What is the weight bearing limits for GERBER VC products?

Please consult the following information for weight bearing limits for GERBER Toilets, Toilet Seats and Lavatories:
 
Floor Mounted Toilets
GERBER current floor mounted vitreous china water closet bowls will withstand a vertical force up to 500 lbs. Note that there are no standards that specify a minimum load bearing capability requirement for floor mount water closets.
 
Wall Mounted Toilets
GERBER current wall mounted vitreous china water closets meet the 500 lbs. minimum load bearing requirements of the ASME A112.19.2-2005/CSA B4 5.1-05 National Consensus Standards for Vitreous China Plumbing Fixtures.
 
Wall Mounted Lavatories
GERBER current wall mounted lavatories meet the 250 lbs. minimum load bearing requirements of the ASME A112.19.2-2005/CSA B45.1-05 National Consensus Standards for Vitreous China Plumbing Fixtures.
 
Wall Mounted Urinals
GERBER current wall mounted vitreous china urinals meet the 50 lbs. minimum load bearing requirements of the ASME A112.19.2-2005/CSA B45.1-05 National Consensus Standards for Vitreous China Plumbing Fixtures.
 
Toilet Seats
GERBER currently does not specify a weight limit on our toilet seats. These seats are designed to pass the industry standard ANSI Z124  Plastic Toilet Seat Test Requirements for residential toilet seats. This specification calls out static load tests of 300 lbs. and several dynamic tests that involve side load rocking and drop testing, which these seats have passed.
 
Note: The ASME Standards are subject to change.
