Top Toilets with Largest Trapway Sizes: No more Clogs!

Toilets can be designed in all kinds of ways, whether it’s a high flow, low flow, one-piece, or two-piece. Toilets with large trap ways provide more space for waste to pass through, hence the term no-clog toilets.

These toilets have outlets as big as three inches in diameter, bigger than the industry size of two inches. They aim to offer a bigger path for waste to drain into the sewer without clogging or leaving waste behind. Some of the best toilets with large trapways include the American Standard Champion, Woodbridge, American Standard Cadet, Toto Drake Ultramax, Toto Promenade, among others.

What they have in common is their large-diameter trapway plus a powerful flush that allows them to carry away even the largest of waste. They’re unlikely to get clogged or have multiple other toilet issues. Below is a detailed look at these toilets, with a guide on features to look for.

Buying Guide

Buying the right toilet can save you a bunch of repairs and maintenance fees for calling a plumber. So here’s a guide in how you. Can buy the best high flow no clog toilet.

What is a Toilet Trapway?

A toilet trapway is the section through which water and waste quit the bowl heading to your sewer system. The trapway is also referred to as an outlet or siphon outlet.

It is a curved, mostly S-shaped, pipe behind the bowl that links the toilet’s drain in the bowl’s bottom to the closet flange on the floor.

The s-shape allows the trapway to hold water between flushes, providing a seal against sewer gases entering through the toilet bowl. It also creates a siphonic effect that helps in the flushing process.Toilet

Trapway sizes range from the industry-standard 2-inch diameter up to the industry-leading 2-3/8-inch diameter. The minimum trapway size that is allowed by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is 1 1/2 inches but most toilets usually have a trapway between 1 3/4 to 2 inches.

The largest trapway toilet has a diameter of 2-3/8-inches and a flush valve measuring 4 inches. It is the champion collection manufactured by the American Standard.

Larger trapways combined with large flush valves provide the best flush performance regardless of the type of matter you’re flushing out.

Concealed Trapway Toilet vs Skirted Trapway

Concealed and skirted trapway toilets both have their siphon outlets covered up. You cannot see the curved siphon tube behind the bowl. This design not only makes it easier to clean the toilet but also improves the look of the toilet.

Although the terms are sometimes used for each other, skirted and concealed differ especially, in how they are designed.  The concealed design has a smooth surface at the back that basically covers the trapway, leaving the bowl to flare out while the skirted design has a smooth, sleek line from front to back, and from the top of the tank to the floor, making it easy to clean.

The following are more factors/features to look for when shopping for high-flow toilets.

High Efficiency

High efficiency toilets maximize performance and reduce any waste and costs incurred. Therefore, you’re looking for toilets that can save your gallons of water and still give you a better flushing power than standard or low-flow models.

Flush Rating and Power

The next feature to look at is the flush rating and power. To start, large trap ways have the best performance since they come with a slightly bigger diameter than the standard of two inches. It could be 2 ⅜ up to three inches wide to offer more passageway for the waste.

The opening valve could also be higher up to four inches. This is great as the larger the opening, the better the performance, hence little to no chances of clogging.

Other brands such as the American Standard will have something called the bulk removal ratings which aids you to choose the type of trap way you want. These have the best compared to other types of toilets.

Another way to gauge the toilet is by looking at the MaP ratings. These are ratings from manufacturers who score a toilet one on a 0-1000 gram scale.

They get this score by using material designed to replace and act similarly to the average-sized human waste, and seeing how the mechanism handles it. The results are often unbiased and build on each model’s capabilities.

Water Consumption and Usage

If you’re looking to save on water consumption, then you have to look at the water usage from the toilet. This is the GPF rating on the toilet read as gallons per flush.

This allows consumers to know how much water is utilized in every flush. 1.6 gallons per flush is more prevalent than 1.28 or 1.1, however, 1.28 is gaining traction as it meets the EPA guidelines that safeguard water usage.

Efficiency also depends on the type of flushing system and mechanism. The following are the most common;

• Gravity – very common in the market, it simply uses gravity to create pressure that uses the water/ water into the trapway to the sewer line. They’re easy to maintain, but work best with low-flow toilets. Hence, this isn’t the best option for a high efficiency toilet.
• Pressure assisted is much louder but has more air that increases the flushing power. Recent models like the Kohler K-3493-0, use the pressure assisted model for a stronger high flow, less water flush. Moreover, they work similarly to dual flush systems which are the best for high efficiency.
• Double cyclone – this is the use of both pressure and gravity to achieve a more powerful flush with less water. The Toto brand is well known to use this system in their toilets as it can easily utilize a 1.28 GPF to achieve better results than the 1.6 GPF. To identify this system, some brands will use the name double nozzles.
• Dual flush – this is the best choice for high efficiency as it offers two flushing options such as 1.1 gallons or 1.6 gallons, and can be quiet.

Cleaning

How clean the toilet is left is also a major concern as this means the water circulates and reaches every corner of the toilet leaving it clean.

Check for added glaze such as CEFIONTECT, which is a nanoscale. It means it’s an ionized protective barrier that will coat the ceramic for a smoother finish and protects the toilet from harsh chemicals and cleaning agents that may damage it.

This also adds to hygiene as the coating will prevent the adherence of dirt, debris, and particles that may leave bacteria to build up in the toilet. Other brands will also have a sanagloss glaze or just a smooth finish.

Miscellaneous

These are other things you may look for as you shop for the toilet.

Comfort

Check for a comfort height toilet that follows ADA guidelines such as the seat should be 17 to 19 inches high from the ground.

This allows you to comfortably rest your feet on the ground. The height is taller than the standard of 16 inches, but it suits a wide variety of customers.

More dimensions you may look for are the bowl length to check if it’s elongated, or the tank and toilet height.

Another measurement is the rough-in size that’s often at 12 inches but you could find some options in 10 and 14-inch models.

Design

Aesthetics is also a vital element to look for. You may prefer one or two-piece toilets, therefore you should have a choice. Two-piece tend to be more expensive, heavy and could breed spaces for bacteria from the dirt and debris that accumulates between the tank and toilet.

The different toilets also have different designs as you have noted the WoodBridge has a rectangular shape compared to the Kohler and Toto Drake with an oval elongated design. Others can also be round, open front, or in other shapes.
