American Standard O-Ring, Fits Brand American Standard, For Use with Series American Standard, Toilets - A912809-0070A

Wax rings, seals, and gaskets are essential for toilets. They're made of plastic or rubber and form water-tight connections to prevent leaks between toilet parts. Wax rings seal the drainpipe between the toilet base and the wall or floor. Signs of a failing wax ring include water seepage and sewer gas odors. Gaskets and seals connect the toilet tank and bowl and may need replacement if water leaks from the tank bottom. Standard toilet repair parts are universal fittings for fixing, mounting, or improving toilet utility. They can replace broken parts, seal leaks, secure fixtures, and facilitate repairs.

Using these wax rings, seals, and gaskets is easy. When installing a wax ring, place it carefully between the toilet base and the drainpipe on the wall or floor. For gaskets and seals, put them in the right place between the toilet tank and the bowl. Make sure to align everything properly. When you notice water seepage at the base of the toilet or unpleasant odors, it's probably time to replace the wax ring. If water is leaking from the bottom of the tank, check the gaskets and seals. For maintenance, regularly check these parts for signs of wear and tear. If they start to look deteriorated, replace them right away. Keep in mind that these are standard parts, so they should fit most toilets with standardized components.
