For over 150 years, American Standard has been one of the most trusted names in residential plumbing, engineering toilets that set the benchmark for flush performance, water efficiency, and long-term durability. Founded in 1875, American Standard built its reputation on practical innovation: developing technologies that solve real homeowner problems, from clog-resistant flushing systems to antimicrobial surfaces that resist the growth of mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria. Today, American Standard toilets are found in millions of homes across North America and remain a top choice for homeowners, builders, and plumbing professionals who demand proven performance without compromise.
What sets American Standard toilets apart is their commitment to engineering solutions that work harder with less water. Their lineup includes EPA WaterSense-certified models that use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, significantly less than older 3.5 gpf and 1.6 gpf toilets, without sacrificing the powerful, clog-free performance that American Standard is known for. Proprietary technologies like the Champion® 4-inch flush valve, VorMax® dual-flush action, EverClean® antimicrobial surface, and ActiClean® self-cleaning system are built into specific product lines, giving homeowners meaningful choices based on their priorities: maximum flushing power, easiest cleaning, or most advanced hygiene technology.
American Standard toilets are available in one-piece and two-piece configurations, with a range of bowl heights, shapes, and design profiles to complement any bathroom aesthetic from traditional to transitional to modern. Whether you’re replacing a failing toilet, renovating a bathroom in your Portland, OR home, or specifying fixtures for a new build, American Standard’s lineup offers a solution at every price point backed by one of the most recognized warranty programs in the plumbing industry.

The clog-free standard — powerful 4-inch flush technology engineered to never let you down.
The Champion® series is American Standard’s flagship toilet line and one of the most recognized high-performance toilet collections in the residential plumbing industry. Built around a 4-inch flush valve, the largest in the industry, Champion® toilets move significantly more water per flush than standard 2- or 3-inch valve toilets, creating the powerful siphon action needed to clear the bowl completely in a single flush. The Champion® line has famously been tested to flush a full bucket of golf balls, a demonstration of the flush power that makes these toilets the go-to choice for families, high-traffic bathrooms, and anyone who has dealt with chronic clogging in their Portland, OR home.
The cleanest flush ever engineered — dual-valve technology that scrubs the entire
The VorMax® series represents American Standard’s most advanced approach to bowl cleanliness, featuring a patented dual flush valve system that generates a powerful, top-to-bottom flushing vortex. Unlike traditional flush systems that push water around the rim, VorMax® uses two strategically placed flush valves to create a swirling, high-velocity water action that reaches and rinses every surface of the bowl, including the areas under the rim that standard flushing systems miss. Combined with the CleanCurve® rim design that eliminates hard-to-reach ledges, and the EverClean® antimicrobial surface, VorMax® toilets are engineered to stay visibly cleaner between cleanings with no additional effort from the homeowner.
Say goodbye to the toilet brush — built-in cleaning technology works automatically with every flush.
ActiClean® is American Standard’s most innovative toilet technology — a fully integrated self-cleaning system built directly into the toilet itself. Rather than relying on drop-in tank tablets or rim hangers, ActiClean® uses a cartridge of cleaning solution installed inside the toilet that automatically releases a measured dose of cleaner into the bowl with a dedicated cleaning flush. Homeowners simply press the cleaning flush button when they want the toilet to clean itself, and the ActiClean® system handles the rest – scrubbing and deodorizing the bowl without any manual effort. For Portland, OR households looking to reduce bathroom maintenance time without sacrificing hygiene, ActiClean® offers a genuinely transformative upgrade.
