Product Detail
Gravity tank-to-bowl gaskets, hardware, and kits are essential for installing new toilets or replacing worn parts. Gaskets, made of rubber or plastic, create a watertight seal at the tank-to-bowl connection. Over time, they may deteriorate and cause leaks, requiring replacement. Hardware components like nuts, bolts, and washers connect the tank to the bowl. They may need replacing if they crack, corrode, or have stripped threads. Gravity-tank repair parts fix leaks and restore proper flushing, saving you the cost of replacing the whole toilet. These parts are perfect for gravity-fed tanks in homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and low-traffic areas with 20 - 30 flushes per day. Signs of a tank needing repair include leaking, constant running, and flushing issues.
Using this American Standard tank-to-bowl kit is easy. First, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Then, empty the tank by flushing the toilet and sponging out any remaining water. Next, remove the old gaskets and hardware. Install the new gaskets and use the provided hardware to connect the tank to the bowl tightly. Remember to ensure the gaskets are properly seated to prevent leaks. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the gaskets for signs of wear or damage. If you notice any leaks or the toilet isn't flushing properly, inspect the hardware for corrosion or stripped threads. Replace any worn parts promptly to keep your toilet working well. Also, avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the gaskets or hardware.
