Pioneering Heritage VorMax Toilet Delivers The Cleanest Flush Ever Engineered

NEW YORK, ICFF (May 14, 2016) ― Top to bottom cleaning that is virtually effortless – that's how the Heritage VorMax toilet from American Standard reinvents the bowl cleaning experience.

Eliminating the traditional tiny rim holes around the bowl that carry water during a flush, the VorMax flush delivers one powerful jet of water that scrubs the entire bowl completely clean. This high efficiency toilet (HET) removes all splatter, skid marks and clinging waste using only 1.28 gallons of water per flush (gpf). That means less time, money and elbow grease spent on toilet bowl maintenance and cleaning supplies.

The Heritage VorMax toilet is easy to keep sparkling between routine cleanings. Its CleanCurve Rim omits the rim overhang and holes inside the bowl where dirt and buildup can hide. Plus, its EverClean antimicrobial finish inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface. The result: no more worries about a tidy toilet. Let those unexpected guests drop in, anytime.

The Cleanest Flush, Ever

The innovative VorMax flushing system has been independently verified to clean the bowl two times better than conventional toilets*. The Heritage VorMax toilet’s flushing action allows water to powerfully scour every square inch of the bowl, even the hard-to-reach spots under the rim.

VorMax Saves Water, Powerfully

The Heritage VorMax toilet achieves the highest bulk removal score on the Maximum Performance (MaP) test, an independent report of toilet performance. This HET can successfully flush 1,000 grams (2.2 pounds) of waste while using a water-saving 1.28 gpf. It has earned WaterSense-certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for providing high performance while using 20 percent less water than traditional 1.6 gpf toilets.

Convenient Features

The Heritage VorMax toilet provides personalized comfort with its Right Height (16 1/2-inch) elongated bowl configuration. It comes with an EZ-Install kit designed to ensure simple, easy installation. Plus, it is covered by a limited lifetime warranty on the chinaware and a 10-year limited warranty on tank parts. The matching toilet seat, which is purchased separately, has a limited one-year warranty.

To create a coordinating bathroom suite, the oval Kipling freestanding soaking tub and regal Retrospect pedestal sink are handsome fixtures complementing the design lines of the Heritage VorMax toilet. The Old World elegance of the Quentin lavatory faucets completes this traditional bath design space.

The VorMax toilet line was named a 2015 GOOD DESIGN award recipient in the Bath category for design excellence. The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design annually presents the prestigious GOOD DESIGN Award for the most innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product, and graphic designs produced around the world.

The Heritage VorMax is available at kitchen and bath showrooms and wholesalers nationwide. Prices range from $499 to $625, depending on configuration and color choice of white or linen.
