The American Standard Champion 4 is a low-flow water-saving toilet that features an elongated bowl for user comfort, an “EverClean” glazed surface that inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew, and consumes only 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
It’s vitreous china construction can last up to 10 years. It also has a powerful flushing system, and is comfortable and easy to use by people of all ages and sizes, as well as people with disabilities. Its single-piece construction does not require frequent maintenance and the toilet cleans itself during every flush.
A slow close seat is included, but it doesn’t come with a wax ring. The Champion4 is not WaterSense certified, which may be a disadvantage for some people. Apart from that, Champion 4 is an excellent choice for any home.

Installation Notes
Like the American Standard Cadet 3, the American Standard Champion 4 requires a standard 12-inch rough-in for installation. Since the Champion 4 is a one-piece toilet that is heavier than two-piece toilets you will need an extra pair of hands for its installation.
Its Speed Connect tank/bowl coupling system makes the positioning of the tank on the bowl very convenient and effortless so that installation can be completed quickly and easily.
Differences Between Old and New H2Option Toilets
There is little significant difference between old and new H2Option toilets. Each has the same trapway, same valves, and are similar in shape. The main difference between the two types of toilet is in the toilet tank. Current H2Option models have taller tanks than traditional toilets and a lower flush capacity.
