American Standard Cup Seal, Fits Brand American Standard, For Use with Series American Standard - M962921-0070A

Wax rings, seals, and gaskets are essential for creating water-tight connections in toilets, preventing leaks between and around components. Made of plastic or rubber, they replace deteriorated ones that cause leaks. Wax rings seal the drainpipe between the toilet base and the wall or floor. Signs of a failing wax ring include water seepage at the base and sewer gas odors. Gaskets and seals connect the toilet tank to the bowl and may need replacement when water leaks from the tank bottom. Standard toilet repair parts are universal fittings for fixing, mounting, or enhancing toilet utility. They work on common toilet components like seats, waste lines, and water-supply connections, replacing broken parts, sealing leaks, securing fixtures, and facilitating repairs.

Using this American Standard cup seal is easy. First, make sure to clean the area where the seal will be placed thoroughly. Remove any old wax or debris from the toilet base and the drainpipe or the connection between the tank and the bowl. Then, carefully position the seal in place. For the wax ring, press it firmly onto the drainpipe opening at the toilet base. For gaskets and seals between the tank and the bowl, align them correctly and tighten the bolts gently but firmly. When handling the seals, be careful not to damage them as any small tear can lead to leaks. Regularly check your toilet for signs of leaks, like water around the base or at the bottom of the tank. If you notice any issues, it might be time to replace the seal. Keep the seals away from sharp objects and extreme temperatures to maintain their quality. With proper use and maintenance, these seals will keep your toilet leak - free for a long time.
