Description
The Drive 12066 is a six-inch raised toilet seat without a lid, for a standard bowl. It locks to the bowl with two hand-tightened brackets, carries 400 lb (181 kg), and leaves the top open.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Height: 6 in (15 cm) added above the bowl, the tallest rise in the Drive standard-bowl lock family.
- Seat size: 14 by 16 in (36 by 41 cm), with an 8 by 10 in (20 by 25 cm) inside opening.
- Lock: two locking brackets, one on each side of the bowl wall, hand tightened.
- Build: heavy-duty moulded plastic, with no lid and no arms.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For someone who still cannot stand from a four-inch rise, when the assessment supports six inches.
- For most people a lower seat is easier to sit down on; the four-inch RTL12064 is the usual first choice.
- For a lid, the family stops at the four-inch 12065; there is no six-inch lidded mate.
- For a handhold beside the toilet, use a toilet safety frame.
Will it fit?
- It is made for standard bowls. Drive does not claim an elongated fit for this model.
- Six inches changes where the feet land: check that the user can reach the floor, or a footrest, before ordering.
- Both locking brackets must sit on the two sides of the bowl wall, with the seat flush to the bowl.
Using it day to day
- Remove the existing seat, turn both clamps anticlockwise to open them, and set the raised seat on the bowl.
- Turn the brackets clockwise until tight, by hand only; tools can strip the threads.
- Check that it is locked before each use, keep the user's weight centred, and tighten the side knobs if they loosen.
- To remove it, turn the knobs anticlockwise and pull the seat forward.
- Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner and warm water, rinse and wipe dry; an abrasive cloth can damage the surface.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 400 lb (181 kg) and has no lid or arms.
- Do not stack two raised seats; one locked seat is the listed use.
- Limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser; see the Warranty tab.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable under our return policy, so measure first.
How does it compare?
The RTL12064 adds four inches; the 12065 adds four inches with a lid. The rest are under raised toilet seats.
Frequently asked questions
Is six inches too high?
It can be. Six inches changes where the feet land, so check the seated height and the floor reach before ordering.
Will a lid from another seat fit?
No. The 12066 is sold open, and lids in this family belong to their own part numbers.
Can two shorter seats be stacked instead?
No. One locked seat is the listed use, and stacking can let the top seat shift.
What if the person needs a handhold?
This seat has no arms. A toilet safety frame or an armrest seat adds that support.
