The New Octave skirted toilet uses the same geometric design fashioned into a bold, modern form as the original unit, however, the New Octave’s unique lines immediately distinguish modern bathroom environments. With chair height and elongated dimensions, the Octave also emphasizes comfort and utility. Featuring Icera’s EcoQuattro flushing technology, the Octave is 30-50% more efficient than most toilets. Plus, the skirted trapway facilitates cleaning and installs easily over existing floorboards for remodeling. The Octave is EPA WaterSense-compliant, using only 1.28 gallons per flush and capable of clearing over 1,000 grams MaP in independent testing (as compared to an industry average of only 350 grams). Clogging is virtually eliminated with an oversized 2-1/8″ trapway (larger than industry standard). Best of all, the flush mechanism is quiet. A premium, “silent close” toilet seat is included. The package also includes all accessories needed for in-home installation (basic tools are required) and comes with an installation guide.
