2981, 2980 specifications

The American Standard 2981 and 2980 are standout models in the realm of modern toilets, designed to enhance comfort while delivering exceptional performance and efficiency. Both models represent American Standard's commitment to innovation and quality, making them popular choices for homeowners and builders alike.

The American Standard 2981, known for its sleek and contemporary design, features a powerful flushing system that utilizes the company's innovative Right Height technology. This technology offers a higher bowl height, making it easier for users of all ages and abilities to sit down and stand up, thus enhancing the overall experience. The toilet is equipped with a dual flush system that allows users to select between a full flush for solid waste or a lighter flush for liquid waste. This capability promotes water conservation without compromising performance, as it effectively clears the bowl with every flush.

On the other hand, the American Standard 2980 model incorporates similar high-efficiency features with a refined aesthetic appeal. This model also embraces the Right Height design, offering an elevated seating position that caters to user comfort. One of the key characteristics of the 2980 is its clean, streamlined shape, which complements modern bathroom decor seamlessly. Like its counterpart, the 2980 is equipped with a reliable dual flush system, ensuring minimal water consumption while maintaining top-notch flushing power.

Both models are built with a durable, vitreous china material that not only enhances their longevity but also provides an easy-to-clean surface that resists stains and scratches. Another noteworthy feature found in both toilets is the EverClean surface, which actively inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, ensuring a hygienic experience.

Installation is a straightforward process for both the 2981 and 2980, thanks to their standard size and compatibility with most bathroom plumbing setups. Additionally, the low-profile design of the toilets makes them suitable for a variety of bathroom layouts, from compact spaces to larger bathrooms.

Overall, the American Standard 2981 and 2980 toilets are excellent choices for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom with reliable, efficient, and stylish options. Their combination of comfort, sustainability, and innovative technologies ensures that they remain at the forefront of the bathroom fixtures market.
