A standard toilet is a common fixture found in most homes and public restrooms. It typically consists of a bowl, a tank, and a seat. When flushed, water from the tank flows into the bowl, carrying waste through a drain. Standard toilets are designed to use a specific amount of water per flush, usually around 1.6 gallons, to promote efficient waste removal. These toilets can be made from various materials, with porcelain being the most popular due to its durability and ease of cleaning. Standard toilets come in different styles and heights to accommodate various user preferences and needs, including options for ADA compliance for accessibility.
