Product Information
Full details
The Bemis Open Toilet Seat in Elongated Black is designed for commercial applications, offering durability and a secure fit for high-traffic restrooms. Its key benefit is the STA-TITE Commercial Fastening System, which ensures the seat remains stable and prevents callbacks due to loose fittings. A potential consideration is its specific design for elongated toilets, meaning it won't fit round bowls.

FAQs
What type of toilets does this seat fit?
This seat is specifically designed for elongated toilet bowls. It is compatible with most major brands such as Kohler, American Standard, and TOTO.
How does the STA-TITE system work?
The STA-TITE system is a unique fastening method that installs with a simple snap. Once engaged, it provides a secure, wobble-free fit that will not loosen over time, eliminating the need for re-tightening.
Is this seat suitable for residential use?
While designed for commercial applications, its durability and secure fit can also be beneficial in residential settings. However, the open-front design is typically preferred for public or commercial use.
What are the seat posts and pintles made of?
The posts and pintles are made of 300 series stainless steel, which is non-corrosive and resistant to rust and stains.
How should I clean the toilet seat?
Clean the seat with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to prevent damage and staining.
Can I buy this seat in other colors or shapes?
Yes, Bemis offers this model in different colors and shapes (round vs. elongated), as well as in multi-packs. Please check other product listings for available variants.
Where is this product manufactured?
This Bemis toilet seat is proudly made in the USA using environmentally friendly materials and processes.
Troubleshooting
Seat is loose or wobbly after installation.
Ensure the STA-TITE system snapped correctly into place. Lift the seat slightly and press down firmly again on both sides until a definite "snap" is felt. Verify that the seat is indeed for an elongated toilet bowl, as it will not fit properly on a round bowl.
Hinge hardware appears to be corroding.
This seat features 300 series stainless steel posts and pintles, which are designed to be non-corrosive. If you observe rust or corrosion, double-check the material of the installed hardware. If it is indeed corroding, contact customer support as this is not expected behavior.
Seat is difficult to clean or shows stains.
Use only mild soap and a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface and lead to staining. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive household cleaner may be used sparingly.
