Elongated industrial toilet seat
The Bemis 1955SSCT 047 is an open-front toilet seat without a cover, designed for elongated bowls in commercial and institutional restrooms. Its black finish suits high-traffic environments where durability and a clean appearance are required. The seat installs on standard elongated fixtures using the supplied hardware.
Self-sustaining check hinge operation
The hinge combines plastic and stainless steel components with a self-sustaining check mechanism that holds the seat in the raised position without manual support. This design reduces contact with the bowl rim and allows the seat to stay up during cleaning or maintenance. No hydraulic dampers or soft-close hardware are included.
Hardware and mounting included
Stainless steel mounting bolts and plastic hinge brackets are supplied for direct attachment to the bowl. The seat height measures 2 3/8 inches and the bolt-to-front distance is 18 9/16 inches. No cover, additional fasteners or specialised tools are provided.

Questions about this item
How do I install the self-sustaining check hinge on this elongated seat, and which step do people get wrong?
Align the stainless-steel hinge posts with the bowl mounting holes, insert the supplied bolts, and tighten until the hinge stops moving on its own — the step most people skip is verifying that the self-sustaining mechanism holds the seat open without manual support.
What maintenance or replacement will the plastic and stainless-steel hinge need later?
The hinge combines plastic and stainless steel; inspect the plastic bushings annually for cracking and lubricate the stainless pivot points with silicone grease — replace the entire hinge assembly if the self-sustaining action no longer holds the seat at 2 3/8 in height.
What limit appears first on this seat during sustained heavy use?
The open-front design and 18 9/16 in bolt-to-front dimension concentrate stress on the plastic hinge bushings, so bushing wear and loss of self-sustaining tension typically show up before the stainless-steel posts or the black finish degrade.
