There are a variety of terms that relate to toilet bowl height. It is never measured with the seat on. More and more consumers are preferring an elevated bowl height rather than the "standard" bowl height of 14". Previously, these toilets were manufactured for the disabled, and as such, have the designation "ADA". When you see a toilet marked ADA, you know the seat is between 17-19" high.Some manufacturers want to avoid the "disabled" label, so they use various terms: "right" height, "chair height", "tall" height and "universal height". ALL of these terms are interchangeable, meaning the seat is 16" or higher.
