Product Detail
Gravity tank-to-bowl gaskets, hardware, and kits are essential for installing new toilets or replacing worn parts in existing fixtures. The gaskets, made of rubber or plastic, create a tight water seal between the tank and the bowl. Over time, they can wear out and cause leaks, so replacement is necessary. The hardware, including nuts, bolts, and washers, connects the tank to the bowl. It may need replacing if it cracks, corrodes, or has stripped threads. Gravity-tank repair parts can fix leaks and restore proper flushing in gravity-flush toilets, saving you the cost of a full replacement. These parts are perfect for homes, multi - family residences, hotel rooms, and other low - traffic areas with 20 to 30 flushes per day. Signs that your toilet tank needs repair are leaking, constant running, and flushing failures.
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. Remove the old gaskets and hardware from the tank and bowl connection. Clean the surfaces where the new gaskets will sit. Place the new gaskets between the tank and the bowl, and use the provided nuts, bolts, and washers to connect them tightly. Once everything is in place, turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. When using the kit, make sure to align the tank and bowl properly before tightening the hardware to avoid leaks. Also, don't overtighten the bolts as it can crack the tank or bowl. For maintenance, check the gaskets and hardware regularly for signs of wear, such as cracking or corrosion. Replace them at the first sign of trouble to keep your toilet working well.
