Saniflo Offers New, More Contemporary-Looking China Bowls for Selected Macerating Toilet SystemsWaterSense®, high-efficiency models (1.28 GPF), with either elongated or round fronts, will be offered with Saniplus, Saniaccess2, Saniaccess3 and Sanibest Pro macerating plumbing systems.
Saniflo U.S.A. has unveiled two new, vitreous china, floor-mounted toilet bowls with an updated and contemporary styling, the better to complement modern bathroom design. Available in white with either an elongated or round front, the new bowls are being combined with four current Saniflo macerating plumbing systems: Saniplus, Saniaccess2, Saniaccess3 and Sanibest Pro.
Clean and highly efficient
Saniflo vitreous china toilets are designed for durability, with a high-gloss finish that is easy to keep clean and fresh. Both toilets are high-efficiency, meeting the WaterSense® labeling criteria of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and using only 1.28 gallons per flush (1.28 GPF).
Carrying a one-year warranty, both units feature a wash-down-style flushing action with a 3-inch trapway. The vitreous china toilet tank used with both bowls is insulated at the factory to minimize water droplets created by condensation. Inside is a flush valve with a silicone flapper seal that also has a one-year warranty.
Both the elongated and round-front toilet bowls have a floor-to-rim height of 16.75 inches, enhancing user comfort and convenience. The elongated model, which measures 28.75 inches deep, complies with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because of its shape and height.
Both new china units feature stylish, soft-close toilet seats (photo right) that are included with the fully assembled bowl and tank along with all the other necessary hardware to complete the installation.
How Maceration Works
The integral P-trap of the bowl evacuates through a spigot outlet in the rear of either new bowl, rather than at the bottom, as with a conventional toilet bowl. This configuration permits connection with the Saniflo macerator, located behind the bowl — either between it and the wall, or concealed behind the wall with the use of Saniflo’s special extension pipe. For the first time, this pipe includes paintable decorative trim for a cleaner finish to the installation where the pipe penetrates the wall.
Saniflo macerators quickly and quietly reduce incoming solid and liquid effluent from the toilet bowl before discharging it vertically through small-diameter piping to a sewer or septic line. These above-floor plumbing systems allow home and building owners to create bathrooms wherever they are needed, even where no below-floor drainage exists — thus avoiding the hassle and expense of breaking through floors.
Dimensions, Compliances
The nominal dimensions of the new bowls are 31 inches high (tank to floor), 17.75 inches wide, and either 27 inches (round front) or 28.75 inches (elongated) deep (bowl edge to tank back). These dimensions and the hydraulic performance of the bowls meet or exceed the following specificationss:
- ANSI/ASME A112.19.2M and CAN/CSA B45 requirements;I
- APMO/UPC Certificate of Listing;
- EPA WaterSense certification.

Veil toilet offers bidet functionality in a sleek, modern design
A recent Houzz study reveals that the leading two elements of bathroom design among homeowners are style and ease of cleaning, and that bidets are increasingly considered for bathroom remodels. Kohler’s new Veil Intelligent toilet boasts this trifecta, sophisticated style, ease of cleanliness and bidet technology, in a sleek, contemporary fashion. With its clean, refined design lines and concealed tank, the Veil toilet offers smart toilet functionality with minimal aesthetic interruption to the overall bathroom space.
Veil includes features such as automatic opening/closing lid and flushing to minimize touch points, easing user’s concerns about spreading germs in the bathroom. The new Veil Intelligent toilet uses cutting-edge technology to provide comfort features including integrated bidet functionality in a seamless manner, packaging these personal hygiene features in a design that is both unassuming and approachable.
“From an early age, we are taught a toilet routine, however, as standards for personal cleanliness increase, American consumers are learning there is a better way to achieve personal hygiene,” says Shane Allis, marketing director of Kohler sanitary products. “Bidet functionality has been a growing trend as American consumers learn it provides a more thorough and hygienic level of cleanliness compared to the traditional toilet routine but consumers are not willing to sacrifice design. The Veil Intelligent toilet offers the best of both worlds.”
A stainless steel bidet wand offers warm water cleaning with adjustable spray shape, position, water pressure, temperature, pulsate, and oscillate functions for anterior and posterior positions. A soothing warm-air drying system with adjustable temperature settings provides additional comfort. The self-cleaning function uses UV light and electrolyzed water systems to sanitize the bidet wand surfaces.
Incorporating Kohler’s popular French Curve toilet seat design, this toilet provides an ergonomically designed experience to minimize pressure points and enhance comfort.
Veil’s touch screen remote control offers complete customization from its full menu of cleansing and comfort features including adjustable water temperature, bidet wand position and function type, heated seat, dryer, deodorizer, night light and flush control.
The Veil toilet by Kohler is equipped with an exceptional flushing system featuring a rimless bowl for a cleaner flush, dual jets to create a strong siphon for efficient flushing and powerful water flow to eliminate bowl residue. Offered with both 1.28-gallon and 0.8-gallon eco flush options, the Veil Intelligent toilet saves as much as 6,000 gallons of water annually over a standard 1.6-gallon toilet.

TOTO, the largest plumbing manufacturer in the world with $5.1 billion in annual sales, announced today that its latest technologically-advanced plumbing products are featured this season on The Kardashians mega-hit reality series. A storyline follows TV personalities and fashion trendsetters Kylie and Kris Jenner as they select TOTO products to make an elegant contemporary design statement in their master bath renovations and the glam bath Kylie designed for her new multimillion dollar home.
In The Kardashians’ episode that premiered Sunday, January 24th at 9PM E/P, Kylie and Kris visit TOTO’s West Hollywood Gallery to shop for products. President of Operations for the Americas Bill Strang met with the fashion icons to discuss the company’s forward-looking approach to product design.
“We were pleased to introduce Kylie and Kris Jenner to TOTO’s latest innovations,” said Strang. “We design TOTO products to make people’s lives cleaner, healthier, less complicated and more beautiful by seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with elegant, high design.”
As Strang escorted Kris and Kylie around the TOTO Gallery, he offered insights into which TOTO products would best suit their individual bath spaces. The two style mavens immediately gravitated toward the elegant design of the technologically-advanced NEOREST 750H with Actilight, which now graces both their master bathrooms.
During the TOTO Gallery shopping trip, Kylie also selected the company’s high-luxe products for her glam bath, including the high-style Luminist Round Vessel Lavatories with LED Lighting, elegant Helix Wall-Mount EcoPower Sensor Faucets, chic Eco Soirée High-Efficiency 1.28 gpf Toilet, high-tech Washlet S350e personal cleansing system with eWater+, classically modern Aero Rainshower System, stylish Gyrostream Body Sprays, and elegant NEOREST Accessories.
