Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "What does 'will fit' mean? How can I be sure one of these seats actually will fit my toilet?"
A. "Will fit" is a term used to describe parts (including toilet seats) that are not made by the original manufacturer, but that are designed to fulfill the same function and fit the same way. The toilet seat you will receive is made by Bemis, the leading toilet seat manufacturer, and is designed to accommodate the majority of round front or elongated front toilet bowls found in the United States. Due to the need to fit many different models of toilets, the dimensions for these seats may not match 100% perfectly with your old seat.
As long as the toilet seat fits securely onto the rim of your toilet bowl without too much overlap, the seat should work for your toilet. If the seat is too short and there is exposed porcelain, most likely the wrong style was ordered and you may need an elongated seat. Of course, keep in mind that some toilet models are unique and a regular style seat simply won't fit.
We recommend measuring your old seat or your toilet bowl and comparing the dimensions to those listed prior to ordering. If the measurements are within 1/2" of each other, the desired seat will most likely work for your toilet model. If not, we encourage you to browse our selection of other toilet seats, as we offer a variety of uniquely sized or different style toilet seats and may have something else to fit your particular model.
