Rear outlet UHET toilet
Niagara Conservation’s Stealth rear outlet ultra-high-efficiency-toilet gives renovators and remodelers a solution that doesn’t require tearing down walls. The UHET is EPA WaterSense-labeled and was awarded the MaP Premium label for performance and efficiency. It features a push button flush and uses 37% less water per flush than a standard 1.28 GPF model. Compared to the average use of older 3.5-gpf toilets, the Stealth can save up to 15,000 gal. of water per year. Niagara Conservation.

Manual flushometer toilet

The systems offer drainline carry and can flush 800 grams of waste. The flush valve features a self-cleaning piston with an integral wiper spring that cleans the refill orifice with every flush. The valve also includes failsafe piston valves and an ADA-compliant, non-hold-open handle that provides an automatic shut off after every flush. American Standard.
