Review: Good quality, nice features, stronger design than the original - The previous, original toilet seat on our American Standard Cadet toilet broke outright near the left hinge point after about 10 years of use. This was NOT a slow close lid. The new one is. Neither of them have a feature allowing quick detachment for cleaning like the more expensive lids do. I was quite surprised to see the old seat broken but, in truth, my wife was sitting on top of the lid, not the seat, drying herself after a bath when it happened. She said it suddenly twisted then broke and she almost fell to the floor. She's average height and weight. Regardless the manufacturer may have something to say like: Please don't sit on top of the lid, it's not designed for that. And I would agree with that. I expect that she leaned to one side or the other, while drying herself, and the feet under the lid slipped sideways causing the twist. The torque on the hinge would have been huge even for a person weighing 140 pounds so I don't blame the manufacture for this. I took a good look at the replacement I ordered and the plastic is much thicker around the hinge points so perhaps the manufacturer noticed and improved the design and hopefully this one won't break. The feet under the lid and seat also seem stickier than on the old one so twisting due to shifting weight seems less likely. I'll give it 5 stars for now :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the inside hole dimensions not the outgide dimensions?**
A: This seat opening measures 8" at the widest point and 12" at the longest point. Sincerely, Your American Standard Consumer Connection Team.

**Q: Will this fit American Standard model 4225A?**
A: Hello,
   The 4225A is your tank number, so it would depend on the bowl you have. If you have a standard, elongated bowl, this seat will work.
Thank you,
Your Consumer Connections Team

**Q: Will this fit on a american standard with 6.0 lpf and 1.6 gpf ?**
A: The numbers that you are providing are only the liters and gallons per flush of the toilet. That doesn't indicate what shape of bowl you have. This seat fits on a standard elongated toilet bowl. Sincerely, Your American Standard Consumer Connection Team

**Q: What is the length of the seat from the center of the bolt holes to the front edge of the seat?**
A: About 18 1/2 inches. This fit all 3 of my toilets.
