Plumbers: What is the best commercial toilet?
I'm building a commercial facility that will see a LOT OF CUSTOMERS, and I anticipate that the restrooms will get heavy use.
I am thinking that I do not want to mess with a residential tank style toilet, and want to buy commercial, automatic flush toilets. I've looked at Toto, American Standard, etc, and have seen them mix and match different toilets, flushometers, etc. What is the best toilet or toilet/ flushometer combination? i want to buy ADA compliant, high efficiency, and preferably self-cleaning toilets because as it is, we'll have to clean the restrooms at least once per hour during peak business times. Thanks! |

This is going to be a high volume retail type of business.
Cleanliness is going to be essential, which is why I want toilets that can flush a baby goat out to the ocean. No clingers, paper, etc mess left in the bowl, and we will have to still clean the floors and sink areas often. I have run on this location something more resembling a local fair, and have dealt with the masses of crowds, which is why I'm thinking a floor mounted, no kidding around toilet spec. I'm also thinking that the urinals are probably going to be American Standard, plain old auto flush fixtures, and a no frills automatic sink faucet. |

I think you will need a 2" main water line to run the tankless flushers. I put in totos with tanks in the restaurant last year and have been pleased.

Don't do waterless urinals.
We have to put ice in them at the building I'm at now just to help keep the stink down.

Flushometers are standard sizes so you can choose any brand for any brand toilet
I personally prefer Sloan Flushometers and Kohler toilets....Sloan is the innovator and I feel stand up the best....they are extremely has to repair down the road

I work at a museum and all our public restrooms are wall mount, seems like a good idea.

He said that the newer plunger style of flushometer restricts flow in order to save water. We decided to go with a Sloan auto-flushing flushometer, and a Toto commercial toilet. My GC prefers American Standard, but I did an owner's over-ride on that one. I also kicked everyone's ass today for trying to put the electrical conduit box called a "gutter" along one of my walls that I need for storage. They did the CAD layout just this morning and realized that it's going to be over 7' long. They were in the middle of using an excavator to make the conduit trench, when I noticed that they were against the wrong wall. I can read plans. Been doing it for over 20 years. I threw a first class fit that Steve Jobs would have been proud of. I let them know that was not OK. Yes, a wall mounted toilet would be easier to clean. But some people are rather large, and frankly I think it's just safer to have the taller ADA compliant floor mounted model. That way I don't have to worry about people who need the Caterpillar (R) brand toilet to support their heavy ass. Last edited by rusnak; 03-30-2017 at 05:52 PM.. |

I need a few advanced tough toilet need for my office. Toilet use at home and office isn't the same. We don't treat office toilet like the home toilet. So, it could damage quickly if I don't use tough toilet here. What's your advice guys? I just read this: Best Toto Toilet Reviews(10 Most Popular & Top Selling List of 2018) review. Personally, I have experienced with Toto toilet. Thus, I am looking at the recent list of Toto toilet. Is this a good toilet brand for commercial too?
