| A DEFINING MOMENT One Piece
Body of toilet is one complete unit. This
feature allows for ease of cleaning as well as eliminates those nooks and crannies that
allow germs to hide.
Two Piece
Tank and bowl are produced separately and
then bolted together. Generally less expensive than one piece designs.
Skirted
The toilet base has a smooth side rather
than visible trapway. This allows for ease of cleaning and sleeker styling.
Elongated Bowl
Bowl is oval shaped to provide maximum
comfort and added style.
Round Bowl
Bowl is shaped in the traditional round
fashion for the classic bowl look. The round bowl is perfect for bathrooms with limited
space.
Trapway
The tubing formed into the base of the
toilet bowl through which waste flows. The size of a trapway is critical in the
performance of a toilet. The larger the trapway, the fewer chances there are for clogs.
Flush Valve
This is what releases the water held in a
toilet's tank. It can be found at the bottom of the tank and is activated by the toilet's
flush handle. A larger flush valve increases the water flow rate through a toilet.
Gravity Flush System
Flush system which uses nothing more than
water weight to generate flushing pressure. This traditional flushing system is quiet,
simple, and requires less maintenance than other complex flushing systems.
Pressure Assisted Flush System
Uses a pressurized air tank to assist the
flushing process. Very noisy due to the release of compressed air and water. These systems
are generally more expensive, and can require regular, costly maintenance. |
