About Sterling

Sterling is a Kohler Company subsidiary brand (acquired by Kohler in 1984), positioned as the volume tract-builder and value-residential plumbing line. Manufactured in Wisconsin alongside Kohler products but engineered to a different price point — Sterling toilets, faucets, and showers are stocked at Home Depot and Lowes as the "Kohler-quality without the Kohler price" alternative. The toilet line includes the Stinson, Karsten, and Riverton series — primarily two-piece elongated 1.28 GPF models for new-construction spec houses.

About Two-Piece Toilets toilets

A two-piece toilet is a tank bolted to a bowl with a rubber gasket and two brass bolts — the layout that has dominated US plumbing since the 1920s and still represents about 70% of US toilet sales. The format isn't dated; it's the rational choice for the majority of installs.

• Each half weighs ~50 lbs. A one-person install is feasible without dropping a 130-lb porcelain casting up a staircase. The tank gets carried in separately, set on the bowl after the bowl is on the wax ring, bolted down with the tank-to-bowl bolts.
