FAQs

What does 'Ultra-Fix' mean for installation?

Ultra-Fix is a patented system where the nut is designed to snap off at the optimal tightening torque. This ensures the seat is perfectly secure and will not loosen over time, simplifying installation and guaranteeing stability.

How do I know if this seat will fit my toilet?

The Bemis Kent seat is designed for universal pans and has an adjustable length range of 421-434 mm. Measure the distance from the center of the bolt holes to the front edge of your toilet bowl to confirm compatibility.

What is the seat made of?

The seat is constructed from virtually unbreakable thermoplastic material, known for its durability and ease of cleaning.

Can I re-tighten the seat if it loosens slightly over time?

The Ultra-Fix system is designed to prevent loosening. Once the nut has snapped off at the optimal torque, it cannot be further tightened. If the seat becomes loose, it usually indicates an installation issue or a need for replacement.

Is the toilet seat easy to clean?

Yes, the thermoplastic material is smooth and non-porous, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period?

All Bemis toilet seats, including the Kent model, are backed by a 2-year warranty.

Are the components recyclable?

Yes, the ring and cover of the Bemis Kent toilet seat are recyclable.

Troubleshooting

Seat is still wobbly after installation.

Ensure the Ultra-Fix nuts were tightened sufficiently until they snapped off. If they snapped off prematurely, ensure the bolts were correctly aligned. Double-check that the seat's length fits within the 421-434mm range for your specific pan.

The Ultra-Fix nut won't snap.

Verify that the bolts are correctly seated and that you are tightening the nut in the intended manner. Ensure no debris is preventing the nut from engaging correctly. If the nut is defective, contact customer support.

Difficulty aligning the seat with the pan.

Adjust the position of the hinges on the bolt holes before fully tightening the Ultra-Fix nuts. The hinges offer some play to help center the seat.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Place the seat hinges over the toilet bolt holes.
  2. Insert the Ultra-Fix bolts through the holes.
  3. On the underside, screw on the Ultra-Fix nuts. Tighten them evenly by hand until the nut bottoms out and snaps off, indicating the optimal torque has been reached. Ensure the seat is straight before the nut snaps.

Compatibility:

  • This seat is designed for universal pans, adjustable for lengths between 421-434 mm. Measure your existing toilet pan length to ensure it falls within this range.
  • Features standard hinge fixing suitable for most common toilet bolt setups.

Care:

  • Clean the seat regularly using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the thermoplastic material.
  • Wipe dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.
