American Standard 3697001.02 Elongated Toilet Bowl

Product Description

The AMERICAN STANDARD 3697001.02 is a vitreous china elongated toilet bowl designed for residential and light commercial bathroom installations. This bowl-only unit features a 16.5-inch rim height, which meets standard comfort-height guidelines, and a 2.125-inch trapway for reliable waste passage. It is finished in white and is intended for plumbers and finish contractors completing rough-in installations or replacing an existing bowl while retaining a compatible tank. The elongated bowl shape provides a larger seating area compared to round-front configurations and is a common specification on commercial and residential plumbing projects.

This toilet bowl is suited for standard floor-mounted toilet installations in residential bathrooms, hotels, and light commercial restrooms. The elongated configuration is frequently specified in ADA-compliant or comfort-height bathroom layouts. Because this is a bowl-only unit, it requires a separately sourced compatible tank and flush valve assembly to complete the installation. Licensed plumbers handling new construction, renovation, or fixture replacement work will find this a straightforward drop-in component for applicable rough-in configurations.

Key Features

• Elongated bowl shape for expanded seating area and broad fixture compatibility
• 16.5-inch rim height aligns with standard and comfort-height installation requirements
• 2.125-inch trapway supports consistent, reliable flushing performance
• White finish for compatibility with standard bathroom fixture color schemes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement elongated toilet bowl for compatible AMERICAN STANDARD tank and flush valve assemblies. Verify rough-in dimension and tank model compatibility before installation, as this is a bowl-only unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and fully drain the existing toilet before removing the old bowl. A new wax ring or wax-free seal should be used at the floor flange any time a toilet bowl is removed and reinstalled. Do not overtighten closet bolts, as this can crack the porcelain base.
