Description
The Drive RTL12607 is a hinged raised toilet seat for a standard bowl. It adds 3.5 in (9 cm) to the toilet height and its hinge lets the riser move out of the way when it is not needed, which matters in a shared bathroom.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Height: 3.5 in (9 cm) added above the bowl.
- Hinge: the riser swings up out of the way when someone else uses the toilet at the usual height.
- Seat size: 13.5 by 17.5 in (34 by 44 cm), for a standard bowl.
- Build: heavy-duty moulded plastic, made with recycled materials, 5.07 lb (2.3 kg).
- Grip: black skid strips on the underside where it meets the bowl.
- Fastening: the supplied long bolt runs through the original seat and lid, with plastic and metal washers and a wing nut.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For someone who needs extra height to sit down and stand up, in a bathroom others use without it.
- For arms as well, choose the Drive 12402.
Will it fit?
- This model is for a standard bowl at 13.5 by 17.5 in. The elongated version is the RTL12608, 14 by 19.25 in (36 by 49 cm), a separate model.
- It fits most common toilets and seats but not all of them, so measure the bowl and check the hinge has room to swing.
- A close tank or a bidet seat can block the hinge; check before ordering.
Using it day to day
- Remove the existing seat and lid, set the riser on the bowl with the black strips down, and put the original seat and lid back on top.
- Thread the long bolt through the seat and lid and tighten it with the washers and wing nut.
- Before each use, check that the riser is locked in place and the bolts are tight.
- Clean with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm water, rinse and wipe dry; an abrasive cleaner or cloth can damage the surface.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 250 lb (113 kg) and is not rated higher.
- Limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser; see the Warranty tab.
- Hygienic items are not returnable under our return policy, so measure first.
How does it compare?
The Drive 12402 keeps the household seat and adds removable arms; the raised toilet seat range covers clamped and locking models.
