New No-Tools Toilet from American Standard is Fastest and Easiest to Install

PISCATAWAY, N.J.(March 21, 2012) — The easiest bathroom remodel you’ll ever tackle starts with the new no-tools, high-efficiency Cadet® 3 Ovation™ toilet.

 A do-it-yourselfer’s dream, the sleek one-piece Cadet 3 Ovation from American Standard doesn’t require sawing off long bolts, nor a wrench to tighten bolts. No getting caught short, mid-installation, without the right tools, either. Everything you need is right in the box. Now available at The Home Depot, in select locations.

“Even someone who has never installed a toilet can install a high performance, great flushing American Standard® toilet with confidence,” said James Walsh, vice president and general manager, fixtures.

Designed to fit elongated comfort in the space of a round seat toilet, the Cadet 3 Ovation features the EverClean® Slow Close Seat, which eliminates the loud slamming of standard toilet seats. Both the Cadet 3 Ovation toilet and seat feature the American Standard permanent EverClean surface. A time-saver for cleaning, EverClean inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria on the surface, which means your toilet will stay cleaner longer.

The Cadet 3 Ovation is available in a 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) WaterSense® certified high efficiency model, which uses 20 percent less water than 1.6 gpf standard toilets without sacrificing flusperformance. The toilet has also been independently rated to flush 1,000 grams of solid waste in the Maximum Performance (MaP) test, an independent report of toilet bulk removal performance, for a powerful flushing experience every time.

Available exclusively at The Home Depot, the new Cadet 3 Ovation elongated toilet is available in a one-piece Tall Height™ model with a limited lifetime warranty on chinaware, 5-year warranty on all mechanical parts, and 1-year warranty on the toilet seat. Tall Height designs meet all ADA requirements for accessibility. Suggested retail price is $259.
