes to the toilet’s overall efficiency, as it minimizes the amount of water needed per flush while maximizing performance.

In terms of design, the American Standard 2171 offers a sleek and modern look that can fit seamlessly into a range of bathroom styles, from contemporary to traditional. The unit is available in various finishes, allowing homeowners to choose one that conforms to their personal aesthetic.

Overall, the American Standard 2171 combines cutting-edge technology, environmental consciousness, and user-focused design. With its commitment to water efficiency, advanced cleaning surface, and comfort-oriented features, it serves as an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom while also making a positive impact on their water usage.
