When you enter the restroom of a public building, i.e., the movie theater, a school, or a grocery store, the toilet system you see is typically standard throughout all commercial bathroom installations. The look is very similar industry-wide. A commercial-grade toilet with only one seat (no cover seat) attached to a chrome flush valve that is exposed rather than installed within a toilet tank.

And if you are looking for a complete unit, check out this sensor-operated Sloan toilet with flush valve (20201402).

Residential vs. Commercial Toilets

Though you may be tempted to purchase your toilet just like a residential one, you must understand that commercial and residential toilets are different. There are many differences, and you need to know them to make a good decision. Here are just a few of these differences:

Residential Toilets: These are standard toilets, designed to accommodate 5-10 people. For the most part—unless you buy extremely high-end models—residential toilets will have lower flow rates, lower water pressure, and fewer features to deal with clogs. For the most part, residential toilets have few bells and whistles and are typically tame and low-powered because they aren’t designed to handle high volumes of waste.
Commercial Toilets: Because they are used much more often, the best commercial toilets are designed to be exceptionally strong. They need to handle waste, heavy use, and increased trash, while also conserving water. In fact, even though commercial toilet bowls use more water to flush away waste, they still conserve as much water as possible, making them, in many cases, greener than their residential counterparts. This helps the company save money on water and power bills while cutting back on disposable paper products as well.

Ultimately, the main difference is the power of the toilets, but it’s still important to know what you’re shopping for.

How to Choose a Commercial Toilet

Though the facets we mentioned above are a major component of commercial toilet bowls, not all are built the same. Many of you find out there are no low-flow or water-conserving, which could cost you a lot of money (especially if you have a large company). Even worse, if you purchase commercial ADA toilets without the necessary safeguards, you could face frequent backups and bathroom malfunctions; fortunately, you don’t have to worry about that here. With some of the best commercial toilets on the market, every product in our lineup should meet your commercial needs. All you have to do is choose the one that fits perfectly. A few of the facets that you should keep in mind when choosing are:

Siphonic or Wash Down: Do you want a toilet that completely vacates the bowl after every flush? Or do you want one that is “pushing action only” and only does the job halfway? That’s the main difference between Siphonic and wash down, though both have advantages and drawbacks. Remember that US toilets are mostly siphonic, so most are familiar with and prefer siphonic action.
High Efficiency: While commercial toilets are generally somewhat efficient, there are extremely high-efficiency options that can give you even more savings on your water bill each month.
Cleanliness: Many toilets have surfaces that are easy to clean and are treated with antimicrobial properties. They also have a smooth glaze that prevents soil from adhering to the toilet, keeping it cleaner for longer. If this is important to you, look for the EverClean surface on our toilets.

Flush Valves

Many commercial plumbing contractors have started installing automatic flush valves for public restrooms due to the cleanliness of having a toilet that will flush without having to be triggered manually. Typically, installing an automatic flush valve is more costly but in the long run, the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs. Many consumers prefer automatic flush valves, but the repair costs of automatic units are considerably higher than those of manual valves. When automatics were first introduced, they did not have an option for users to flush the toilet manually when needed. To allow flushing when the automatic function fails, many commercial toilet manufacturers now offer features that let users flush manually at their convenience. At PlumbersStock, we sell both automatic and manual flush valves, so our customers can specify which version they prefer on a case-by-case basis.
