American Standard Yorkville Two-Piece Round-Front 1.28 GPF Toilet

The American Standard Yorkville positioning

The Yorkville (2462.014) is American Standard's classical two-piece round-front toilet — designed for traditional bathrooms where the bowl needs to fit in a compact footprint (round-front saves 2" of depth vs elongated) while maintaining classical-residential aesthetic styling. At $250-$340, the Yorkville fits between the value-tier Mainstream ($150-$210) and the volume-mid Cadet 3 ($210-$290) in pricing, with the premium going into classical architectural detailing.

The Yorkville is the AmStd that pairs with classical bath collections — vintage faucets, pedestal sinks, claw-foot tubs, hex-tile floors. For powder rooms, half-baths, and tight residential bathrooms in classical or restoration-style homes, the Yorkville delivers AmStd brand pedigree with traditional design language in a round-front-compact footprint.

The Yorkville design language

• Classical traditional tank silhouette — subtle architectural detailing through the tank exterior
• Round-front bowl (16.5" front-to-back) — saves bathroom depth vs elongated; suits powder rooms and tight half-baths
• Comfort Height (16.5") — taller than standard residential 14.625" but at the lower end of comfort-height range
• Decorative trip lever with classical chrome detailing
• Pairs with AmStd Yorkville bath collection for full bathroom coordination
• Traditional white-and-warm-color palette (White, Linen, Bone)

What owners report

• The classical aesthetic pairs well with traditional bathrooms. Owners specifically choose Yorkville for restoration projects, vintage-inspired bathrooms, and powder rooms in classical homes.
• The round-front bowl saves bathroom depth meaningfully — owners in tight powder rooms specifically mention this as the buying reason.
• FloWise flush at MaP 800g is solid for normal-use households.
• Standard ceramic glaze shows hard-water spots — EverClean upgrade variant (2462.214) is worth the $30-$40 premium in mineral-heavy regions.
• Service is straightforward. Universal aftermarket parts at every Home Depot.
• Service life: 25+ years porcelain.
• The Yorkville is less broadly distributed than Cadet 3 — may require special-order at some retailers (typically 1-2 week lead).

Where Yorkville wins vs other AmStd two-pieces

• Round-front bowl + classical styling combination is unique within AmStd lineup at this price point
• Pairs with Yorkville bath collection for traditional bathroom suite coordination
• Saves bathroom depth vs elongated Cadet 3 — meaningful in tight powder rooms

Where Yorkville loses

• Round-front less comfortable than elongated for adult use over longer durations
• Standard ceramic glaze on base SKU — EverClean upgrade variant adds $30-$40
• Limited retail availability vs Cadet 3 — may need to special-order at some retailers

The verdict

Buy Yorkville if:

• Classical traditional bathroom design (restoration, vintage-inspired, Victorian, Craftsman)
• Powder room or tight half-bath where round-front bowl matters for depth savings
• You're spec'ing AmStd Yorkville bath collection for coordination
• You want classical styling at sub-$350 price point

Skip and choose Cadet 3 if:

• You want elongated bowl comfort over round-front depth savings
• Broader retail availability matters

Skip and choose Heritage VorMax if:

• You want classical designer aesthetic at premium tier — Heritage adds VorMax flush + one-piece + EverClean standard for the upgrade

Warranty
