Design / Materials
The A.S. 2889.216.020 is a conventionally shaped two piece toilet made from vitreous china with an AS EverClean surface. This surface is designed to stay clean longer with reduced need for manual cleaning. The toilet has a rounded bowl, meaning that the toilet does not protrude from the wall as much as elongated bowls.
Flushing System
The toilet has a dual flush system using 1.6 GPF for the full flush and 1 GPF for the partial flush. There are two chrome plated push buttons on the top of the tank to operate the flush. The flushing action is enhanced by American Standard’s H2Option Siphonic flushing system which is a high efficiency pressurized flushing action.

Cleaning
The highly efficient flush system combined with the EverClean surface leads to the need to manually clean the American Standard 2889.216.020 quite as often as one would need to with older toilets. The pressurized water from each flush is forced out of a series of holes in the rim to give improved scouring and pressure washing of the bowl.
Consumption
Even though the full flush uses more than the Water Sense specification of 1.28 GPF, as this is a dual flush toilet the testing is different. The test is based on the average of two partial flushes and one full flush. The 2889.216.020 meets these specifications and therefore, in many areas buying a 2889.216.020 will mean that you are eligible for rebates from your water supplier. Check here to see if you are in an eligible area.
Ease of Installation
The toilet uses an industry standard 12” rough in to the waste pipe. Although the installation is very much similar to most two-piece toilets, this toilet comes with the bolts and grommets pre-installed. This pre-installation saves time when installing the toilet.
